New house

In january 2015 me and my hunny bought a house together! A huge house with a huge back yard! And a tiny garage (more on that later..).
We moved a bit out from Oslo, so we could afford it, but since it is right by a train station that only uses 30 min to Oslo, and goes every half an hour, it works out great. And my brother with his kids lives nearby too.

Here are some pictures of the house as we moved in, these are quite old as there has been some changes the last 3 years, more of them later. But this is why the rooms are not all glossy and tidy, they are all I have left from before they got redone, I even had to use some pictures from the prospect from the seller.
Small driveway

Guest toilet


Big long living room with fireplace

Tv on the wall

Dining area

A looong deck

Our gardenskills shows.. Have to do better..

Kitchen: Small and not so good as my old in the apartment..

Did add a giant fridge that I love!

Messy kitchen that is too small for us, planning on redoing it soon!

Our basement is another apartment, we used it for storage and gaming room.

This basement living room got a makeover, more on that in a later blogpost.

Started out as storage.

Kitchen in the basement apartment.

Bathroom in the basement, we used this until we got a new one on the first floor.

Bedroom in the first floor that later got redone.

We never used this bedroom, as it got turned into a bathroom, more on that later.

This bedroom in the basement was ours until we were done with the one on the first floor.


As you can see, I will post a heck of a lot more blogposts about our new house, the redesigning I did with the bathroom, bedroom, how the basement turned out and what we use it for now, our new car, gardenstuff, travelstuff and so on. I will try to feed my blog as much as I am able.

The finished kitchen

Hello.
I just now remembered I used to have a blog! After finding it again, I can now see that I never posted any photos of the finished kitchen. So here goes, as well as some pictures of the other rooms we did before we sold my apartment.

My dream kitchen, too bad we moved from this just as I was starting to enjoy it.





New floors and paint in the 2. bedroom

Livingroom got new floors and painted walls.

Kitchen update.

This is the latest update from my kitchen. We finally got up the kitchenfan! I went to the hardware store and bought some supplies, and managed to fix it in place with my own design. The manual for the fan was no good, so I am really proud that I found a way to secure it nice and snug in the cupboard. It has stayed in place and worked like a dream for about a month now. Never mind the ventilation shaft, it is only temporary, it will be my next mission.

Kitchentiles!

Yes, this blog is a lot about my kitchen.. And I am sorry, but it is a big part of my life at the moment, as it is hell to live without. So I guess when it is finished, my blog will be more about other stuff.. Cooking for example.. Hehe.

Today we got some great masoners to do the tiles in the kitchen. The walls are so crooked, so if I would try doing it myself, I guess it would look awful. I am a bit handy, but I have never done tiling, and this was a challenge even for the pros. But they did a great job, and now you can se the result for yourself. Just look, no touching, it has to dry until tomorrow! ;)

Balcony in the dark.

Yes, at last we have our balcony back! This weekend we worked hard and cleaned out the temporary storagespace that was our balcony. This was where our old kitchen lived while we were building the new one. And just in time for the summersun-temperatures, we now have a nice balcony with a sofa and flowers.

Just take a look!
Not that big, but we now got a sunbed/sofa, and the sunshine from 12:00 and until it sets.

I made two of these, with superpetunias, ivy and a stepmotherflower..

Cozy!
 My boyfriend enjoying a nice place to smoke (not my intension, i hate smoking!) and we got some sunpowered lights for a cozy atmosphere at night.
And now, a little preview on the tiles we bought for the kitchen! What do you think? It will be on the long wall behind the sink and hotplates. It is matte with glossy markings.
Just love them..

Fridge!

Yes, at last, after days of hard work, and thanks to my electritian we now have a working fridge and freezer. And even the stove is in place. Here are some pictures of the kitchen so far (have gotten some more drawers and stuff in plase now)


Here you see the sink, and where the stove and fridge will be.

Here you can se how big my workbench will be, baking and looking out the window.. The hotplates you can see to the right. (the fronts of the drawers are not blue, just have not removed the protective coating on them yet)
This we did today, installed the stove and fridge!

At last i can store some food again! Really missed my milk.. :D

Kitchensink!

It has been a while since I updated my blogg. Want to know what I have been busy doing? Only one thing, actually.. Building my new kitchen! It takes a lot more time than you think, and there is always some trouble. Sometimes things dont fit, you have to make some adjustments, and so on. Today we got so far ahead, that the plumber could install the waterpipes. So now we have running water in our kitchen! Now we only miss the electrician and then we actually can use the kitchen again! But there are still a lot of stuff to do, like laying tiles on the wall over the counter, and wallplates on the other walls. I will put out more pictures as we get along finishing it. For now, you can enjoy looking at our sink with water running! It is going to be so stylish!

Kjøkken borte..

