Carl and Anna Larsson

I love Carl and Anna Karin Larsson's work.
I love the way you feel like your right in the room.

This is mine that I have hanging in the kitchen
I want to re frame it maybe in a scrubbed pine frame
or a bright red what do you think?




I love the way these rooms are decorated
the furniture the enamelware.

just look how amazing

bright and colorful


For all the inns and outs check out the museum
and all the history HERE.



To me these are just Bliss.
Scandinavian at it's best.

  1. SWEDISH HOUSEJanuary 4, 2011 at 8:29 AM

    Oh what a lovely post...
    I keep meaning to post about them too.
    2 summers ago, I was fortunate to visit their house in Sundborn...a magical delightful place I took lots of photo's. It's not far from Falun which is about 2 hours from where we live.
    If anyone ever has the opportunity to come to Sweden, this is a definite MUST on your list.
    It is stepping back in time to the real Sweden, but as a couple and family, they were far ahead of the times...
    Thank you Heidi
    Your pictures are great.
    I have the one entitled Christmas Morning
    LOVE PEACE enJOY

    Oh, yes, they're lovely aren't they? - I have a book of them somewhere. I love the top one - and the one you have. Don't know about your frame - depends on your wall colour, etc., I guess. Abby

    They are beautiful ... I have seen some of these images and heard of Carl Larsson. Each picture is so inviting and charming and honest ... look at the little thing getting dressed. So beautiful.

    I think I'll look up "The Emmigrants" too ... sounds intriguing.

    They are so beautiful. I love the one of the two girls in their bedroom. I actually like them with the white frame. On your blog they are framed with a big white space and they really stand out well. But then I'm a sucker for white frames! You do whatever you love.

    There's a book in our library that I'd love to find on ebay. I take it out over and over again - all about the life of the two of them and what they created in their home.

    Amazing images, my best friend at school was Swedish & they had all this kind of art in the house. She is amazing, raising her children very Swedish (language, customs, lifestyle) in Sydney, i especially loved their Christmas festival with the candles in their hair, so fascinating. Love Posie

    Hi Heidi,

    Sorry it took me so long to visit again, but I have taken a bit of a holiday. I wasn't feeling too good over Christmas and needed some time to relax. Now I am feeling much better :-)!

    We seem to like the same things. Larsson's paintings are beautiful!

    Enjoy your day!

    Lieve groet, Madelief

    Oh me too, I love their work. I love the fact that they are snapshots of ordinary family life, as well as the lovely interiors of their home. :)
