Redecorating My Place - Built in 1840
Now that I’ve come to terms with the fact that I can’t travel every second of my life, I decided to do some changes in my crib! Redecorating is always fun.
I’ve been back in cold Norway for a week now. It’s been as cold as minus ten degrees here. And I’m not loving it.
When it’s to cold to eat ice cream outside, I get upset.
I’ve decided to give my home a more grown up look. I want to paint the walls in darker shades (not 50 shades darker and not grey), buy a new sofa and throw out some old junk.
Look at my guest room. Completely empty and ready for paint. I’m turning it in to a dining room I think. And I’m choosing a dark blue color for the walls! Suggestions are welcome.
I also got rid of this 100 kilo heavy thing! It probably makes no sense to get rid of it this time of year in Norway, but I did anyway! It was taking up a whole wall, because it was placed in the middle of the wall.
I’ll probably put a big shelf on this wall, but for now it will just look stupid with a table and a chair! 😂
I’m also upgrading the living room! I’m not a fan of the all white anymore!
The kitchen is okay, but I will paint the floor. I hate this floor so much and I’ve hated it since I bought this place twelve years ago.
Some before pictures:
My bedroom
The hallway is pretty dull!
And the bathroom needs some changes! But I’m not getting rid of the bathtub!
I’m so excited to start this project. A friend that’s an interior architect (if that’s even a word in English) is going to help me pick some nice colors and decide on a new sofa and bed.
The house is pretty old, it’s built in 1840...
So I’m definitely going to pick a style that fits the house! I will be posting updates along the way.
Wish me luck.

Blir spennende å følge med på hvordan det blir da @Susanne.
Men, må jo si at det ser ganske så bra ut nå :)
Hva er det som gjør at du ikke skal reise så mye lengre da?
First of all, awesome place. I think the 1840 feel is awesome with all the brick walls and the woods. You definitely should decorate this in a way that suites your kind of person. What kind of pictures do you like. You said you could travel any second. What places have you been to?? How bout starting a mini gallery with your amazing wall space?? Your hallway would definitely come to life with large frames hanging on each side and a chandelier overlooking them.. I think your kitchen is nice. You could an awesome comfy rug and a special antique sofa to your living room..Also invest in curtains. They make a place look a bit more prestigious and chic . I am no pro designer so I hope to see what you come up with..cheers
Wow! Even before the redecorating part I think your place looks awesome. That wooden floor looks beautiful and I like the 'bare' bricks walls a lot. Good luck redecorating. I'm curious for the result!
Thank you. I guess it's a good starting point. I love the old floors as well, not the one in the kitchen, but everywhere else. And the bricks really gives the place some soul. Not sure what I'll do about the hole in the wall that leads to the chimney, but I'm sure I'll figure something out! :p Thanks for the upvote and the reply!
I agree, that old brick wall is gorgeous!
Good luck! Skal du gjøre det selv?!!
I like all your plants. Your place looks great. Even better I am sure after redecoration.
thank you for sharing @susanne
<3 Love your place! would love to visit sometime to see the result.. !!
Sometimes a person needs to change some things in his life. Changing the decor of the house and decorating it brings joy and comfort to the person.
I really liked your wonderful home and decor. Really nice pictures. I like roses that are everywhere.
This change reflects the strength of your personality, loving change and love of life.
Thank you dear @susanne for everything you offer

Nice place worth visiting