Her går det unna! Nå er kjøkkenet helt revet og gulvet står for tur. Det viste seg at det var vannskade under kjøkkenbenken, så er bra jeg skulle bytte gulvet også. Hvitevarene er nå frakoblet, og vi må leve i en tilstand av take-away og snyltemiddager.  Eneste vi har beholdt er vannkokeren. Så vi kan leve på nudler også, om det blir knappt med økonomien. Det er bare å be oss over på middag!

Her kommer litt bilder av kjøkkenet, legg spesiellt merke til den grelle rosafargen som var på kjøkkenet før..

Her stod kjøkkenet, og vannskaden kan sees i hjørnet.

Her var det "plass" til et mini spisebord jeg aldri brukte, så nå blir det heller benkeplate over hele!


Når vi ikke river kjøkken eller spiser på fancy (og ikke fancy) restauranter, sitter vi ofte her og koser oss forran pcene våre. Andre folk sitter og glaner på tv, vi sitter og spiller sammen. Da går det som regel i World of Warcraft. Den daglige surfinga og sporadiske blogginga foregår også her.

Her sitter vi og nerder skikkelig!

Jeg hadde tenkt å blogge hver dag, men med kjøkkenet som maser, blir det ikke alltid tid til å blogge. Også er det jo begrensa hvor mye jeg kan skrive om oppussinga. Skal prøve å tenke ut noe artig til neste blogg-innlegg.

Kjøkken!

Helga går alltid så fort, for det skjer som regel veldig mye på kort tid. Siden vi står midt i kjøkken-renoveringa, får jeg blogge litt om det. Det er litt av et prosjekt, søkte vel på lån for å pusse opp i september/oktober. Alikevel har det ikke skjedd så fryktelig mye enda. Siden jeg har bodd her i 6 år og ikke vært så flink å rydde ut av boden og sånnt, så blir det en del akummulert skrot. Jeg fant ut at jeg trengte en slagplan for å få oversikt over hva som faktisk måtte gjøres. I tillegg skulle jo kjæresten flytte inn, så trengte å gjøre litt plass til han og. Så planen ble seendes slik ut:

1. Rydde bod og gjesterom: Dette ble et hengerlass med skrot! Nå er det masse god plass i boden til å oppbevare kjøkkenting mens det pusses opp. Gjesterommet ble også gjort i stand så jeg og min kjære bruker dette som datarom der vi sitter vedsidenav hverandre på hver vår pc. (Veldig kos!) Benyttet også anledningen til å kaste en gammen skinnsofa som bare tok plass i stua.

2. Rive kjøkken (rørlegger påkrevd for stenging av rør): Det er her vi står nå, rør ble avstengt på torsdag, og vi lever nå som konger (papptallerkener og plastbestikk!) med bare vanntilgang på badet. Kjøkkenet skal rives i morra!!

3. Få skadedyrkontrollen til å sprøyte over hele kjøkkenet, for å være på den sikre siden.

4. Legge nytt gulv, male og evt ny vegg som må isoleres, samt div elektrikerarbeid som må gjøres før ting settes på plass.

5. Montere nytt kjøkken fra ikea, samt legge fliser på veggen.

6. Montere benkeplate med underlimt vask fra kvik (4-5 uker leveringstid!!) Her kommer også rørlegger inn, samt elektriker for å montere platetoppen og evt andre hvitevarer.

Da skal forhåpentligvis kjøkkenet mitt være klart for bruk og kakerlakkfritt! Gleder meg veldig!!

Slik ser det ut som jeg har tegnet det på ikea: Blir ikke samme gulv og vegg og slikt, og håndtakene skal være svarte.


Mitt drømmekjøkken!

My first blog!

I started to blog in norwegian some time ago, and have decided to translate it to english, so more people can enjoy my blog.

2010 was a special year for me. I started out single, fresh kickboxer and had the world before me. Suddenly I got hurt while kickboxing, and got chronic pains in my neck. I had to stop training and use all my money on therapy. I realise I can no longer do any contactsport again..
Nasty roaches!

Springtime came and I found visitors in my kitchen. Cockroaches!! The most nasty thing ever, and it would get worse.. It turned out they had come from my neighbour and when they redid their kitchen, the roaches moved over to my appartment over the airduct. The great battle against the evil roaches started, all the appartements in my part of the building had to get checked. I did not want to use my kitchen anymore, because I felt disgusted with all the roaches. So I turned to takeaway and fastfood.. (Can you imagine that combined with no exercise??)


Then summer came, and something happened that made 2010 my best year so far! I met my wonderful boyfriend! I have lived on cloud 9 ever since, and no stormy clouds in sight so far! With this positive boost in my life,  I gathered up strength to get a loan and get going with a total redoing of my kitchen!


My love and me! <3

So this is where I stand in 2011. The year I take everything lost back: My kitchen, my health, my appartment! I now live together with my dearest, and we will now start tearing the old kitchen down. I cant wait to get my new kitchen done, so I can start making a lot of delicious food. My boyfriend does not really have a clue to what I really can do in the kitchen, and I look forward to impress him a bit!
