    Those beams up in the attic, I have watched great-grandmom as a child dry the traditional clothing and socks. It is so original, what a stroke of luck no previous owners spoiled it! And all the little properties along it, your own place when your kids are there, are just lovely. Friends to come over. It sounds good, Benita. Especially as you talk about restoring. You won't live there permanently, so all will be doable. I lived in a 400-year-old home, always something to do, and I know you love that. It was so much better build than my current 75 -year-old house.

      The original details in Benita's new house are fascinating! (I loved, for example, the floral paper in the back of the pantry, and the cool kitchen cabinetry. We had 2 pull-out bins in our 1940s kitchen when I was growing up, but we were told they were for flour and sugar, not firewood. Not sure that was correct as that would've been a LOT of sugar, particularly! LOL) And I find it fun to return to older ways of living from time to time. It's refreshing, somehow.

    • @tinekejoldersma
      @tinekejoldersma 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@denverdubois5835 Flour, yes, it was for flour. Sugar was indeed not in a cupboard, mice and other pests could get in too quickly. And way too expensive. The flour was used in large quantities, as the bread was homemade and baked, and other food was prepared. Bread was used with all meals. The flour came from different sources, so different pull-out cupboards. Modern life can be a curse and a blessing. The speed is too high, but the fact girls can go to schooling, not married off at 13, etc., is a blessing.

(I was imagining how I'd use the rooms and spaces.) I truly admire your intention to restore not renovate, employing the DIY skills you've honed over the years.

    Love, love, love the stuga! It looks quite similar toour home, including being a combination of two different timber buildings. Our home has more mod cons, but sadly a lot of original details has been lost to «renovation» in the 90s. We’re looking to put some character back. So I’m looking forward to following along with your projects! Best luck and well wishes going forward!

    Oh, Benita, I LOVE your new house! It's so old and beautiful. Your distinction between "restoration" vs. "renovation" makes me very happy. It breaks my heart to see all the character and history stripped out of the old houses I adore. Can't wait to see the projects you'll undertake here! Huge congratulations, and I wish you lots of luck! Oh...I come from California, where timber or wood frame homes are standard for various reasons (including earthquakes, obviously) so it's funny to realize that they can be a novelty to people in Europe. The smell of old wood in a nineteenth century house is one of the best smells I've ever experienced. Here they were often made out of redwood--just the thought of how vintage redwood lumber looks and smells makes me smile. Cheers!

    What an absolute gem! You are a girl after my own heart. It's so hard to find houses that are still intact and not remuddled. My thinking exactly. What great features. I wish I could give you a hand. windows are my specialty. We've lived in a 1915, a 1930 and a 1790's. Currently renting in a small 1750's while we look for something, hopefully early 20th century.

    Early in our marriage, my husband and I owned a house that we never found out the history of, but was obviously not built originally as a home. The exterior walls were 15" thick brick walls. It had been nicely restored, so we didn't have to do anything to add mod cons. But we decided to tear out a downstairs closet and found to our amazement that it was built using square nails. A sign that the building was very old. Congratulations on your purchase. It has a lot of potential. And I love the red and white colors. Very beautiful.

    I love it. I think you are quite right in renovating rather than stripping everything out and taking away the character that caught your imagination in the first place. As long as it is wind and water tight you can do any work over a period of time. Kitchen cabinets look in good condition and as they are made of wood can be stripped and repainted easily. Floor boards look in a pretty good condition as well. Only modernisation I would want might be solar panels or wind turbine if possible.
    Hope you will all be very happy there and keep us up to date with renovations.
