Queen Anne Style – The Queen Anne was one of the most important house styles in the 19th and early 20th century. These houses were popular in England from about 1860 to 1890 and a bit later in the United States. These houses made use of turrets, oriel windows and many other medieval influences. They were popular with lumber and railroad barons. Queen Anne’s were often quite large and impressive. Common elements included steep roof pitch, towers and turrets, long and narrow windows as well as covered porches that wrap from the front around the side of the house.

The Cape Cod – These simple and charming cottages were very popular during the early part of the 20th century. These cozy looking homes feature a rectangular footprint but incorporate a steep gabled roof. Cape Cods were often quite plain and were popular with young couples. The Cape Cod style was often commonly used for vacation homes as well. These houses were very affordable and were built in great numbers during the depression. A few common elements of a Cape Cod are: a single bedroom on the first floor with additional ones on the second, a small roof overhang and gabled dormers.

Tudor and English Cottage – These styles were quite popular from 1915 to the early 1940’s. The Cottage is still a popular style today. These houses have a cross-gabled roof that incorporates a very steep pitch. They often have decorative half timbering with tall slender windows. The Tudor and Cottage both have a very big chimney that is often decorated. They can be sided with stucco, stones or even clapboard. The siding will often depend on the area of the country the house is located in. These are very distinctive houses and this style has enjoyed many years of popularity. A few common elements would be: Many of them are one and half stories high and feature cozy irregular shaped rooms.

Split Level – These houses are sometimes called raised ranches and were quite popular in the 1960s and 70’s. It made excellent use of interior space and was a considered a very efficient design. A half staircase would lead to the upstairs bedrooms while another half staircase lead to the lower level, which housed the family room and laundry area. There were many variations but these elements were quite common: Low pitched roofs and deep set eaves along with a asymmetrical façade were common outside elements while an open floor plan was common on the interior.

There were several things that we put back the day after … Among other things, lots of food. Sweets, cakes, fruit, sandwiches and these beautiful cupcakes’ene. As with everything else, I know how I want it. And these were just cupcakesene as desired. Beautiful and romantic in soft pastels. And quite amazing in taste!

The highlight of the day was definitely the ceremony in the church and shoot on the beautiful beach and pier at the beach Rosfjord.
The atmosphere and setting was just unforgettable!

After waiting a beautiful room with hvitdekkede round table and chairs with white chair covers, big romantic wall stickers on the wall with the words: Grow old along with me – the best is yet to be,
candlesticks of silver, poor man, girl kiss and heart candy in bowls from Madame Stoltz, dozens of bouquets of roses, Memory Lane, romantic small gifts to all guests, silver candlesticks femarmede candlelight + +.
Some will probably say I was crazy with all that I put in this room to get it as perfect as possible, but it was really worth it! Down to the last penny and minute! It was just as carried out as I wanted it …

I can reveal that there is a large and elegant house in true Swiss style. House has a footprint of about 180 square meters and two storeys with a hip roof – gable roof is not really typical of the original Swiss style.

This picture gives a small indication of how the house will look like. Both the front and back, we have chosen a large porch / branches / veranda buildings, like this picture. Our house will be slightly higher than this foundation and a small frontporch on the back at the entrance.
The front will have a large and sunny terrace on the first floor, which extends beyond the lawn.

The house also has hip roofs and large, high windows in the second floor – in contrast to this house.
There will be many white tofløyde interior doors in the old style, several of the rooms are located in the file, and it made room for both the stove in the living room and an open fireplace in the kitchen.

Are there others who wish to build a similar house I can recommend the following websites:

However, I have picked birch twigs and found the easter egg I won at Anette House last year. I do not think it’s that bad considering that my health is worse than ever and my wedding is only three weeks away! Whew!

I actually struggled with sinus infections since Christmas, and all pencillinkurene have put the entire immune system and especially the stomach completely out of sorts – so there is nothing seriously wrong. The whole thing is just really annoying not to mention tiring and painful!
But I bet now that I’m on the mend!

…. and it is wonderful! On the veranda the temperature reached 20 degrees this afternoon. But as it blew a gale, and then some outside – I kept myself indoors. Which suited me so well, since this is the first Friday in a long time that I have not been sick or had errands in connection with the wedding. It is actually nice to just relax completely. Not having anything on the agenda!

The other day I ordered some beautiful wreaths from the store, beautiful home – I have not regretted a second. They fit just as well because here in the window, as I had hoped for. Wreaths are genuine and are made so that they will stay for long. Something I really hope they do.

Ps: As you can see, there’s a new button, Swiss Villa, the menu bar. That’s because we finally started building houses. At least the paper brass (among other things, my sketches become real hustegninger). More Info. comes later!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND ALL TOGETHER ♥
