ENG: Polly Line wanted a house, but hadn't found the perfect one yet. Instead she bought a small Lundby prefabricated house in which she could live while searching for the house of her dreams. It was a bit oldfashioned, with small paned windows and dated wallpapers and exterior, but Polly Line painted both the interior and exterior walls white and replaced the living room window with a larger one with a nice view to the patio. She was quite pleased with the end result!
NOR: Polly Line ønsket seg et hus, men fant aldri det perfekte huset hun ønsket seg. Istedet kjøpte hun et lite ferdighus fra Lundby for å ha et sted å bo mens hun lette etter drømmehuset.
Det var ganske gammeldags, med smårutede vinduer og utdaterte tapeter og fasader, men Polly Line malte både utvendige og innvendige vegger hvite og erstattet stuevinduet med et større vindu med fin utsikt til terrassen. Hun ble ganske fornøyd med sluttresultatet!
ENG: To the left: The living room door is also updated.
To the right: This window Polly Line kept unaltered.
NOR: Til venstre: Stuedøra har også fått en oppfriskning.
Til høyre: Dette vinduet beholdt Polly Line som det var.
ENG: Here is the house before the restoration. The picture is from the Lundby company's homepage.NOR: Her er huset før oppussingen. Bildet er fra Lundbys hjemmeside.
Credits: The house is a Lundby Småland extension floor. The pavement are coasters from a second-hand store. The back wall of the patio is an Ikea soap dish and the other wall is a wooden table mat. The door handle is made of tiny beads.

Så flott det blir.Likte spesielt godt uteplassen. :))
Brilliant! I look forward to seeing how Polly Line furnishes her house.
I thought at first you had made the little holes in the back wall, to put up wires to train a plant over. Then I realised they were already there! I would never have known what the paving and walls were originally.
SO COOL! I love Polly Line's house! I want to live there :)
Ich bin total begeistert, was für eine tolle Behausung. Ich hätte die Zusatzetage auch gern, um sie allein aufzustellen. Aber mein Zimmer ist schon zu voll. So habe ich gestern das Bushaltestellenhäuschen weiß gestrichen, aber die Acrylfarbe deckt nicht richtig. Welche Farbe hast du denn genommen? Und hast du das große Fenster selbst ausgesägt?
Das Terassenfoto ist so lebensecht, Wahnsinn!
This revamp rocks!
Takk Rita! Jeg ble ganske fornøyd med den jeg også :-)
Thank you Rebecca! Polly Line is quite eager to move in, so I hope it won't take too long before she's settled in :-)
Thanks callsmall! You're most welcome, but I must warn you, two rooms aren't a lot of space to live in :-)
Danke Oese! (I must write this in English, too much for me in German)
I have loved using the extension floors, since they can stand alone or on top of another when I need more rooms, because they come ready wired and because I can't saw a straight line!
I used a knife to cut the hole in the wall, it took a while since it's hard plastic, afterwards I painted it using three coats of the same oil paint I used for the wooden walls in my daughters room, the first was a base coat that sticks to anything. (I painted the room and the house at the same time :-)) Then I glued a sheet of clear plastic to the outside of the wall as a window before I covered it with a precut exterior cardboard wall in the same shape as the interior wall, also painted white
LOL! Fancy someone already wanting to live in Polly's empty house! She must be a really "hot" designer. But I think I know what Callsmall mean. Your photography is great, Helene, it makes the whole place looks realistic, like it is a cubist home in a field . The sunshine too makes the "house" look warm & cosy and full of potential, even without any furnishing.
Ha, ha, thanks Modern MC!
The patio is fantastic and the house looks great too. Much more modern. :)
Thanks Sans, Polly Line loved to hear that :-) She just hope people won't be disappointed seeing the house after it's furnished and with all her knick knacks!
Thank you Julianna!
I'm quite pleased with the patio myself :-)
Me parece fantastica como ha quedado la casa, Pero... el jardin maravilloso.
Thank you Carmen, I'm glad you liked the garden :-)
I have also another house like this, without any changes made to it :-)
Gracias Carmen, me alegro de que te gustaba el jardín :-)
Tengo también otra casa como esta, sin ninguna modificación hecha a la misma :-)

It looks beautiful in all white! and very contemporary! I love the large window! and the patio! and everything! I had to do a double take because it looked so real! you've done a brilliant make-over :)
Thank you so much Natalie!
