<\/center><\/p>\nDon\u2019t be fooled by the idyllic picture. It is just for showing off. This was taken the one sunny day we had on our trip to Norway this year, if fact that was the one and only day I wore my newly bought swimming suit throughout our holiday. So in stead of the usual photo round-up about where I\u2019ve been and what I\u2019ve done I thought I would tell you guys about our summer house on a tiny island in the middle of Norway.<\/p>\n
Obligatorisk idyllisk lurebilde. Dette ble tatt den ene soldagen vi hadde p\u00e5 \u00e5rets tur til Norge, faktisk s\u00e5 er det den eneste dagen jeg fikk brukt min nyinnkj\u00f8pte badedrakt i l\u00f8pet av hele ferien! S\u00e5 i stedet for den vanlige fotosamlingen for \u00e5 vise hvor jeg har v\u00e6rt og hva jeg har gjort s\u00e5 tenkte jeg at jeg kunne fortelle litt om sommerhuset v\u00e5rt ytterst p\u00e5 den n\u00f8gne \u00f8.<\/em><\/p>\n The house was built in 1914 by my husband’s great granduncle and -aunt, and was the main building of their small farm. In 1948 the farm was taken over by their son and his wife, and they continued running the farm together, in addition my husband’s granduncle was working as a fisherman. The house contains a lot of memories from this time, there are several photos of fishing boats and of the granduncle together with his crew, I tried to take some pictures of the photos but unfortunately they didn’t come out very well. However I did manage to take a picture of a photo of the house it self, I\u2019m not sure when this was taken, but the house looks pretty much like this today. At the beginning of the 1960ies the granduncle and grandaunt moved to the nearest city, but continued to use the house as a holiday retreat. After her husband died it was the grandaunt and her brother who kept spending their week ends and holidays in this house maintaining and taking care of the building, until they passed it on to my husband and his brother, a few years ago. Huset ble bygd i 1914 av min svigerfars grandonkel og grandtante, og var hovedbygningen p\u00e5 sm\u00e5bruket deres. I 1948 var det deres s\u00f8nn og hans kone som tok over driften av bruket, i tillegg til at han arbeidet som fisker. Huset inneholder en rekke minner fra denne tida, det er flere bilder av fiskesk\u00f8yter og min manns grandonkel sammen med arbeidskameratene sine. Jeg pr\u00f8vde \u00e5 ta bilder av disse fotografiene men resultatet ble ikke s\u00e6rlig bra. Derimot s\u00e5 fikk jeg tatt et bilde av et fotografi av selve huset, jeg er ikke sikker p\u00e5 n\u00e5r dette ble tatt, men det er ganske likt slik som huset st\u00e5r i dag. P\u00e5 begynnelsen av 60-tallet flyttet min manns grandonkel og grandtante til byen, og de brukte n\u00e5 huset som feriehus. Etter at hennes mann d\u00f8de, fortsatte grandtanten og hennes bror \u00e5 tilbringe ferier og helger her ute med vedlikehold og omtanke for det gamle huset, fram til de igjen ga det videre til min mann og hans bror for noen \u00e5r siden. Our hallway furniture. The lamp, shoe brush, mirror and dresser look like they all belong together as parts of a set, all in teak.<\/p>\n Gangm\u00f8blene. Lampa, skob\u00f8rsten, speilet og kommoden ser ut som om de h\u00f8rer sammen i et sett, alt sammen er i teak.<\/em><\/p>\n Our seating area. Everything wood is teak, it doesn\u2019t show really well in this picture but the tabletop is made of four rectangles making laid so that the three rings form a diamond shape. The table also has two sliding plates hidden under the main top, which is used to extend the size of the tabletop. The fabric and trimmings on the chair and sofa are original.<\/p>\n Sittegruppa. Alt tre er teak, det vises ikke s\u00e6rlig godt p\u00e5 dette bildet med bordplata best\u00e5r av fire rektangler som er lagt slik at \u00e5reringene vises i et rutem\u00f8nster. Bordet har ogs\u00e5 to skyveplater gjemt under bordplata som brukes til \u00e5 forlenge bordet. Tekstil og dekor er orginalt.<\/em><\/p>\n We have several of shelving modules like these, again all in teak, with cabinets and without, and plenty of shelves to go with them.