Take a trip back in time in this country house, decorated entirely with vintage furniture and gadgets from the past. Everything, from chairs and tables to organs, paintings and books in the house's library, has been collected over years of auction finds and fun - something grandfather Olle started in the 1950s. Warm welcome to a bygone era, just outside the rural village of Floby in the middle of Vänern and Vättern!

The space
We see our vintage house as something in between a guesthouse and a showroom/museum. Please take good care of all the gadgets! Not least books, paintings, ornaments and textiles. We are very happy to share the place with you!

The house has a large and medium-sized bedroom, a children's room, a small library, a spacious living room, a kitchen and two small toilets (both with shower).

One double bed and two single beds are available. In the children's room there is a crib, in the master bedroom there is a smaller pull-out crib. We have two extra beds that can be set up if you are many guests.

The kitchen has simple cooking utensils and dishes for up to ten people.

Outside the house there is a large garden that you are more than welcome to use. Outdoor wooden furniture is also available.

Other things to note
The house is located right next to a store that belongs to the family business, Floby Överskottslager. Military surplus, tools, retro furniture and curios (and much more!) are sold here. All the decor in the accommodation comes from here, you are most welcome!

My work: Writer/photographer
Speaks Arabic, English, and Swedish
I’m an independent writer and photographer from rural Sweden. Since 2009 I live in Beirut where I work on journalistic projects, including Switch Perspective, a storytelling workshop project to which I am one of the co-founders. I have a big interest in textiles and handmade crafts, such as embroidery and weaving. Since 2024 I also host a retro Airbnb home in my native village in Sweden together with my family.
