A wooden house from Sweden on the German Baltic Sea | ARD Room Tour

Inga already had a special connection to Sweden as a child. With a Swedish wooden house, she and her family created their own little Bullerbü and brought a piece of Sweden home to the Mecklenburg Baltic coast. The family has been living in a typical Swedish red wooden house since 2017. The prefabricated house comes from a manufacturer directly in Sweden. The reason: “When we decided that we wanted to build a Swedish house, we realized that the wood that comes from Sweden is rough sawn. This means that it absorbs the paint very differently to the wood or boards that we can buy here in German DIY stores. The paint lasts longer in the wood and you don't have to paint it quite as often,” explains Inga. During the planning phase, Inga became pregnant with their second child, so they extended the Swedish wooden house a little. “We had walls moved, we had the whole house extended a little on both sides.” Within a few months, she was able to move in with her husband, her first daughter and the newborn baby. In total, the wooden house cost 350,000 euros, including the extension. With its classic veranda, balcony and white and red color, the wooden house is not only reminiscent of Sweden from the outside. Inga also continues the style consistently in the interior design. She gets hold of pictures, vases, chairs and even cupboards for little money at the Swedish flea market, the “Loppis”, during her summer vacation. Much to the chagrin of her family, however. “They are not always thrilled when I come around the corner with new knick-knacks and another Dala horse,” admits Inga. And it also gets cramped in the car when another piece of furniture has to travel home with her.The garden is particularly close to Inga's heart. “I just love being surrounded by plants,” she says, ”and it's also a wonderful balance to my work as a teacher, because I can find peace and quiet here and express myself creatively. I can play with colors, combine colors and have my little paradise here.” Inga is currently working part-time as a primary school teacher for art, English and music. She has made her love of flowers her second job. On her Instagram account @my_little_bullerbyn, she shares her ideas for flower arrangements, wreaths and decorations for inside the house. “I totally love changing things around here. Anything that I can somehow move, I've moved somewhere else. If the kitchen was mobile, I would probably have moved it somewhere else long ago.” Despite all the Swedish idyll, there is one fly in the ointment: “When we built the house, it was clear to us that we definitely wanted a balcony above the veranda. But it's not being used as much as we'd hoped because we simply prefer to sit out on the south side and look into the garden. If we were building today, we would definitely move this balcony to the back, so you can actually imagine we would turn this house around,” admits Inga. Nevertheless, the Swedish house on the Baltic Sea is exactly what Inga always wanted. “This wooden house is really what we dreamed of. It's rural, it's colorful, it's wild. It has grown piece by piece and it just stays that way. And this is our little Bullerbü, because we can do as we please here.”A film by Caroline Berends (editor), Tilo Burmeister (camera), Christian Milde (camera), Olaf Junior (sound) and Daniela Schramm-Moura (editor). 00:00 Living in a Swedish house 02:12 Guest bathroom 03:13 Study 05:10 Dining area and living room 08:09 Kitchen 09:19 Upper floor 12:24 Garden
