Table setting with summer feeling

TABLE SETTING WITH THAT SPRING/SUMMER FEELING…

A few days ago we celebrated our National day (17th of May) here in Norway, and with the wonderful weather we had, I sat the table out on our terrace. I went for a simple white, blue and light grey theme and used Lilly of the Valley as flower decorations. As a fun little detail I had tags on each napkin that say “HIPP” and “HURRA” (which are typical words we use a lot of on this day..)

But as you can see, this table setting can of course be used in other settings as well. Whether it is a birthday celebration, summerparty or whatever the occasion is. Just make tags with other words and use whatever flowers you have around.

Table setting tip of the week : )

A tip for the kitchen

DECORATE WITH PLANTS IN THE KITCHEN

I was telling you earlier this spring that I´ve wanted more green plants in my home, and one of the rooms that I´ve also have plants to add some color and life is in our kitchen.
I usually have herbs, but unfortunately they die in a few days. So I this time I went for a green plant that is much easier to keep alive. It´s growing fast as well! An easy tip to freshen up the kitchen : )

Another addition to our kitchen is the beautiful Bernadotte Thermos from Georg Jensen (adlink). I had this on my wishlist for my birthday, and my wish came true – oh, joy!

"Finding your place" by Nina Holst

Lately I´ve spent time on painting again, and I just can´t describe how nice it is to dissapear into another world where there is only me, my brushes and good music on my ear… Oh, joy!

If you remember my previous paintings, you might notice that they have a new look than before. I have been experimenting with some new techniques, and are quite pleased with the result if I may say so… : ) Let me introduce you to my latest finished work: “Finding your place” 1000x1200mm, and “Together” 1000x1200cm featured in my home.

If you are interested in buying, you can get more info about my paintings on byninaholst.com or send an email to byninaholst(at)stylizimo(dot)com

Getting the terrace ready for summer

This upcoming weekend we have plans on making our terrace ready for summer. With that I mean cleaning the floor and moving out the rest of the outdoor furniture. Since Easter we have had the lounge chairs on the terrace, so we have a place to sit when the sun is out. But the floor is very dirty after a long winter with lots of snow, so now it´s time to make it nice and clean. Can´t wait to walk barefoot on the terrace again!

Have you cleaned your outdoor area yet?
