A handmade home
Wed, 24 Nov 2010Every once in a while I see a home featured on a website that makes me sit back and sigh in delight. This is one of those homes. My twin sister sent me the link to this home which I think is in Finland (since the site is) and is the home of a family of 5 where the mother creates beautiful knit objects and the father is a carpenter. I absolutely adore the rustic, natural, neutral and handmade vibe of this home. I think I'm going to save just about all of these photos in my inspiration folder. (More, including the gorgeous kitchen, after the jump).

Such a cozy home. I love the tree trunk table and that black framed fireplace!
OMG!!! I love sooo many pieces!!! perfect for our Canadian winters!
What a fantastic home! Cozy to say the least!
I am in LOVE with this space. What an inspiration to hand knit all those cool things. Not to mention in all my favorite color tones. Just Gorgeous!!
does anybody know where that black chair is from? the one in the living room with the metal base and blanket draped over?
the magazine is finnish, but i think the house in holland or belgium. the notes on the blackboard at least are in dutch and houses like this are (i am looking at the garden) are quite uncommon in finland, but that's just my thought!
wonderful knitting projects!!! wow!
Will I ever have the courage to paint a wall black? That kitchen is awesome --the black paint is the perfect!
Great post. xoxo
OMG...Reminds me so much of my home...I'd love for you to take a look....

Wow what a heavenly cozy home! Is everything homemade? The problem with that would be that I can't go purchase any of these charming pieces!
Hi! I just found out your blog and it´s really pretty.

Wow...the knitting is phenomenal in this warm and cozy house - the pendant lighting in the kitchen is amazing...love it all!!
Just amazing.
I am usually so attracted to color, but all of the knitting creates such depth and warmth that the home doesn't need color. I love to knit as well, but so far have only created 2 scarfs and one only a mother could love...I can't believe she actually wears it!
debbie, the chair is Ikea
I soooooo want that stool in the first pic....please SANTA please....if only I could knit..boo hoo
Such a labor of love!!!
The bed is absolutely fantastic...simple, but family-like. I love the way she embrases cosiness with cold details, like the black wall in the kitchen with the knifes well exposed...it`s all about bringind warm and cold together in the same time, but in her own special extravagant way
