THE PROJECTS OF 2016
Another year has passed, and it´s always fun to look back at some of the projects that have been done in the house. Mostly as a reminder for myself since it is so easy to forget everything that has been done, but also as a summery of the year 2016 here on Stylizimo Blog.
The first project in January was renovating the guest room, and we painted it in a perfect blue color (picture above).
Then we replaced both the stairs in the house, which made a huge difference! You can see the before & after pictures here.
We also changed the fronts and added a marble top on our IKEA Bestå in the living room. Find more info about the Superfront upgrade here.
Our bathroom got a little makeover until we have the money to renovate it. It´s amazing what some painting can do! Find before & after photos of the bathroom here.
In July I shared before & after photos from the house outside. Once again painting can do wonders!
Right before summer started, we got the glass railing fitted in the front of our new built terrace. It became very nice!
Another outdoor project was the DIY outdoor sofa out on our terrace. My favorite spot this summer for sure!
In August our bedroom got an upgrade with this super cool clothing rail. I love it!
In September I painted our hallway in the beautiful color LADY Cashmere.
The day after our kitchen got a makeover with a new color and a few changes as well. See more photos from our “new” kitchen here and here.
Some of the walls in the living room got a new color during autumn as well, and the bookwall/picture wall got a new look.
I also bought some curtains on budget to soften up the living room a bit. With the big windows it can easily seem cold and naked in the winter, and this upgrade certainly helped.
In November I did an IKEA bookcase hack, and painted it in the same color as the grey corner you see above. Finally a place for books etc.
Last project in the house was the new color downstairs where I have my office space. I´m so happy with this grey/beige color instead of the white that we painted when we first renovated down here.
So as you can see, there have been a lot of projects going on in the house during 2016, and I wonder what 2017 will bring.. : )

Hey Nina, i love to get some inspiration from your blog. I’m from germany and a “silent reader” most of the time. Because of your blue walls in the guest room, i painted my working space in a similar colour and it turns out so great. But i am not sure which colours to combine, or how to decorate. Could you show some ideas? It would help me a lot..
Thank you for your hard work and your beautiful projects!
Greetings from germany
I really like how the bathroom turned out!! 🙂 what color did you use on the counter top? It really looks like concrete! Did you use primer first, on the counter top as well as the cabinet doors..? And finally, did you paint inside the cabinet as well? Sorry for all the questions, I’m just thinking of painting my bathroom as well as the cabinets are all white (and starting to become yellow-white) 🙂
Really love your renovations of 2016!! You have such amazing taste! Happy New Year!x

Helt fantastisk vakkert og lunt hjem du har! Kan jeg spørre hvor de vakre spisestuestolene er fra? 🙂
Tusen takk for det, Therese! Stolene heter Y-stolen og blir produsert av Carl Hansen & Søn. Jeg har kjøpt mine på Verket Interiør, men forhandles i mange butikker rundt i Norge. mvh Nina
Hi Nina! Thank you for a very inspiring blog! I love your style. Since I´m about to paint an old bookcase, I was wondering if you might tell me which color (name, number and brand) you have used for your IKEA bookcase above? It´s just so beautiful. Thanks in advance. All the best from Denmark
