Brutal flowers

When I was at the Garden Festival earlier this spring I found a very nice shop, quite to my taste, it's called Brutal flowers , and the name says it all. When I adopts a lady on my site, I will definitely check out their catalog nämare and fill the area near the pond with all sorts of flowers from their shop. Grymt cool flowers!

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Iron Beds from Metropol

Another piece of furniture that I'm definitely gonna get to the cottage is a pair of smart iron beds. They see in the picture above I found on Metropol , and that's about the style that I could imagine.

A simple and nice table

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Article about antique table at Antique World.

I saw several tables of antique fair earlier this spring that I liked a lot. I checked around online for it to find the type of table, but have not found something special.

When I read an article on the Antique World , I realized that it is folding table that is the kind of table I looked at the antique fair. The table you see in the picture above, I found a website on a farm outside Uddevalla and is just one of those tables that I would like to buy the cottage.

Unfortunately, I find nothing like that can be purchased online right now. But it is certainly a later problem.

What is your dream table look like?

A bunch of dishes ...

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Dinner from Lauritz

Dinner at Lauritz

Another thing that I definitely need to buy the cottage is a service, or perhaps several. My idea is to focus on one color (blue) and an approximate pattern, and then pick up different tableware from there. I like both tableware above that I found on Lauritz.com .

Do you have any good tips on stylish tableware, or where to buy old china cheap?

I was just on my favorite blog in terms of interior design ( Design Ponge online ) and found this wonderful coffee table. Do not think it would fit in my summer home, but I would like to have something like standing at home in our daily room. You can find it and many other coo furniture on http://www.shimna.net/ .

Do you have a good blog to recommend what Gaer decor? I may have missed some good Swedish side, at least as good or better?

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I am really looking forward to summer. One of the things that I really look forward to is going up for auction. It does not appear to auction the works have figured out what the internet is as yet though, so it's hard to find auktioer online and plan their summer. A couple of auction houses around Nora has at least found it online;

A good description how to put the roof from the ground up

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Some inspiration for the roof, I will add I have to pick from more modern technology in comparison to how the house was built from scratch. I've been meaning to insulate the roof with shingles, and then I have to put in new trusses. This komemr also to prop up the roof a little, which I think is needed, when I see how the ceiling is now working.

Below is a link to a good description how to add a roof to roof tops;

Do you have experience of adding roof? Some great tips I can benefit from?
