White in Norway

<div align="center">Far from yesterday's boisterous, colourful home, we shall tour a peaceful (as the basket in the sitting room clearly claims) house in Bodø, a town in Nordland county, Norway.

Tuscan Villa in Oslo

Hard to believe this Tuscan style Villa is in Norway. It is located on an island in the Oslo Fjord. It was built in 1917 by architect Einer Engelstad who was sent to Italy in 1915 to get enough inspiration to build a Tuscan style villa. It has been restored since then, but the owners had most of the interior elements purchased in Italy and some in France.<br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>REHABILITERT & RESTAURERT</strong><br /> Etter den omfattende ombyggingen fremstår villaen i dag som en forbedret versjon av originalen. I løpet av ett år ble det samlet bygningsdeler. På taket ligger gammel enkuplet takstein innkjøpt i Italia. Fra soverommene og badet er det dører mot skjermet uteliv på terrassen.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_1.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 486px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>SJELDEN STRANDPERLE</strong><br /> Arcadien ligger skjermet bak høye, slanke furutrær samtidig som bygningen speiler seg i sjøen. Fra terrassene er det fri sikt mot sjøen.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_6.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 868px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>KULINARISK</strong><br /> Ifølge mange eksperter lages den beste italienske maten hjemme der måltidene nytes som dagens høydepunkt. I Villa Arcadien er kjøkkenet et høydepunkt i seg selv. Innredningen er tegnet av arkitekten og har innebygde skap og innholdsrik kjøkkenøy med mange praktiske finesser. I bakkant av kjøkkenet ligger et grovkjøkken; superpraktisk.</p> <p>Nyoppussede stoler står i kledelig selskap med det italienske langbordet. Hjørneskapet er gustaviansk. Kronen i taket er fra Italia. Steingulvet fra Frankrike bidrar til å gi rommet stemning som i et ekte italiensk landkjøkken. Godt det er høyt under taket.</p> <p>La Cornue-komfyren er blikkfang i kjøkkenregionen, og med sine detaljer er den en estetisk nytelse i seg selv. Kokken kan ikke skylde på utstyret … Kundene kan velge blant et rikt utvalg av tilbehør som gir hver komfyr et individuelt preg.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_2.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 432px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>LIN & LAVENDEL</strong> <br /> Nattbordet har vært i villaen i snart 100 år. Overnattingsgjestene sover i store delikate soverom med inngang som vender ut mot gårdsrommet. Himmelsengen er laget med en patinert gavl. Delikat oppredning med quiltet sengeteppe.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_4.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 976px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>ROM FOR ROMANTIKK</strong><br /> Skuldrene senkes, stemningen gir ro. De doble glassdørene åpnes mot morgensolen og terrassen. Blomsterinnslag i tekstilene setter farge på tilværelsen. Som i eldre hus er det tegnet frittstående, høye garderobeskap. Lyse gardiner i gammel lin henger i de høye vinduene som vender mot frukthagen. Stol og bord er nytt. Det er også kommoden, men laget i gammel stil, mens lampen ble med hjem fra en reise i Italia. Speilet er av god, gammel årgang. De gamle nattbordene har stått trofast til tjeneste gjennom mange netter. Sengen har både himmel og rottinggavl. Innslag av dempet rødt blir som streif av morgensol i soverommet.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_5.jpg" style="width: 649px; height: 432px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>SYDLANDSK STEMNING</strong><br /> Arkaden har søylerekke med utsøkt detaljering. Kapitelene var ødelagt, men ble rekonstruert og laget hos en spesialist i Krakow. Under tak og med puter og pledd kan utelivet nytes langt ut i natten.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_7.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 433px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p><strong>FRODIG MILJØ</strong><br /> Blomster, trær og busker skaper liv og dufter.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id56/Arcadien_3.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 487px;" /><br /><br />Photography by Sølvi dos Santos<br />All images from <a href="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/">here</a>.