<\/p>\n Vi har flere av disse reolmodulene, igjen s\u00e5 er alt i teak, med skap og uten, og mange tilh\u00f8rende hyller.<\/em><\/p>\n Now, I know what this item is. It is the stereo receiver I got for my husband as a birthday gift some years ago. I tell you; this is not your \u201ceveryday\u201d receiver, this is a S\u00f8lvsuper 11! These were made by Tandbergs Radiofabrikk (Tandberg\u2019s Radio Factory) in 1971 and are apparently one of the best receivers ever made. The exterior is teak and aluminium. To this day the sound is amazing!!!<\/p>\n N\u00e5, denne vet jeg hva er. Det er stereo forsterkeren jeg ga mannen min i bursdagsgave for noen \u00e5r siden. Og la meg fortelle deg at dette er ikke en hvilken som helst forsterker, det er en S\u00f8lvsuper 11! Disse ble laget av Tandbergs Radiofabrikk i 1971, og er visstnok en av de beste forsterkerne som er laget. Eksteri\u00f8ret er i teak og aluminium. Lyden er fremdeles fortreffelig!!!<\/em><\/p>\n A few of my favourite items! The iron is heated by heating the rock in a stove before placing it inside. This must be really really old huh?<\/p>\n Et par av mine favorittsaker! Strykejernet varmes opp ved \u00e5 legge steinen i ovnen f\u00f8r man s\u00e5 legger det inn i strykejernet. Dette m\u00e5 jo bare v\u00e6re steingammelt?<\/em><\/p>\n This tableware has coffee cups, saucers and plates (picture is missing the saucer). I\u2019m really curious on these, as the stamp on the back says nothing but that they are made by Porsgrunds Porsel\u00e6nsfabrik (Porsgrund Porcelain Factory), no year or specifics or nothing.<\/p>\n Dette serviset best\u00e5r av kaffekopper, tefat og fat (p\u00e5 bildet er ikke tefatet med). Dette er jeg virkelig nysgjerrig p\u00e5, stempelet bak avsl\u00f8rer ingenting bortsett fra at serviset er laget av Porsgrund Porsel\u00e6nsfabrik, ikke noe \u00e5rstall eller andre spesifikasjoner.<\/em><\/p>\n Another tableware, this has plates and dinner plates. I believe these are from France, any thoughts?<\/p>\n Enda ett servise, dette best\u00e5r av fat og middagstallerkener. Jeg tror disse er fra Frankrike, noen som har peiling?<\/em><\/p>\n The stamp on the back of the French tableware.<\/p>\n Stempelet bak p\u00e5 der franske serviset.<\/em><\/p>\n Nothing knitting related in this blog entry I\u2019m afraid, in fact I gave my self a knitting prohibition this holiday, my sore shoulders really needed a break. But one of the treasures we found that I was most excited about, and I guess all you fibre enthusiasts will join me on this one, was this wool blanket, and we have several of it\u2019s kind. Again I have no idea of when it is from, but I\u2019m really impressed by the colours wondering what they used to dye the wool, the colour hasn\u2019t faded at all through the years.<\/p>\n Ikke noe strikkerelatert i dette blogginnlegget er jeg redd for, faktisk s\u00e5 ga jeg meg selv strikkeforbud hele ferien, de s\u00e5re skuldrene mine fortjente virkelig en lengre pause. Men en av de skattene vi fant som jeg er mest begeistret over, og jeg tror nok andre fiberentusiaster ogs\u00e5 vil \u201cta\u201d denne, er dette ullteppet og vi har flere av samme slag. Igjen s\u00e5 har jeg virkelig ingen anelse om n\u00e5r det er laget, men jeg er virkelig imponert over fargene og lurer p\u00e5 hva de brukte for \u00e5 farge ulla, fargen har ikke falmet gjennom \u00e5renes l\u00f8p.<\/em> <\/p>\n An old Singer sowing machine (non-electric, handle driven). I guess if I looked for it I would find one of those small plates somewhere telling me the production year and item number, but I didn\u2019t, maybe some of you knows only by looking at it?<\/p>\n En gammel sveivdrevet Singer symaskin. Hvis jeg hadde lett litt regner jeg med at jeg hadde funnet ei s\u00e5nn lita plate med opplysninger om produksjons\u00e5r og \u2013nummer, men det gjorde jeg ikke, kanskje noen av dere vet dette bare ved \u00e5 se bildet av den?