New ceiling light in the kitchen

Today we have been running around in construction and interior design stores, together with the rest of the Stockholm population, it feels like. We went to IKEA ... phew, what a pain to get through that store on a Saturday! We found nothing there, but in another store we made a really good find. It was a new ceiling lamp!

New wallpaper and new tiles in the kitchen

Now that we have heat in the boat, we can start focusing on some other things! We have wallpapered and started tiling in the kitchen. We've never been fond of white (even though we know you HAVE to like white), so the white walls are going away. We have wallpapered with a black and silver wallpaper with a high-rise motif.

New ideas for the kitchen

The kitchen was the room in the entire houseboat that was most prepared and most modern when we moved here. Many parts of the boat are original from the 1930s, but the kitchen was recently renovated. The previous owner had also chosen nice colours and nice appliances, we think.

New interior design features

Everything we build in the houseboat takes time. First all the decisions to be made, then all the materials to be purchased... and then the labour. But slowly, slowly, we move forward. Here you can see some of the new interior details of the weekend.

New on the lower deck

We've come a long way with our work on decorating the lower deck of the houseboat, where we have a bedroom, exercise room and walk-in closet. And now you can find out what we were going to do with all the laminate flooring we bought. We covered the walls with it! Then Peter bought hand-forged nails (!) that he put up to give it a solid old boat feel.

LED lighting outwards from the houseboat

There is nothing wrong with imagination when my husband is on the move. What is going on here then? Well, you might wonder ... Peter likes lighting and there are many places to light up a boat, not only the roof and walls but also various small nooks and crannies. We are currently in the process of replacing all the lights with LEDs to save energy.

LED lighting in the houseboat

We are gradually replacing all the lighting in the houseboat with LEDs. Electricity will be one of the major costs here, especially when the cold weather arrives. At least being able to light up the boat without having to worry about power consumption feels good. The LED lights are expensive to buy, but it feels like it will pay off in the long run.

New flooring - parquet flooring in the bedroom

Now we (read Peter) have laid new flooring in the big room on the lower deck, which means that we have parquet flooring in the summer room. At least it's almost done - just a small corner left as it turned out that we need one more package. Peter has laid many many floors in his life, but he says this was by far the worst.

New in the bathroom

After the weekend's construction in the houseboat, you might want to see some results? We have, among other things, modernised the bathroom. The old sink was so narrow that it was difficult to reach to wash. We have now installed new bathroom furniture with a new sink and a new mixer tap. We also bought a new toilet seat.

New furniture in the houseboat

Yesterday we bought some new furniture for the houseboat: a rattan sofa group. We have planned to have a living room at the top of the boat, and then it can be good to have some furniture ... Right now the room is quite small, but when we rebuild, it is this room that will be larger.
