Thanks hsmom and Moonie for mentioning tree-farmers, I think we need to not create more unemployment or (for those of you against real trees) fossil fuel produced plastic tree's (which also use fuel voraciously in energy to produce them and to transport them to us if you are concerned about greenness - not to begrudge foreign nationals jobs of course).

And for those of us who don't live in houses planting tree's really isn't an option (though one could get a Norfolk Pine for indoors and decorate it) - I can't tell you how many tree's we used as erosion control at my parents place, who also planted a couple of small xmas tree's.

There is also a wooden alternative tree - from Minnesota of course - Possibilitree (not affiliated). http://possibilitree.com/

Er, yes, the extensions DO come in 15" width, for I have one which I purchased earlier this year. I'm just mad my width (like the 24"+/-) was discontinued..... Pretty nice hack too.

funstraw - I think you are right, I took a gander at the blog and it's more of a PR/'regular design blog' related to their professional activities/taste/etc. One of the entries was titled "and god created the Swedish man"...

From the description of the blog, I'd say they aren't really following it strictly.

That's actually a pretty cool diy - it makes it better than just buying one to me. I'm not particularly keen on these though - I don't really like seeing the bulb, and maybe remind me too much of 70's birdcage/shade frame lamps.

I had no idea those little tables stacked. I have one with a wood grain top, who knows where it came from...

I loved those Lundby dollhouses as a kid, tack så mycket Svensson! As a little architect the lights and furniture was so great (and I never had dolls either, just the house and furniture - in fact I built several dollhouses and cardboard houses).

@ Linky - only if they are hot water. If they are steam radiators, they need to be leveled and pitched correctly (or the valve cleaned or replaced) but some banging will happen when the system heats up from cold and hissing when air escapes from the valve. There's no bleeding with steam, in essence, they are self-bleeding.

Kelly - depends on what you have above them and if they are steam or hot water. Blocking the radiator could also be problem for heating performance.

Maps rock!

I think Sweden is about the same as Denmark, but Norwegians typically have larger houses - closer to Australian sizes.

I hope you aren't encouraging illegal acts here? I was really sick of fireworks, firecrackers and loud music by bedtime last night.
