Figuring it out

Monica lives with husband Even and their children Ludvig Thomas, 4, and Milla Karlotte, 3, in a 120-year-old house in southern Norway. It was the home of the first midwife in the village, a local shop, then a motorcycle club took it over in the ’80s and made it their own – or wrecked it, depending on your view!

After 18 months of hard work, Monica and Even have created a warm home where vintage pieces with a personal connection are mixed with new things. Monica calls it ‘creative with a sense of humour’ – and when I arrived for the shoot, it really did feel like this house twinkled from the inside out.
