Inside a Historic Scandinavian Home Where Past and Present Meet

Step inside the extraordinary Swedish archipelago home of Ann Millang, a Homeworthy alum and interior designer known for bringing Scandinavian design sensibilities to homes across the United States. Splitting her time between Laguna Beach and Sweden, Ann has lovingly restored this remarkable historic property, now protected on Sweden’s landmark registry.

Once operating as a traditional bed and breakfast, the home is rich with original features that have been carefully preserved and reimagined. From classic tiled ovens to restored glass ceilings, every detail honours the building’s history while embracing a calm, contemporary Scandinavian approach to living.

Surrounded by water, forest, and quiet, this home is both a retreat and a restoration — a place where craftsmanship, nature, and thoughtful design come together effortlessly.
