The old house desperately needed a new staircase leading to the upper floor. (See why - photo below). So Bosse and Erik came today and brought in a new and definitely more practical one. (See below). When we were tearing down the old one, Bosse showed me the examples of various wallpapers he found in the house of the staircase.. I think I counted at least 10 layers of various wallpapers, qualities and patterns from about 1918 and onwards. I will save a few and hand over to the Gotland museum.. Pattern tresures hidden in the wall..
Leafing through the decades..
Changing tastes and fashions..
The Art Nouveau/jugend era personified!
A modern staircase arrives Monday morning..Yipee!
The old stairs.. 
My jolly carpenters, Erik and Bosse on the early Monday morning starting their daunting task..
