Julita Garden & Pettson’s kitchen
Here are some photos from Julita, a castle with a big garden you should visit if you are in the area of Katrineholm. Oh, and how cute is this: A green kitchen! Something for home decorating inspiration, right? It is a Swedish style (old farmer home) but also a bit too small to live in, […]
