This is how it looks like right now.

Rome wasn't built in a day (hate this saying)
Upstairs has been a mess it looked like this when we started



Underneath was this treasure. Lovely boardflooring isn't beautiful

J said what is this should I walk on boardflooring it was better before. I tried to explain how fantastic it is with this wooden floor but he is skeptical. Well in a month or so we're painting it yes of course it's going to be white.

FRIDAY

YES its Friday again...My back hurts from all the painting now H is painting instead. So I get some time in front of the computer. Today at work I think I sad My back hurts at least 20 times. Then I realize that they get tired of me. So I E-mailed some friends called my dad and H.
By the way we had a nice time in Stockholm and had some really nice food and desserts as well as some shopping. I bought Iittala glas in sand colour I really like them thats going to be my everyday glas. The Bond movie was not that good but I really like Daniel Craig.

Tonight I think I watch this movie

or maybe this one


Have a nice Friday

Congratulations America

I just feel that I have to write something about the new president. History has been writen this week. Only time can tell wether or not the wind of change has blewn in over the States. Hopefully it's time to change the constitution that it's not everyones right to carrie a gun and that everyone has the right to get good healthcare.
Now a new familly is moving in to the White house. Actually I have been inside the White house and is really huge. It was during my time as an au-pair when it still was possible to walk and feel safe all over the States.

Today I've been to the public swim-club with J and his friend. I didn't swim. Instead I watch them having fun. For me it was like sitting in a sauna for three hours. I don't really like to go swimming that's why I watched them instead. Cause when I'm in the water then I get cold and then my feets cramp...Talk about getting old.On Saturday I'm going to see the new Bond movie Quantum Of Solace. It starts at 9.30 pm and my first reaction was that late...I'm really getting old. H thought it was late as well so I'm not alone. By the way both J and H is getting glasses so now the whole family will have glasses hmm but we're not getting the same jackets...

Rome wasn't built in a day

Everyday I hear these few words. Yes I know but I really want a very nice house now. Tomorrow we're going to by wallpaper, colour and linseed oil. One small step at a time. No relaxing weekend but next weekend I'm going to Stockholm jippi. No dust no work just nice hotelrooms and food served in nice restaurants. By the way J is coming next week so we're going to celebrate Murres 1 year Birthday. We're going to bake cupcakes and sing for him. Well the cat wont get anything since he's getting chubby but we'll eat for him instead.
Good night

It's starting to get better. But it's dust all over the place like a thin air inside covering almost everything.





The cats doens't like all the noice from the machines we have to use to clean the stairs from old glue and wax. I don't think we ever do this again in my next life I'll paint the stairs instead.

First photo

First photo from our house. This is what the hallway looked like before we started renovating. I show you tomorrow what it looks like right now.

If you think this is bad you should see it now...It's even worse...
