Greenhouse priorities
One might think that it is most important to get the plantbeds into the greenhouse…Well, I have different priorities…I was thinking about a solution for sitting, relaxing and enjoying the view. Last spring I built an outdoor couch out of old pallets. Ordered fitting… Continue Reading “Greenhouse priorities”
Mandelmanns gård
2020 I discovered a swedish TV programme that I’m completely addicted to since then. “Mandelmanns gård” It started with me watching all seasons I missed so far and then longing for new episodes. The programme is about a family that is running and creating… Continue Reading “Mandelmanns gård”
What is a farm without chicken?
For so so many years I’ve been wanting chicken. About ten years ago I visited an animal park in Germany. “Arche Warder”. There they breed old breeds of farm animals.

Another one of those attic treasures. What appeared to be just a pile of sticks in a dark corner, turned out to be sunchairs. Well, somewhat sunchairs. The wood was in bad shape and they had no fabric on. But I decided to change… Continue Reading “Reviving old sunchairs”
Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. ~ Boyd K. Packer
When we bought this little summerhouse, there was this old picnictable standing in the garden. My first impulse was: ” We can throw that one out right away:” But what can I say…it grew on me. And then we kept on using it, as… Continue Reading “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. ~ Boyd K. Packer”
Let’s get cozy
The bedroom is still in progress, but Tuesday we finally bought proper mattresses. It only took us about a year 😊 Today I fixed one of the walls. I hung one of the mirrors there that we found in the house. After finding a… Continue Reading “Let’s get cozy”
