  Description

  Dear beautiful people!
  
  We’ve been so fortunate to inherit this beautiful former community house in the heart of Småland from our parents. Now my brothers and I are working to make it our own, renovating, painting, repairing and decorating the place in a more timeless northern style - minimalist but hygge :)
  
  Looking forward to meet reliable people who enjoy working with their hands, community and nature. In your free time you can explore the gorgeous Swedish countryside, go for hikes, kayaking, hunt for mushrooms and berries, use our ping pong table and the sauna, make a campfire or just chill at a lake or in a hammock in our garden. It’s a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the mystical Swedish landscape.

  I need help wallpapering, dragging the stairs and wooden veneers inside the house and painting the walls, stairs and veneers. Also there might be several creative smaller projects, like building shelves and decorations from natural materials, f.e. from the birch trees from our garden. In the garden I need help with mowing the lawn, cutting back trees and bushes. Also, in case I thrift some bigger furniture, I would need help picking it up and bringing it back home.
  
  We will probably go to some thrift markets… so if that’s something you enjoy, you are also welcome to join. If you bring some knowledge or experience in manual crafts, that’s awesome, but if you are just someone who works well and with attention to detail that’s perfect as well, because most of the work doesn’t require any or much experience. There are some smaller different tasks, that we can decide to take on or not, depending on our shared skills and time schedule, like replacing our old sink in the kitchen, applying new lamps in the house, attach a dishwasher to the kitchen… there’s plenty of things to do. We will be working mostly together or split tasks in a way that everyone feels comfortable :)

  Hébergement

  You will have your own separate room. It’s a beautiful and big room with a wooden floor, big windows to the south and the east and three separate beds. Unfortunately, at the moment, I don’t have any photo at hand, but it really is nice, spacious and has lots of natural light. You can get bedding and towels from me. We have a washing machine, living-room, kitchen, bathroom with hot water, a sauna and a big hall for ping pong, yoga etc. We will share the rest of the house and garden.
  
  I will provide tasty, healthy and rich vegan meals, coffee, tea and snacks. Gluten-free is also no problem (let me know).
  
  My house is meat-free. If you want vegetarian extras I would kindly ask you to get them yourself. Thank you!
  
  If you’ve read until here and agree with the above, please write “hygge” in your application.

  Autres infos...

  Our house is in the countryside. The next city and supermarket can only be reached by car. I have an electrical bicycle that I can lend you to get to the lake and the small grocery shop in the village, but it’s not super safe on the dirt roads. So I can pick you up from the train station and also go with you or drive you to the lake on the weekends or I could also borrow you my car if I don’t need it that day, but if you want to be fully independent it would be best if you came with your own.
  
  If you come with your own car there are plenty of day trips that you can go on in Småland.
  
  As mentioned, my house is meat- free and the food I provide will be very tasty, but vegan. Please only come if that’s something you’re into. :)
