House: The Small Version - Lekestua

Last Autumn we buildt a small version of our house for our youngest son.

On the pictures you will see that it still has a bit of paint and details left to finish. The snow came and surprised ut and we had a struggle to get the bits done. 

Lekestua som nærmest er en miniatyrutgave av vårt hus. Vi bygget den til yngstemann sist høst. Snøen kom og gjorde at vi ikke ble helt ferdig med alle små detaljer utenfor, så det må fullføres til våren.

This is the view from the lounge window. Come Summer we will be building him a couch to go with the little coffee table from my husbands childhood home.

He chose Mc Queen qurtains and I made some bunting for him too. He was super-pleased.

Utsikten fra stuevinduet, Mc Queen gardiner valgte han selv. Til sommeren skal vi lage en liten pallesofa til ham. Han er superfornøyd med husprosjektet.

Found this tiny section at a thrift store last Summer. The lamp works and the wiring is fine. The plan is to give it a makeover and a new look. It is only about 1m. high which means the perfect size for a child`s lounge.

Denne lille seksjonen fant jeg i en bruktbutikk til kr 150,-. Den skal få en makeover til våren. Den er så liten at den passer perfekt i stua her i lekestua.

The little kitchen corner. Kitchen unit from Ikea, the little table belonged to my daughter when she was small and the wood stove is from the farm. It has a crack in the side and was discarded and put in the barn, but as it is just for fun the crack is of no importance.

Kjøkkenkroken. Kjøkkenbenken er fra Ikea, det lille bordet tilhørte min datter da hun var liten og den gamle vedovnen er fra gården.

Most of the kitchen untencils are thrift finds, like the little porcelain cups from Porsgrunn Porselen.

Det meste av kjøkkenutstyret er kjøpt brukt, slik som de små porselenskoppene fra Porsgrunn Proselen. Gav kr 5,- per stk. for dem.

It is amazing what a little paint job can do to something.

Utrolig hva litt maling kan gjøre.

I made this crackled look on the shelf and drawers, thought it gave it an aged look and was quite charming.

Laget denne krakelerte effekten på den lille hyllen, synes det ble tøfft.

The plan is to eventually insulate the little house and transform it into a little aged-looking cottage, homely and appealing to play in. Sofar he loves is and eats his breakfast in it sometimes, brushes off his boots and sits watching the snow falling outside :). 

Further plans are to make a little office corner inside and a very own strawberry patch outside.

Planen er å isolere lekestua etterhvert og gjøre det om til en "gammel" liten stue i skogen. Hjemmekoselig og morsom å leke i. Eieren selv er veldig fornøyd med huset sitt og spiser ofte frokosten der inne i helgene.

Videre planer er å lage en liten kontorkrok inne og en egen liten jordbæråker utenfor.

Håper alle får en fin helg. Her har vi vært syke hele uka og er fortsatt ikke helt i form. Håpet er at alle er friske nok til en skitur på søndagen. Det er kommet mer snø, lett og fin. Alt ser hvitt og vakkert ut og man må prøve å nyte det.

Hoping that your weekend will be a good one, here we have been sick the past week and still feel a bit doddery. Hoping that Sunday all will be well enough to put our skis on and go into the forest. We have had fresh fluffy snow and everything is looking just beautiful at the moment - hope to make the most of it.
