We went to Visby today while Haylie was at her Aunt Camilla's house and baked ginger cookies (pepparkakor) and hung out with the big girls. We picked out our bathroom tile. Brown floor, brown shiny glass mosaic as an accent for the shower, and white walls for the main bath. Beige floor, white walls, and white tile with a floral pattern that is shiny as an accent. Strange for me, no loud colors. But tile isn't so easy to replace, so I will have to save my colors for textiles and wallpaper. And the doors. Stefan called me at work to tell me that they were installed on friday. I asked him how they looked, and he said "They are...........green." A colleague at work, Åke, also said "It's.........green." And my work friend Ullis said "They are green. And by that I mean green." So I guess it is a consensus. I am thrilled by the color though. When the wood around them is stained teak brown this summer, the contrast won't be so sharp and it will look great.
The flooring for the common areas is on the left. They will put it in during the week.
The laundry room door. Guest room on the left and guest bath on the right.
Laundry room
The wood-burning stove is in place, but the chimney isn't completely installed yet. We had gotten a grey one by mistake so they had to wait for the right one to come. They will install the rest this week, then we can start to use it soon after.
The guest room. The bedroom floors in Oak are now in place, with a shiny finish as the picture shows. The Ash floor in the other rooms has a really matte finish.
Our bedroom.
