Today its been studies all day. And some time to just relax, decorate the house and enjoying the day. Finally some tomtegröt (porridge). In old Sweden, porridge was often put out for the house elf at Christmas (he looked like a smal gray santa). ✨

In nordic mythology, the house elf is a small being that looks like an old man with a long beard. They are usually dressed in gray and have a gray or red beanie. House elves are strong and good at work. They live close to people, usually in a stable or a barn, but sometimes in the same house as the people. A house elf is grumpy and doesn't want to be seen. But secretly he keeps track so that the people are kind to the animals and take care of the farm in a good way. If the people take care of themselves, they can get help from the house elf with many of the chores on the farm, and the elf creates security on the farm. But if the people, for example, don't give the animals enough food, they can suddenly get a kick in the ass, or an slap from someone they can't see. Then it's the house elf who is on the move and wants them to tighten up. A house elf can be several hundred years old and usually stays on the same farm for several generations of owners. Elves are basically quite friendly and caring creatures, as long as you don't annoy them. To show appreciation and keep house elf happy, people could set out a dish of porridge with a dollop of butter in it on Christmas Eve. Then the house elf was happy. ✨

A translation from Swedis radio, allways loved folklore.

Snug in the old-fashioned sense of the word, the kitchen has more breathing space than normally found in small houses. Extra-wide doorways lead to the dining room, easing the way for food transportation and movement of furniture. Similarly, French doors allow extra light to shine into the woody room, and the terrace becomes an outdoor dining or sitting 'room' when weather permits.

We love conversions and this one in Kriebsensgatan 16A, Sweden, is a townhouse in the former 1929 building that was built for activities of The Knights Templar. Now, that's unique, and several of the original features are still intact. It has 3bds, 2ba, SEK 8,975,000 / $871,958.

Lovely original entrance hall to the unit. Note the original doors.

Inside you will find a large living room.

And, look at the pocket doors revealing a mural of the Knights Templar symbol.

Bedroom #1 has some funky art.

There's quite a large dining room.

And, a nice kitchen with an original cabinet.

Up a few stairs is a pantry.

Stairs to the 2nd & 3rd bedrooms.

The room has a lovely alcove.

The 3rd bedroom is a little smaller, but it's nice and makes a good guest room.

And, look at this- the meeting hall is still intact, with the built-in benches, and balcony.

And, at the other end is a stage with the symbol.

Here's one of the baths.

Huge light and bright basement has a kitchenette and lots of potential.

The unit also has access to a lovely gated courtyard and parking.

Some original plans.

Fascinating cultural mini study going on as more than one person seems to have had the immediate thought that whipped cream = probably from a can. I take it siphoned or somehow ready made whipped cream is the usamerican standard whereas in Sweden the obvious first thought is you took "whipping cream" (approx. double cream in the UK, idk about US dairy terms) and... beat it with a hand mixer.

#i kinda knew about this before but i still find it neat to see it in action #also swedish cream is generally unsweetened #i saw someone going 'you can make whipped cream at home??' once and I'll never forget it #wanna be SUPER CLEAR I'm not being salty or sarcastic here i think cultural differences are fun and cool

A corner fireplace in the small drawing room of the eighteenth-century Swedish manor, Hople Herrgard, has a stone mantel and a panelled chimneypiece fitted with a narrow rectangular mirror. The sofa is set back against the wall in the typical eighteenth-century arrangement.

The Fireplace, 1994
