Attic with a view of the Rooftops:


“A picturesque house from the 1600s in the Old Town neighborhood, culture types the basis of this magnificent accommodation totaling 112 sq m (1205 sq ft). The view over the old town checkered roof landscape and sky sets this story from many other individuals.


The apartment in the duplex at present comprises 3 rooms totaling 112 square meters (1205 sq ft) of which 100 square meters (1076 sq ft) are floor location. Downstairs is a classic style with deep window niches and wide pine planks. Here you will find a massive bedroom with space built bookcase and built-in speakers. The area can be shared by the two bedrooms. Directly adjacent are large stroll-in closet with room built furnishings, washing machine and dryer. Big bathroom with tub, heated floors and windows. Separate guest WC.


Upstairs, wind character with sloping ceilings, 6 skylights, 4 dormers with a low parapet, exposed roof trusses and knees. This plane is perceived as incredibly appropriate. The floor program is open with kitchen with dining region and living room creates a wonderfully delightful sitting location. The gear in the kitchen comes from Gaggenau.


Well run association in totally renovated developing. A true dream home in Old Town, amongst colorful cobbled streets, narrow alleys and open squares close to the wharf, the castle and lots of cozy restaurants and cafes. No lift.”

These are a few of my favorite things

I am humming....
But today I will have to add a couple of things to girls in white dresses and fluffy kittens...


Our Christo moment....during the process of getting the new roof.

As our project outside and few improvements inside near their completion, a few of my favorite things have finally made their appearance. Major projects take a long time to complete, the details can take time and the moment, when one finally "sees" the changes can be a challenge to wait for. 


Insulation up in the attic, what a difference!

Yet I am fully aware, I do not deal with a project, which takes longer then a couple of weeks. Two months, maybe a few more days. Small problems do occur, like the one below. But nothing really upsetting so far.


Delay: Wrong window delivered, by next week the new one will arrive.

So my patience has not been tested that much.
And look at the new light fixture. I am in love!
So much nicer then the old one...



Finally: Our new upstairs landing lantern with an Edison bulb!


The new outdoor portico lantern. Portico needs still priming and painting.

But while I am so happy to see the light fixtures functioning and all these things are truly wonderful, I still had been waiting impatiently for something completely unrelated. 
I am a fan of Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce book series. If you are not familiar, go and check it out, his books are a major delight for all fans of great mysteries. Set in England in the 50's, in and around a mansion and the nearby village, Flavia, the 11 year old heroine, solves crimes with smarts, wit and charisma.



That Buckshaw, the old mansion, is falling apart and unfortunately could soon be lost for seemingly ever present financial problems adds to the charm and makes me feel right at home. I can certainly relate. Although our home is, thankfully, not in quite such disrepair (anymore) and our financial situation seems a little more secure, we too fight the endless battles of fixing an old house with regularly occurring maladies, from leaking pipes to toppling chimneys. 
So, now you may imagine my delight, when the latest installment of the series, after a long time waiting, stuck yesterday in our mailbox. After a rather haphazardly thrown together dinner I withdrew into my bedroom, closed the door and dimmed the lights to cozy up to 'Speaking From Among the Bones'. Hard as it was and to make it last a little longer, I stopped reading after one hour or so and since then I have sneaked around the book, almost unable to wait 'til tonight to continue the pleasure...It's so hard...It's right here...And it's as good as the others, maybe even better!
Oh, the waiting has been so long and then the reading fun it's over so quickly. I might just start at the beginning again and read them all after another!
Do you have book series you cannot put down? 

So, between the daily to make decisions about light fixtures, copper flushing, windows, paint colors and books to read, at least the last one has been easy!

Wishing you all easy decisions and a happy weekend! 
I cannot wait to reveal to you all the finished project soon...


xoxo
