On the eve of the Old New Year, we invite you toa cozy house where everyone would want to celebrate this holiday. A solid fireplace, wooden floorboards, stonework, lots of amazing things with history — there are still many interesting things here. There is a good tradition in Russia — to celebrate the Old New Year. And we simply could not pass by this cozy house, which has settled in a wonderful festive mood. Its owners themselves — a married couple Eva and Ake Söderman (Eva och Åke Söderman) — were engaged in its decoration. And even though it is located far beyond the borders of our country, namely in Sweden, it is filled with coziness — and what else is needed on such an old and good holiday?! Eva and Ake Söderman (Eva och Åke Söderman) Eva and Ake have been together for a long time. They raised and educated three sons — Eric, John and Donald. Eva works as a teacher in a secondary school. Ake works in a law firm. Eva is interested in painting and cooking. Eva and Ake live with their beloved cat, Elfie.
A house you want to live in
Eva and Ake bought this house five years ago.At that time they had their own house and they were not going to change their home. But when they saw an advert for the sale of this house, they immediately became interested and wanted to see it. And when Ake first climbed the stairs leading to this house, he thought that he should stay here. From the very first minutes of their stay in it, the spouses understood that this place should become their family nest. The total area of this house is 200 square meters. It is located in the Swedish province of Dalarna, and its windows offer a wonderful view of Lake Siljan, which, by the way, was formed as a result of a meteorite strike. There are also several guest houses on the site, where Eva and Ake happily host their children. Their house was built back in 1930, this fact initially attracted the spouses, as they love buildings with history.
Pieces of history
Our heroes got the house with furniture andsome interior items. The owners decided not to get rid of them. Firstly, because these things are part of the history of the house, and secondly, because they gave the interior a special coziness. For example, Eva and Ake inherited a cast-iron stove and a vintage oven from the previous owners, which Eva treats with special trepidation. She loves baking and even collects Christmas cookie cutters. The stove and oven in this design reminded her of her childhood, of how her mother cooked on almost identical devices. Some of the furniture was still bought by Eva, and not just in furniture stores, but at home sales. The owner of the house believes that in such a vintage setting, new furniture would look simply ridiculous. In her opinion, at home sales you can sometimes find antique exclusive items. Mostly all the furniture here is wooden, some is painted, and some is varnished to emphasize the beauty of the wood.
What is the secret of coziness?
Eva can be called a real keeperhome. She was the main decorator and decorated the house with her own hands. She is interested not only in cooking and baking, Eva loves sewing, embroidering and making decorative items with her own hands. Her young cat Elfie always helps her with everything, who shows great interest in everything and loves to study the world around him. Decorative pillows, chair covers in the dining area, curtains and New Year's decor - all this is the work of Eva. By the way, pay attention to how attractive the Christmas trees from old magazines made by Eva look. By the way, we recently wrote about how to make the same Christmas trees with your own hands. You can read about it and watch . Our opinion: - Traditional Scandinavian carpets play an important role in creating coziness here. They are everywhere, even in front of the entrance to the house. And in winter, they are supplemented with sheepskins, which Eva places by the fireplaces - there are two of them in the house, and on the bench in the hallway. Perhaps this is a tribute to Scandinavian traditions, or perhaps a natural desire to make your interior warm and cozy.
