Swedish-born Annelis and her husband, Erik, live in Wimbledon in London with their children Tom, 12, Marcus, 10, Siri, 17 and Kim, 19, but their island holiday home near Vaxholm, in the Stockholm archipelago, is their refuge every summer.

Synopsis
The house was built around 1890 as a holiday home for a Stockholm family, and has a wonderfully fairy-tale look. Annelis is an interior designer in London, and has given the house a nautical, maritime look using red, white and blue. The family’s boat is absolutely necessary for getting to the house after a late flight from London, and for shopping and visiting their many friends, so when it came to moving furniture, Annelis had to hire a car ferry to transport their furniture. An interesting historical note is that in 1967 Brigitte Bardot was filming in the archipelago nearby and rented the house for the summer.
