Norwegian home

Summer school saw photographer Mary Beth Koeth spend time in a beautiful holiday home honing her already impressive skills. Robert, the owner of that lovely summer house has, surprise, surprise, an equally beautiful home. Everything you would expect a stylish Norwegian home to be. White, bright with views to die for. Imagine wasting time lying on the deck just watching the sail boats glide by. Well you can. Robert's home is for sale (here). Thankfully Mary Beth snapped these lovely shots for us before Robert leaves.

Sparse furnishings always counterbalanced by natural textures. It's calm. It's zen like. It's beautiful in its carefully curated way. Simplicity at its best. Photography by the incomparable Marjon Hoogervorst.
