project new kitchen: day 9

sunday: slowly but surely things are coming together… the delivery with fridge and stuff decided not to show and linus and i had to drive to elgiganten in barkaby to talk to them and they could confirm something went wrong… so much for telling everyone that elgiganten is the best place to shop… they did however give me a refund on the delivery charge so i’m not too angry about it.

doesn’t the floor look just amazing? love it. the “white” is not as “yellow” in real life – just the pictures. as you can see though there are some open slots for stove and fridge.

now it’s time to head home to my little sick puppy and continue cleaning. there is dust EVERYWHERE in the apartment. for you who have renovated before knows what i mean. enjoy your evening wherever you are! (mom is still in china and linus has now arrived to gran canaria. me jealous? noooo….)

project new kitchen: day 7

friday and things are shaping up. wall is almost finished and the kitchen is starting to come together as well.

soon the fridge/freezer and fan will be delivered to the apartment. i can’t wait for it all to be finished so i can move back in.

ps: happy halloween!

project new kitchen:day 5 and 6

the boys had some radiator issues which set us back some in time (and cash) but martin is back on track now. wall is “built up” again, some cabinets are up and he painted at least parts. i’m sure he did tons of other stuff, but what do i know?

what i do know is that i finally ordered fridge/freezer, stove and fan. the struggle was to find pieces which were 50cm wide since the standard measurement is 60cm. so nothing fancy, but i’m satisfied and 11 000 kronor for all 3 seems like a reasonable price. linus did talk the salesman into a nice discounts so thanks to him for that (and for other things)!

gorenje fan

electrolux stove

candy freezer/fridge combo (you think it comes with all the ice cream in it?)

i just drove linus “downtown” and i’m mighty proud of myself. keep in mind that i have barely driven in 2 years and definitely not in stockholm. but i have to admit it was fun! now it’s time to watch some grey’s anatomy.

project new kitchen: day 4

tuesday and the door has been removed and the opening is getting enlarged.

i’m handling some anxieties at the moment and i really want to spend as little time as possible in the apartment. i’m just praying that the guys know what they are doing. but i’m happy hanging out in linus apartment at the moment!

tomorrow i’m hoping to buy fridge, stove and fan. hoping. for my sanity.

project new kitchen: day 3

monday: during my lunch hour i went to a store and bought my floor. like this (except i just needed 1 m2):

later we went a “last” time to the recycling station so now the kitchen is EMPTY! feels good.

and then… IKEA! everything was on stock so we filled up the car and unloaded in the apartment. hopefully martin the builder will start today. and this is what the kitchen will look like:

yes it’s smaaaaall, but i think it will be great! can’t wait to be able to show before and after pictures!

project new kitchen: day 1

to be able to keep track of the process i’ll make separate posts for each day.

start saturday: tearing down upper cabinets and getting rid of old fridge and oven.

Linus struggling with a kitchen which apparently was built to withstand wars

lots of trash to bring to “fraggelberget”

Totti as always very helpful

hello blog!

i can’t really blame the lack of writing on being busy, i guess i’m just not that into sharing stuff at the moment. but soon i have to show you how the apartment is evolving. i’m starting to see things happening…

but i made a little collage of the look at my place. maybe it gives you an idea.

now i’m heading to täby to look at a house. nooo not for me, for linus sister and family. enjoy your evening!

120cm “luxury”

well, it is for me! since december i have been sleeping on a 90cm wide bed and even though my new bed is nothing fancy, the 120cm alone makes it feel like luxury!

and can i tell you how cute my apartment is becoming? i feel so lucky. just a couple more pieces to finish up and i’ll be ready for the housewarming party which i have planned for *trumvirvel* FRIDAY! yup, dinner plans for friday fell through and i was like, what the heck? why not? Let’s just hope someone will come…

it has arrived (the sofa table)

however, the joy ended quickly when one of the shelves fell down… i better go and see my friends at claes ohlson soon. i just hope the other one doesn’t fall down in the middle of the night!

the winner takes it all

or wait a second… i didn’t win once! but it was still a blast.

total casual in trashed jeans and a white tee. speaking of trashed… check out the status of my apartment… i have to finish it up tomorrow since the sofatable will arrive tuesday morning!
