As I’ve told you before; I love to get inspired by moodbords. Usually I make them on a table and take pictures of it, but this time I’ve made one using a canvas so I can have it over my desk. I used pins and tape to put everything on its place, this way I can easily change the moodboard if I want it to look different.

I’ve attached a wire to the canvas, so I can hang stuff that I find inspiring as well. The wire actually makes the moodboard more interesting I think.

Usually when I make a moodboard I follow a color scheme, but that isn’t necessary of course. There are no rules when it comes to moodboards. It’s just FUN and very inspiring!

I will probably fill it up gradually as I find more inspiring photos etc. But I think this is a good start.

Do you ever make moodboards? Do you put them up on the wall like this?

I’ve done some changes in my home office again, and this time I wanted it to be more feminine and bright. This is how it turned out…

An easy way to get a feminine look in your home office is to add feminine stationery with girly colors and patterns. Or you can even make a moodboard like I have done here with inspirational photos from magazines and other inspirational objects you love. 
Decorative notebooks and boxes will help the surface of your desk get even more romantic and feminine.
An old wooden crate for my favorite magazine is a nice thing to have in reach if I need inspiration.
As I told you in my previous “10 home office tips” post, flowers are a must in your office! They make it extra pleasant and they bring beauty and character to your room.
You can see more pictures of my home office here.
If you wonder how it used to look like, you can view it here.

Have you ever heard of the Danish company Oi Soi Oi? They are designing and producing interior designs, furniture, clothes and accessories and they are all made by hand in carefully selected workshops in Vietnam. For me it was love at first sight when I saw their newest collection…

“In our universe we aim to combine Scandinavian design simplicity with the rich craft heritage of Asia. Personal style is what inspires us. We use colours, materials and designs in a way that we hope delights and inspires our customers.” – Oi Soi Oi


You can view their entire collection on their homepage, if you like what you see.

Have you heard of this brand before? Do you like what you see?

Things are starting to fall into place after having packed up everything from our shipment from LA. It was quite a job, but it was great to see all our things again. I have missed many of the small details that made it homey in our apartment in Los Angeles, e.g my homemade “Home Sweet Home”- pillow,
sheep furs, my Coca Cola wooden crate, books, pictures etc.
Our sofa table and dining table has also been replaced with the ones we had before. They actually made the room a bit brighter, because this apartment really has its dark corners I´ll tell you!

Gotta have some snack while I´m redecorating, right? This was a gift from a very good friend.

Little by little our home falls into place. Currently, it seems a bit over-furnished, so maybe I need to get rid of some stuff or just get used to it *smile*
I´ll be back with some more updates throughout the week. Stay tuned!
Happy new week everyone!
An extra big thank you for all of you that leave me comments. It´s very appreciated, and I always love to hear what you think…

Hello everybody! How are you? It´s such a beautiful Sunday here in Oslo today and what could be better than having breakfast and a good cup of tea while the sun is flowing  trough the windows – I love it!
My “enjoy tag” is downloaded from Konfettiform. A nice detail that make the morning even more enjoyable.

Enjoy your day!
I will continue unpacking and getting organized…. So much to do.
