The warmer temperatures this weekend has us crossing our fingers hoping for an early spring. Looking for airy interiors to tide us over, we were immediately attracted to the spring-like feel of this renovated villa in Arendal, Norway. The floral wallpaper, colorful painted doors and white walls reminds us that longer days are on the way.
Wasn't sure about that blue floral, but the second picture from the bottom is really great. The light in this place is great, but the clouds on the ceiling are a bit too whimsical for my taste.

I love it. So crisp and clean. Of course, it helps that it's a bright, sunny day. The Scandinavians really know how to create bright interiors -- the better to ward off the often gloomy weather.

Very appealing use of color.
A home must have whimsy! The structured clouds are my favorite part. Much more interesting and evocative than a vague cloud wash on a blue background like some I've seen.

fantastic space! Well done, doesn't look like every detail was stressed over - finally a space that isn't trying to so hard. does anyone know more about the light fixture above the dining room table?

mellow yellow - the fixture is from IKEA (seen here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/lighting/knappa-pendant-lamp-013825)
A less expensive alternative to the Le Klint item one might say it was based off (http://www.dwr.com/product/le-klint-172b-pendant.do?keyword=le klint 172&sortby=ourPicks)

I love that Scandinavian white with color. The appeal to me is the very spare interior in terms of objects with the over the top wall paper.

Yes. This is so lovely. The blue wallflower is a breath of fresh air, most especially with the spare, light-filled, airy space. So beautiful.

This is such a great blend of styles which usually don't blend together, but works so well here. I could never pull this off.

Benjamin Moore paints would be a great way to re do some of your walls and rooms around your house.... http://www.aboffs.com/paint.htm
