First we had her grandmother’s old house totally renovated. Now Hilde Pernille Opseth pursue his passion for interiors.
At first glance it is not so easy to see that there live two small children in the house. It is clean, neat, appropriately dressed and delicately decorated in all rooms.
– Her friends my saying that I always have it that way. It is not entirely true. But I like to have it neat around me, I admit, says Hilde Pernille Opseth.
– We often huts of blankets and pillows around the house as well as Lego and other toys everywhere. But they never cared about “embellish things.” The clue is to clean along the way, so that it is not insurmountable. They are unfortunately not so good to clean itself, adds Day The facts brook, the man in the house.
He has done most of the renovation, while Hilde has claimed responsibility for the finish and decor.Frames, paint and spray
That it lives a family of four in a house on Haga in Akershus, albeit coming forward little by little.
Most conspicuous is all the framed photographs of Amalienborg (7) and Mie ( 4), including the wall along the stairs between the first and second floor.
– I’m very fond of frames, both new and old. It’s become a part over the years. And besides I am lucky that I have a handy man. He has made this great frame, says Hilde Pernille Opseth, and demonstrate the wide strips that frame the baby photographs.
Painting – or spray finishing – of objects is another of Hilde hobbies.
Candlesticks, lamps, frames, furniture and decorative articles are painted and sprayed. And many of the things are colored in several rounds.
– It’s fun to paint, and it’s very easy to paint again when you’re grown tired of a color. Now it goes much in black, often with high gloss, she says.
A wooden bench little sister has built one of the Hilde has painted in black gloss. The same goes for many of pictorial frames, and decorative things like a porcelain elephant. Original color was white with green, yellow and blue accents. Then the purple, and now it is therefore black.The family cat, one year old Olaf, is mostly black and some white. But it has been since it was born.

Mixer old and new
In the house almost every surface in every room got a coat of paint. The old wood floors in living room and bedrooms, there are special linoleum floor in the kitchen and new oak floors in the hallway and TV room are all painted in bright colors.
On one wall of the living room there is a velurtapet pattern painted in a light color, which makes the pattern gets an almost mysterious relief character.
Otherwise there are other interior details, both old and new, that catches your attention.
Fond wall with a photo wallpaper with a beautiful swan is a natural eye catcher.
The same is the three timber walls, which were freed from 50 years of existence hidden behind fibreboard. Now they’ve got a new era as a rough and white-painted touches in the dining room.
There are also several old furniture, such as a retro bookcase from around 1960, one at least 100 years old sideboard and a little younger front cabinets .
The former was purchased in conjunction with an estate, the last two are heirlooms. The old harmonizes well with the modern objects, the copper-colored pendulum lights above the dining table.
– I like to mix old and new. I have no particular style. It is in a way the gut feeling that govern what fits together. I go for what I think is fine, which naturally changes little from year to year, says Hilde.
A large renovation project
Hilde and Dag lived in Oslo a few years before they moved on land – to her home.
They have no regrets that they chose a far more rural lifestyle in Romerike. They ended up thrown in the accommodation Hilde grandmother had owned since it was built in 1951.
– We did not know what we were getting into when we acquired this house in 2006. We realized that it was necessary to refurbish most but it was more than we suspected. We have done everything and more, says Dag The facts Stream.With the statement “more to” believes he developed. Where is it now washroom, bathroom, office and a spacious entrance.
In addition, the pair including insulated exterior. Thus timber walls hidden in exchange for standing cladding of Siberian larch.
They also changed ceilings and windows, and threw out stub loft camp lay in the floor between the first and second floor.
The couple chose removing the internal stairs to the basement and put the new staircase to the first floor.
Besides the aforementioned wooden floors and logs in the living room had come to light, and then been plastered and painted. Otherwise all other rooms in the old part of the house also received a thorough overhaul.
– The worst projects are done. Fortunately, noting Hilde Pernille Opseth.