<\/em><\/p>\n And at last, the lamp! There\u2019s no plastic here, all wood, hard metal and porcelain. Og til slutt, lampa! Ikke no plastikk her i g\u00e5rden, den er laget i tre, metall og porselen. So it is that time of the year again where the blog has been dead quiet a while and I\u2019m about to tell you what I\u2019ve been up to this summer. Da er det den tiden p\u00e5 \u00e5ret igjen, hvor bloggen har v\u00e6rt stille en lang stund og jeg er i ferd med \u00e5 fortelle […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[141,40,41],"tags":[144,42,135,136,137,134],"class_list":["post-630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-design","category-family","category-norway","tag-family","tag-holiday","tag-retro","tag-scandi","tag-scandi-design","tag-treasure-hunt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=630"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":637,"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/630\/revisions\/637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maya-b.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/maya-b.com\/blogimages\/bloghouse.jpg\")

\nWhen we took over the house it was completely filled up after long lives spent there. Our time spent in the house has mainly been focused on trying to make it our own, and when two families with five children all in all are supposed to use it we need room, so there has been a lot of clearing out. But as soon as we got rid of something, more and more treasures appeared. After living in London for a while I have witnessed the enormous hype of the \u201cScandi Retro Design”, but not until this summer did it occur to us that we are practically living in a Retro fantast\u2019s wet dream! And so I though I would show off some of the interior in our house, and having no knowledge of these items my self (except from that I think they are mighty pretty) I would really appreciate if some of you with know how could leave me a comment telling me if you know anything about them. So sort of a picture round up this year as well.<\/p>\n
\nDa vi tok over huset var det fullstendig fylt opp etter lange liv tilbrakt der. Den tida vi har brukt i huset har s\u00e5 langt g\u00e5tt med til pr\u00f8ve \u00e5 gj\u00f8re det til \u201cv\u00e5rt eget\u201d, vi er tross alt to familier med fem barn til sammen s\u00e5 da trengs det plass. Men etter hvert som vi kvittet oss med noe dukket flere og flere skatter opp. Etter \u00e5 ha bodd i London ei stund har jeg f\u00e5tt med meg den enorme trenden rundt \u201cScandi Retro Design\u201d, men ikke f\u00f8r i sommer gikk det opp for oss at vi bor jo i en retrofantasts v\u00e5te dr\u00f8m! S\u00e5 derfor tenkte jeg at jeg ville vise frem noe av interi\u00f8ret i huset v\u00e5rt, og siden jeg ikke vet noe om disse tingene i det hele tatt (bortsett fra at jeg syns at de er fine) s\u00e5 hadde jeg satt stor pris p\u00e5 om noen av dere som kan noe om skandinavisk design og kanskje vet noe om disse tingene kunne legge igjen kommentarer til meg her. S\u00e5 en slags fotosamling blir det jo allikevel.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/maya-b.com\/blogimages\/bloghallway.jpg\")

\nAlmost like a treasure hunt no? Again, if anyone knows anything about this stuff I would really appreciate some feedback. Please leave comments here, as much as I love twitter and facebook I would really love to have all the information gathered here, so I know where to find it…
\nAnd just to mention it at the end, you might blame me for going quiet like forever, but you can\u2019t say I don\u2019t make an effort. I think this is the longest blog post I\u2019ve ever written!<\/p>\n
\nNesten som en skattejakt ikke sant? Igjen, hvis noen vet noe om tingene her s\u00e5 blir kjempeglad for alle tilbakemeldinger. V\u00e6r snill \u00e5 legge igjen kommentarene her inne, for selv om jeg elsker twitter og facebook aldri s\u00e5 mye s\u00e5 ville jeg virkelig like \u00e5 ha all informasjonen samlet her, s\u00e5 vet jeg hvor jeg finner den…
\nOg bare for \u00e5 nevne det s\u00e5nn avslutningsvis, du kan kanskje klandre meg for \u00e5 forsvinne i en liten evighet, men du kan ikke si at jeg ikke gj\u00f8r en innsats. Jeg tror dette er det lengste blogginnlegget jeg har skrevet, noensinne!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
