Swedish Style American Home

Distressed carved wood Gustavian chairs in the foyer.

Weiss, a restaurant owner and chef, prepares crayfish in the kitchen.

A pale palette ensures bright interiors all year. The Gustavian-style chairs are vintage.

Massive floor-to-ceiling mirrors in the living room illuminate the space and help bring the outdoors inside.

A Swedish daybed is upholstered in green velvet, revealing Arfwidson's love of watery colors. An antique gilded mirror on the floor rests against a wall. Notice how the pictures were hung with the bottom line at the same level.

Storage in style. This antique Swedish bench holds bedding and table linens underneath the seat. A white mirror reflects a collection of gardening hats.
All images Martha Stewart.
