Villa Bellevue: From autumn to spring
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2016/10/from-autumn-to-spring.html
Saturday, October 29, 2016. From autumn to spring. Just outside our kitchen entrance, for several years, it has just been autumn. Our railing just kept dropping leaf after leaf, especially during the worst storms. Overview over the railing. We have lost a couple of leaves, or around 30. We had though a small jar that had fallen as well. It was time to take action! So, of course, we are not blacksmiths as well, hence we hired one for the job ( http:/ ferrumkonstsmide.se/. The missing piece of wood. And no...

Villa Bellevue: November 2016
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2016. Despite the large amount of space the cats gained when we moved from the apartment, Pico has never been enjoying being "locked" down on two floors during night. The choice has been forced on him, because during night, if he sleeps with us, although the doors are opened, he starts to scratch nighttables and random doors because he wants to be accompanied down to eat food. At first, in order to prevent him to do so, we thought to put a newspaper on the side of the doors. One o...

Villa Bellevue: Bookshelf saga
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2016/11/bookshelf-saga.html
Monday, November 21, 2016. From our empty wall. We have made good progresses. But it has been a painful road. Despite all, we are quite satisfied of the final result. We start with June. When we finally got the first part of the bookshelf mounted. This implied few days of a carpenter home with us (almost literally) mounting the pieces together. PIcture by Gunilla Carsten. Wood strips. Picture by Gunilla Carsten. Bottom is put together. Picture by Gunilla Carsten. What's that grey stuff? Basically, our ca...

Villa Bellevue: March 2015
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Finally the bloody lamp is up! My first post in years. I'm so busy putting up lamps that I never manage to blog. ;-) /Mattias. Posted by Mattias Wallergård. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The Edler family - part 2. As usual, during this meetings, there was so much to say and ask from both parts and in my enthusiasm, I forgot (as always) to take a picture with them. They were kind enough to bring some pictures with them and I did managed to find some answers I had been searching. I stil...

Villa Bellevue: January 2015
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. Yesterday, I forgot to add to the collection a very much desired Christmas present. A couple of books which I have been asking Mattias as present since we went and visit Sofiero. A couple of years ago. The books are written by Princess Margareth of Connaught, known in Sweden as Margareta. She became interested in gardening once she got Sofiero as wedding present together with her husband, Gustav VI Adolf. The two books. "Our garden in Sofiero"( Vår Trädgård på Sofiero). So far...

Villa Bellevue: Apples, apples and more apples (and plums...)
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2016/11/apples-apples-and-more-apples-and-plums.html
Tuesday, November 8, 2016. Apples, apples and more apples (and plums.). This year we have just had abundance of all sort of fruit. First it was black and red currants, with gooseberries. They are all frozen and await to be cooked somehow. They had to wait, because while we were at it, we were covered by plums - that got transformed in plum jam. The first apples and the last plums. All apple trees, even the ones that never get sunlight or are half dead, decided to produce a quite good quantity of apples.

Saturday, January 2, 2016. During the autumn, we have spent some sleepless nights during some storm. The kids have woken up mainly because the doors have been lightly slamming due to the wind. Additionally, through some side garret there has been, especially in Oscar's room, quite some draft. Fixing the flax cord on the door. There are many ways to do this. I chose to buy some flax cord and apply it with a staple gun to the door. Now, we have to see if this has really improved the situation or not. Our e...

Villa Bellevue: Always something to fix
http://villabellevue1910.blogspot.com/2016/12/always-something-to-fix.html
Saturday, December 24, 2016. Always something to fix. Every time we do something in the house, a part getting thousands of ideas more of what we can do, we also get some sort of side issues. Thinking of the bookshelf, there was paint, shelves, the broken keys and now doors that do not close anymore. But without having some major situation like that, 95% of the time we commission a job, it ends up that we have some ripple effects job to fix when it should be done. So, they had to come back and fix it.
