Back on the block

Family visiting

Amazing sunsets at lake Uttran

Swiming in the lake

Painting even the mailbox

Weather so warm the grapes are growing like mad

Datura to die for :)

Garden flowers en masse


Back from vacation but still enjoying summer.
A bit hard to be effective all day long, but I did my best.

Hope you all had a wonderful summer and that we all
will have more wonderful warm and summery weather.
My blog is back on the block, or at least back :)

Time for vacation!
Will be back in Aug.
Thank you for this lovely season.
See you soon :)

100% veranda

Its in place. It feels perfect for the house. The veranda now wraps around the house and welcomes you when you make your way to the front door.
Could not be more content. The carpenters have done such a splendid job.
Thank you, thank you, thank you

Rackrecycling

The fifties hatrack came with the house. It was left in the shed I want to turn into a guesthouse eventually...

Along with the clothrack from Mimou it serves as a guest wardrobe. Boxes from Granit and a old beautiful hatbox holds the necessities you want to hide.The throw from my collection (stiched with nr 3) of suede is used in the guestroom as a bedspread that covers part of the bed.

Love my old Abercrombie flip-flops, have had them repaired several times and will again.
Using them everyday as I walk down to the lake and since its been sooooo warm here we take swims often.

The last of the lupins

The last of the lupins from the garden in a old glass water-container.
Can you see my newly put up knobs on the wall ?

Wrap around veranda

We are gettin there! Soon the whole house will be wrapped in a veranda, or the veranda wrapped around the house. The framework is soon done. As you can see it holds many levels and took some planning from my side and good carpenterwork to be able to realize. If you scroll back you find the plan of the veranda. Think its time for a swim in the lake. The water is not almost 22 degrees celcius. Lovin´it!

Entrance at last

At last the entrance to our house is being constructed. From now on it will not feel like your are coming to a building site as you enter the house. Well at least in a week or soo...
You can see all the levels built that will be both stairs and larger platforms that will serve as a wrap around veranda. Can not wait until its all done. Got to take a swim now :)

Äntligen blir entrén till huset byggt. Vi har inte haft någon farstutrapp utan
det har sett ut som en byggplats när man har kommit fram till huset. Förskräckligt!
Innanför är det mesta klart inne men utanför har det sett bedrövligt ut. Nu skall det bli ordning och reda och inte nog med det utan även vackert runt hela huset. Underbart!
