Lotta's house decorated

Last summer I wrote a post about a homemade house which I got from a friend of mine, Lotta. Then it was empty. But today I will show you what I have done with it so far.


I still don't know how old the house is. Except from the little room to the right on upper floor, I think the house is from the 1950s or earlier. I have chosen to decorate it with a mix of furniture which are rather old, but I don't know how old for most of them. Some of them are homemade and some probably made in factory. They have all one thing in common, I like them. 


We start the house tour in the bedroom on upper floor. The bed is so nice. I think it is homemade. In the back we can also see a cradle with a baby. In the right corner there is a table which I am going to complement with a mirror if I can find any who fits. 


The second room on upper floor is actually two rooms. The little one in the corner to the right I think is built in the 1970s. I have chosen to have that room as a guestroom. In the bigger part of the room there are armchairs, a desk and a bookshelf from the 1950s, factory made. The sofa to the right is a sofa bed. As you can notice the scale is not the same on all furniture but  I think it is charming. 


Downstairs to the left there is a kitchen. I got the cupboard and the sink-stove combination by mail just some days ago and I think it went out very well in this kitchen with those items. I have also recently put up the curtains which is older ones. The red pram missed a lot  when I got it, for instance have I put on wheels.  


I funny thing happened when I put up the clock on the wall. It is made of tinplate and it started to go. The pendulum on the clock went all by itself from one side to the other for quite some time. When I had it laying in a box with other stuff it has been quiet and still.   


The last room for today is the living room. The sofa set in the middle is homemade but I love them. The house has also recently got a fireplace, probably homemade and some cupboards and a radio. The clock on the cupboard to the right is home made and very good made.
