UPDATE #2 APARTMENT

08/05/2018

The first three hours of today I found myself rather apathetic in a deckchair outside in the sun, not capable to do anything. Last night I couldn’t sleep before I had written in the calendar on next Monday “my day, do what you want, you deserve it” and with a heart behind it. Selfcare, so damn hard the last couple of weeks. It pulls me down to have a tight schedule like this, it’s not good for my health. But the treat has been that the carpenters have made a hole in the living room wall in the apartment where I am to move, which means I’ve seen my to-become-kitchen and bedroom for the first time, and I managed to take four photos… Better than nothing! Here’s my update number one.

You know what, I have to admit it has stressed me not to share a post for many days. I love to share, you know, but life’s so overwhelming these days. You must be so tired of hearing of the sale of the house, but it doesn’t seem to take an end. Today there’s another photographer here to capture the outside of the property. And that’s the last photos before it’s out there for sale the 16th of May. I’ve spent more than thirty hours in the garden the last week, and I’m fed up. Like totally.

Well, above is one part of the room which are to be my bedroom. Looks very small, but keep in mind it’s about 3,2 meters to the ceiling! Here’s one of the best parts in the apartment: there will be very old, big and gorgeous rosettes in four of the rooms, goooosh!

The other end of my bedroom…. The brick wall is so thick that they suggested to make a shelve in this opening that are to be closed. Room both for the wall and a shelve. Might make a working station in this part of the room, but I don’t like to bring the iMac to the bedroom, so I’ll hang some kind of curtains in this part of the room so I can separate it when I feel like.

Love this thick doorframe so much!It leads into the kitchen, and the panels on one of the wall will hopefully be gone, and if not I’ll place a huge painting in front of it. There’s always solutions. Always. The window you can see is one of the three windows in the tower in the living room.

The kitchen will be up on this wall and the wall to the left. Behind me here there’s a window and room for a table with at least four chairs… Plants… A shelve… And some cool walls. It won’t be difficult to make this the dream place, and I feel seriously grateful for this apartment. I’m so glad I called the landlord when I did, months ago. At the right place at the right time.

One of the things I visualize quite often is people coming here for gatherings, brunch clubs, workshops and retreats. The apartment is obviously not ready, but I am – are you?? 😉

    Oh, it’s going to be so light, bright and beautiful! I cannot wait to see how you make it yours and all the good ideas you have come true. Right place, right time means it was totally mean to be. 😊

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
