A very small but perfect cottage in the Stockholm archipelago

See the full gallery on Posterous

Only a short post today. Just wanted to share how excited I am that I found this beautiful tiny cottage near Stockholm, which we've now booked for a week this Summer. I love the painted white wooden walls and the eclectic mix of furniture. Yup - right up my street. It's got a beach, kayaks, a barbecue, a sauna and gorgeous views onto the archipelago. And still within cycling distance of the city buzz (yes, bicycles also come with the cottage!). Bring it on!
