This is the STABLE that will become our new home, seen from the westside.
Detta är själva Stalldelen som skall bli vårt nya hem från västsidan.
This is the first view of the house you get from the road. The stable is the house on the right that you see a half part of.
Detta är vyn man ser när man kommer på vägen. Rosenbågen leder fram till huvudhuset, men det är Stallet till höger som skall bli vår bostad.
--------------------------------------------
It all started some years ago when Francisco, whom I share my life and adventure with, went by the house&stable on bike and felt drawn to it. I then found it online (without knowing he knew it) and took him to see it!
He told me how he had seen it before and fell in love with it.
It felt like this should be our place in the world. We went into a bidding for the house&stable, but found it too expensive.
So we gave it up.
We were then contacted 6 months later when the sale of the house had not gone through.
The house&stable could acutally become ours after all.
We came to an agreement with the sellers of the house and it was ours this year in April.
The house&stable were built at the turn of the century and noone knows for sure what year and there are no records of the house to find.I kind of like the mystery of that.
So this is the STABLE that will become our home. Are you in for some renovating ?
I am and your are invited to come along!

I have always liked window shutters. It´s such a perfect way to close the windows and they decorate the house in a beautiful way.
Love them in wood and worn like these I found on our trip through spain. In Sweden you do not see them so much, but in many countries around the mediterranean they are everywhere. Although sadly mostly nowadays in metall. They are a great decorative object standing in your living room or as a room divider.
Plastic bottles. Not so pretty usually. When I found these in Barcelona I though this is the most attractive I´ve ever seen plastic bottles be recycled. Thank you who ever you are who planted even hyacinths in plastic bottles in Carrer Ample.
Have a wonderful weekend all of you great people :)

The Magis chair became a holder/pedistal for the copper container for the flowers.
Why not ?
The adress is 404 Park Avenue South that means East 28th Street if your hailing a cab
Not easy to guess who the designer is by looking at the house.
On the roofterrace of the building you definately see signs of the designer
There is even a art decorated childrens play room in this building.
Your living room could look like this if you would buy one of the renovated apartments in this neo classical building from 1917.
The luxury condominiums go by the name HUYS
which derrives from the dutch word HUIS that means house.
In swedish the word for house is HUS.
You see! -Dutch and Swedish have a lot in common. In spelling that is. No so much in pronounciation.
So, have you guessed who the designer is that has created HUYS on 404 Park Avenue South ? It´s Piet Boon. I have always wanted those chunky wooden out door chairs ever since I saw them for the first time a couple of years ago. I would go for a Piet Boon design apartment in the big Apple anytime would you?
Cement sides to hold the structure. Two pieces of wood, one that is decorated nicely.
Some pieces of brick as armrests. An outdoor bench can be made even more simple, but this is a easy way to make a durable outdoors ( or whynot indoors?) piece of furniture.
That´s what I call outdoors easy.
I have a special relationship to Datura.
