Beautiful home. I just wanted to make a correction to the first sentence of this article. Vendelsö (at least the Vendelsö of which I am aware and the one that is shown on this website's map) and Stockholm are on opposite sides of the country, certainly not 20 minutes apart.Perhaps the author is confusing Göteborg with Stockholm.
Wonderful home....l love the blue oriental rug ...mind sharing your source?
Ditto on the blue oriental rug! Would love to know the source. Thanks!
Issac, this is the Vendelsö which is a suburb of Stockholm. It is indeed about 20 minutes or so south of the city. The map seems to be pointing to the sparsely inhabited island of Vendelsö (part of the Vendelsöarna archipelago) just off the coast at Frillesås.
Our son is building a house in central Texas modeled after this one. Beautiful design.
