Video: House Tour | Lilla Hyttnäs

Hi. My name is Kajsa Brunkman, and welcome to the home of my great-great-great grandparents, Carl and Karin Larsson here in Sundborn, Sweden. Let’s take a look inside. [GENTLE MUSIC] This is Carl’s studio. Here, he painted some of his most famous artworks that helped shape Swedish national identity. This is Karin. She decorated this home with her interior designs and textiles. Carl and Karin had eight children together. And when food was ready, Karin banged the gong. [BANGS GONG] This is the dining room. Karin sat over here. Carl sat where I’m sitting right now, and the children, they sat in order of age around this table. This lovely parlor was used as a place to relax and rest. And on the door, Carl has painted his daughter, Brita. This is the girls’ bedroom. When one of Karin’s aunts came to visit here, she thought it was ugly because white walls was only found in hospitals and in prisons at the time. Let’s visit Carl’s bedroom. The first thing Carl does in the morning is look at his paintings. So, therefore, he made this hatch to peek at his atelier. This is the guest bed. Here we can see who have slept here throughout the years. Look at this lovely little stool. Well, it’s actually a potty for the guests. Thank you for visiting. Goodbye for now.
