In the meantime...

I am still planning to renovate the cottage! In the meantime, I have been busy traveling and finishing other projects. We just returned from Scandinavia where I spent some time visiting my grandmother's birthplace on the Hardanger fjord in Norway. This is her church in Strandebarm, right on the fjord.

Every village in western Norway seems to have a mid-nineteenth century church and some still have a a pre-reformation stave church next to it. The later churches were added to accommodate growing populations.  There are 28 stave churches left in Norway and this one in Borgund is one best.

I will add more trip photos later. Off to work on the cottage!

  2. Loi, you would love Norway. So beautiful you can hardly imagine it. Natural and pristine. I don't have a lot of pictures. And most of them are of food. But I do have a few more to post.

    1. Thank you for reading my blog. I think everyone in the design blogosphere is one or two degrees of separation from Loi Thai!
