Staffan's brother Mårten is planning on selling his apartment that he has owned for over 10 years so to help him out we took pictures of his place wide angle and all to prep for the sale. Taking pictures in small places is rather tricky and moving furniture around is key to success as well as having a flexible wrist when you need to angle the camera in various ways. It is funny to move around stuff and stage rooms with fresh fruit and things that weren't there before but just dress up the place to make it more sellable. Good pictures can be the difference with so many people going via the internet to search for housing. It is also quite amusing at how you hide most signs of living when you are going through this exercise. Because the weather was so cloudy we were not able to get any outdoor scenes...but we tried our best.
Afterwards Staffan and I headed to IKEA for some cheap food and to look at very Swedish furniture. We found this cool bed that had a wood frame, but was covered in a foam and sort of felt-like material. So many of the beds that have low frames are wooden and me being so clumsy is very dangerous to have around. I would bump into it every 5 seconds if given the chance. So something soft with no hard corners is a godsend. And plus it is always fun to look at stuff.
