Lilla Hyttnas is nestled next to a lake in Sundborn north of Stockholm Sweden. This house, in my opinion, speaks volumes about Carl and Karin Larsson. Unlike the popular decorating style of the era this house is colorful, light and airy and many of the furnishings were designed by them.
Larsson’s watercolors depicting simple everyday things with smiling children are some of my favorites. The following is called Brita’s Little Nap:
“Woman Lying on a Bench”
For better views of Carl Larsson’s other works you can visit WikiGallery.Org.
The Larsson home is still owned by the family and is open to the public from May through September for guided tours. There are quite a few Larsson Home YouTube selections about the garden if you are interested.
Also, I found a property located in North Carolina that is listed for sale on Realtor.com that was definitely done in the Larsson style:
I hadn't heard of that style. Will have to keep my eyes peeled from now on!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely bright way of painting and style of decorating. I must remember this for future school art projects!

How very interesting. I love that cute, colorful cottage! I'm going to have to ask hubby (he's an artist) if he knows about Carl Larsson...I like his style!
