Four Country Homes

Today we will have a look at four country homes through the lens of photographers, André Rider, Angus McRitchie, Michael Graydon and Stacey Brandford. My favourite home is the one captured by André Rider, though I'm also swooning over the Belgian style dining room by Stacey Brandford. I'd love to know which home you like best! <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="430" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/Tawes_VerA-015_SUP_HH_OC08.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Stacey Brandford <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="535" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/Tawes_VerP-010_SUP_HH_OC08.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Stacey Brandford <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="582" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/Tawes_VerH-022-F_FPO.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Stacey Brandford <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/Alan-de-la-Vigne-exterior.jpg" title="" /> Michael Graydon <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="533" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/273-00154_SUP_HH_FE10.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Michael Graydon <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="568" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/273-00200_SUP_HH_FE10.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Michael Graydon <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="380" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/Lakeside-exterior.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Angus McRitchie <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="605" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/I_DSC8288.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Angus McRitchie <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="619" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/L_DSC8324_SUP_HH_APR08.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Angus McRitchie <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="380" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/Second-Nature-Exterior.jpg" title="" width="450" /> André Rider <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="661" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/IMG_8702_SUP_MD_MY10_SE10.jpg" title="" width="450" /> André Rider <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="576" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/IMG_8799_SUP_MD_MY10_SE10.jpg" title="" width="450" /> André Rider <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="583" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/IMG_8849_SUP_MD_MY10_SE10.jpg" title="" width="450" /> André Rider <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="380" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/1021589/PMH-Exterior.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Michael Graydon <img alt="" class="imagecache imagecache-photo" height="675" src="http://houseandhome.com/sites/houseandhome.com/files/imagecache/photo/top-images/galleries/37/MichaelGraydon.Apr10.jpg" title="" width="450" /> Michael Graydon All images from <a href="http://houseandhome.com/">here</a>.

House of the Year 2009

As you might know, Norwegian Magazine Bolig holds a contest each year to choose the best house of the year. In 2009 the winner was this country house in Hokksund. It consists of three buildings: a main building from 1889, a brewery and a barn. In 2006 the Kvernstad family restored and renovated all three of them. Perhaps my Norwegian readers could help me with the translation of the words and signs that appear in this house. Please? I did use an online translator but unfortunately they are still quite unreliable. <img alt="" src="http://server1.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218760/0/500/620?78977bc1f3bd1d730b5ef0bfdbf99d823ef32886" style="width: 620px; height: 686px;" /> The main house <img alt="" src="http://server2.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218768/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" /> The barn which is now used to hold parties. <img alt="" src="http://server2.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218759/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 550px; height: 565px;" /> <img alt="" src="http://server0.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218757/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 550px; height: 632px;" /> <img alt="Re: table in the dining room is made from an old door with a table leg from another table. The chairs were found in the barn and pulled about, and the plates are found in attics and basements. The couple had a low budget when they renovated, and has achieved so much on their own." src="http://server3.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218756/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 549px; height: 682px;" /> <img alt="" src="http://server3.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218762/0/500/620?78977bc1f3bd1d730b5ef0bfdbf99d823ef32886" style="width: 550px; height: 735px;" /> <img alt="" src="http://server3.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218761/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 550px; height: 699px;" /> <img alt="" src="http://server1.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218764/0/500/620?78977bc1f3bd1d730b5ef0bfdbf99d823ef32886" style="width: 549px; height: 645px;" /> Does the wording at the top of the stairs say something about coming home? But of course, it's French and it says "Just like your home" Thanks, <a href="http://lachapstickfanatique.blogspot.com/">Chapstik Fanatic</a>! <img alt="" src="http://server3.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218765/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 547px; height: 743px;" /> <img alt="" src="http://server1.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218763/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 547px; height: 652px;" /> "Kisses and Hugs and Love" Got the top sentence. Help with the one below? Thanks to reader <a href="http://nordman.blogspot.com/">Krn</a> I now know that the headboard says (not in Norwegian, but Danish) "Kisses, hugs and love, it is the world's glory" And Krn expands: "Written language in Norway in the 19th century was the Danish language. This is not surprising to see this on an old norwegian bed." <img alt="" src="http://server0.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218766/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 547px; height: 680px;" /> <img alt="" src="http://server0.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218767/0/500/620?78977bc1f3bd1d730b5ef0bfdbf99d823ef32886" style="width: 545px; height: 713px;" /> This is the inside of the barn. Rather dark I guess. <img alt="" src="http://server3.static.wa.supportingservices.dk/image/218769/0/500/620?8dd626a6abc5f33b7f05f9610328ef074a8dc322" style="width: 544px; height: 685px;" /> Part of the guest house.

Living in the Suburbs

Morning, morning. Another beautiful week to look forward to. My daughter is coming to visit us tonight and is staying for a week so I'm all happy and excited. That is if the Chilean volcano ashes are good enough to blow elsewhere and let her plane take off this time. Her flight last Friday was cancelled. So, keeping my fingers crossed so that she will be able to fly tonight, I leave you to enjoy this home in the suburbs in Spain. The first photographs show the rooms and the last part are close ups of some of the furniture. <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/var/elmueble/storage/images/casas/urbanas/un-estilo-de-vida/una-entrada-triunfal-y-en-blanco/una-entrada-triunfal-y-en-blanco/una-entrada-triunfal-y-en-blanco-foto-2/66212-1-esl-ES/Una-entrada-triunfal-y-en-blanco-Foto-2_large.jpg" style="width: 515px;
