Our Swedish summer house was originally the all-year-round house where my mother was born and raised until the age of 8 when the family could afford to build a more modern house. It doesn’t have a modern bathroom, you wash in the lake.

Our Swedish summerhouse has been in the family for over 100 years, the wood-fired sauna was a recent addition based on original drawings of a bath house that used to be located in the exact same spot until it blew away in a storm in the 60’s. More photos by Mikaela Rudhner.

Wooden buildings often aren’t arbitrarily red.
Falu red (pronounced “FAH-loo”, in Swedish it’s Falu rödfärg) is the name of a Swedish, deep red paint well known for its use on wooden cottages and barns for preservation. The paint originated from the copper mine at Falun in Dalarna, Sweden and consists of water, rye flour, linseed oil and tailings from the copper mines of Falun which contain silicates iron oxides, copper compounds and zinc. Falu red is still widely used in the Swedish countryside.
