Bumpy roads from four months with loads of snow, but bare. White as long as the eye can see, but warm sun. Cold, but Celsius high above Zero. Slide roof, wind in the hair, clear blue sky. The very first day of Spring has come, finally!
We took a ride in the car, drove out to the Nynäs Castle, just outside of Nyköping. And it was WONDERFUL!!!

This version of “Seven Spanish angels” is simply beautiful. It finds the way right into your heart!
Take an old mill and some stables in Wales, and convert it into a pretty family home and you’re sure to win the English, Best Period Renovation Readers’ Awards, which is what former fashion designer Linda Cobbett did. And here’s the result.

A beanbag with the traditional Norwegian Marius pattern. So cool!
The pattern was designed in 1953, by Unn Søiland and named after the Norwegian Alpine skier Marius Eriksen. Today it is the most sold and knitted pattern in the world.

And here are some other photos of “Marius”. The original is black, white and red and is often confused with the red, white and blue. The latter was designed the year before.
Check out this absolutely amazing apartment! And it’s for sale. In MY town. And. I. Want. It. Badly!!
Don’t miss the beautiful fireplace. Fireplaces in cast iron is normal to see in Swedish homes but this one is so special. I’ve never seen one like it. I could buy this home only based on this object.
The prize tag is SEK 2 350 000, which isn’t to bad for a renovated two story apartment with French balcony in the best area of the city!
The apartment building is a so called Governor’s House, named after Albert Ehrensvärd. The story behind it was that in the 19th century it was only allowed to build two stories high houses in wood and so one crossed the red tape and built the first floor in stone.
This way of building is typical for Gothenburg but can also be found in other places of Sweden.
Most of these homes were built for the working class and usually they had one room and a kitchen where up to 15 people lived together. Today the apartments are very popular amongst small families and it’s hard to find one to buy.
Enjoy the photos!
