This challenge made me think about how many of these squares, triangles and angles we find in an ordinary house – in this case an old cottage, a ”Blekingestuga”. For more on this theme – click here.
In the tiny rooms of this particular cottage, everything from ceiling to floor seems to be made up of these angles…
Miss Jenny Samuelsson from Kuggeboda, Blekinge, gave this cottage to the museum – now to be visited by everyone coming to their garden.
From the outside you can see the tinyness of this cottage – a remembrance of how poor people used to live in the old days.
Turning my lens to the modern buildings just some 50 metres from this cottage – the houses still have these angles and squares …and colours. A brilliant merge of old and new architecture.

You certainly nailed triangle. What a lovely little cottage. Perfect for short people like me !
He, he I’m not very tall either…
5 determined feet I am 🙂
This is a most picturesque place!
It is, yes, I adore those little cottages. You almost touch the ceiling and the homely atmosphere is tangible.

Thank you!
Very beautiful. I missed your new posts in my reader 😕
Oh, well, now I’m leaving for Scotland and will not be back for a couple of weeks again. Hopefully with new and interesting photos!
Oh Ann Christine just who wouldn’t love that little cottage ! What a neat row of houses too .
Well, it’s lovely indeed – and they stay with the tradition in Ronneby, I love that.
I love this old cottage with its hairy grass roof 🙂
It’s so sweet, isn’t it. And everything is made by hand.
Sometimes we just have to open our eyes to the details and beauty staring us in the face. These are lovely photos.
Thank you! A simple life – the simple things are almost always the most beautiful ones…
Vilken bra idé med de geometriska figurerna i byggnaden! Fint hus och trevliga bilder.
Det var svårt att komma på något nytt, men vi hade precis besökt museet och jag tänkte faktiskt på geometrin här.
Det syns!
A great choice Ann Christine. Lovely view over the rooftops.
And yet they are newly built. I like the way they try to not break the style here…Thank you!
So perfect Ann-Christine – creative way of imaging describing the challenge words!
Mary, what a lovely comment – thank you!
What a lovely post, A-C!!!! I remember you post about this little cottage … today rich people would pay a lot for this cottage. Have a lovely weekend.
You too! This is not the same cottage, but they are really look alike!
Okay, I thought it same. Learn something new everyday.
I love all the angles, and the little cottage is gorgeous. I like the way the fabric is attached to the ceiling.
Yes, the fabric. I’m not sure why, but I guess for warmth and decoration. Women’s work during the long winter months.
Very cosy house, very homely too. Looks like a lot of the stuff is made by hand. But I could be wrong 🙂
You are so right. Everything is made by hand. Cloths and furniture – many hours’ work.
Wonderful study of all those things !!!
You are back! How it makes me happy to hear from you again! I haven’t been here much lately either. No connection in our summer house. Now I’m leaving for Scotland Wednesday.
You damned globetrotter, Ann Christine ! [grin]
I should LOVE to have visited Scotland – wonderful country of history and wild beauty …
Here’s hoping you get time for lots of photos and reportage, my dear !
Hope you’ve managed to write as much as you wanted. I’ve read your story now…just wonderful and so filled with the two of you. And You are You, and your life with Chic is extraordinary in so many ways. The love that emanates from every page..
I’m writing a Swedish review of it. I’ll show you when it’s finished – if you want me to.
OF COURSE I DO !!! – I can think of few things as much fun as seeing a review of ATLMD in another language !
And it will be posted here, if you don’t mind …
He, he – you’re the commander…
😮
;-D
Hope you had a great time in Scotland! 🙂
I most certsinly enjoyed every minute of it!
This is so and precious and I love the red!
I love it too! The red is so typical Swedish cottages. The paint came from a mineral in a mine called Falu copper mine. It works preservingly on the wood. It even works preservingly on humans…A visit to that mine will tell you the story of a young man who died down there and was found many years later – all in one piece. Looking alive.
You have sum fun photos for squares and angles. Thanks for playing. 🙂
Thank You!
