Restored Farmhouse in Italy

Surprise! A second post for you today!<br />And you, my friend, and I, are in Italy now, just a few miles away from the city of Parma. Architect Lucilla Scazzi was in charge of the restoration of this home which used to be a rundown farmhouse with an adjacent barn. The barn is now a tearoom with a fireplace, and what used to be the stables is now the kitchen.<br /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>Huset utvendig er en blanding av naturstein og murstein, mens i den pussede delen er det sandstein.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_11.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>Stuen oppe med gulv i eik og rustikt bjelketak.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_66.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>De gamle dørene som er typisk for bondehus fra denne epoken, er flott bevart, mens gulvet som opprinnelig var av jord, er nå i malt betong. Her inn til kjøkkenet som er husets absolutte favorittrom.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_22.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>I taket på den gamle stallen som nå er kjøkken, ligger de gamle bærebjelkene åpne for å få den rustikke følelsen av tre. På kjøkkenet har Simona latt den landlige, rustikke stilen få dominere. Hun har brukt gamle jern- og trestoler fra hagen rundt det store kjøkkenbordet, og et britisk fuglehus i tre får stå på benken til pynt. Industrilamper og komfyr i stål gjør at det ikke blir for romantisk. </p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_33.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>Stuen nede med utsikt til hagen.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_55.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>På barneværelset til Aldo Maria har Simona malt en stor gren hvit og hengt den opp i taket. Den brukes til å henge opp bilder av alle sønnens venner i. Innehaveren selv koser seg med alle bamsene sine.</p>" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_99.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="<p>Himmelrik i himmelseng.
