Favorites around the house

Tuesday February 4th, 2014 by Nina Holst in Interior

Sharing a few photos from our living room today, well actually a few favorites of mine… I´m really into tea at the moment, and this teapot and cup follow me whether I´m in the office, kitchen or living room – so beautiful and practical! By the way, any favorite teas to recommend, maybe? I also love my lovely “Chunk” candle holder, designed by Andreas Engesvik for Menu, in marble and copper. A Christmas gift that is very much appreciated and well used – thank you so much!

A newcomer in the house is my Ficus Ginseng tree which I really hope I can manage to keep alive(!) I find its shape really beautiful and I like the freshness this plant give to our DIY customized bookshelf.

What are your favorites at the moment?

A lovely home for sale

Sunday February 2nd, 2014 by Nina Holst in Interior

It´s not often I see beautiful styled homes for sale here in Norway, but this apartment in Oslo really stands out! It´s the lovely home of talented and sweet Marianne Haga Kinder, the PR Manager at Home & Cottage and also one of the girls behind Inspirasjonsguiden.

I really love the warmth and personality that shines through in this apartment. A mix of styles, lots of contrast and different textures makes it a very interesting and beautiful home.

Soft grey works perfectly together with beige, and provides a calm atmosphere in the bedroom. Notice the mix of materials; sequins, lambskin, velvet and linen – this is what makes the room look interesting and stand out. That bed looks very comfortable too, don´t you agree?

If you like what you see, or even better; if you are looking for an apartment in Oslo, you have to check out all the photos over at Finn.no. Let me know what you think!

Lyst på bladet Design Interiør?

Thursday January 30th, 2014 by Nina Holst in Interior

Redaksjonen i Design Interiør la merke til at jeg skrøt av forsiden til magasinet på Instagram her forleden og ønsker nå å gi Stylizimo Blog sine lesere et kjempebra tilbud på et årsabonnement! Sånt liker vi, ikke sant?

Design Interiør tilbyr nemlig nå et 1 års abonnement (7 utgaver) til kun 199,- (fullpris er vanligvis 595,-)

Du kan enkelt bestille med SMS ved å sende ABODES6 til 2205 ( 3 kr pr sms )

Jeg har vært fast abonnent på bladet lenge og liker at det skiller seg fra andre interiørblader jeg leser ved at det i tillegg til spennende boliger står også mye om god arkitektur, både i det private og offentlige rom. Denne måneden står det for eksempel om en Sushi restaurant her i Drammen hvor jeg bor, og det er jo selvsagt ekstra gøy.

Ellers synes jeg det er mye bra lesestoff om både produktdesign, mote, grafisk formgivning, kunst og kultur – så her får du bra påfyll av både kunnskap og inspirasjon. Helt topp spør du meg!

Er dette noe du også kunne tenke deg å abonnere på, bør du gripe sjansen nå! Eller kanskje du allerede abonnerer?

(Innlegget er laget i samarbeid med Design Interiør / The offer is only for people living in Norway).

Stylizimo.com in Norwegian

Wednesday January 29th, 2014 by Nina Holst in Uncategorized

We are continuously working on improving Stylizimo.com, and one of the things we have looked at is making it easy for people to use. Even though we have simplified the design, it was still only available in one language. Since Norway is one of the bigger markets for us (and since we speak the language ourselves *smile* ) it was the first language out. Therefore, good people of Norway: We are now happy to announce that you with a click of a button can switch Stylizimo from English to Norwegian. Oh, and if you wondered, we are only changing the text – the good content will still be the same.

To change the language, just click on the flag icon in the top menu:

Easy fix for structured walls

Tuesday January 28th, 2014 by Nina Holst in My Home

Before we started to build the new walk-in-closet, I had to do some groundwork with the walls in the room. We had this old-fashioned wallpaper with structure ( glassfiberstrie ) that I have been wanting to do something with since we moved in 2,5 years ago, but I´ve put it on hold as I thought it was too much work. Then I heard about this wall-renewer “Nyans Cover” from Storeys that is like a thick wallpaper that would cover up our structured wallpaper. PERFECT – this was exactly what I needed; an easy fix!

I´m used to wallpapering walls but was curious how it would be to use this thick wallpaper. Surprisingly it was very easy to apply, and since there was no pattern to take into consideration it was actually done in a few. When I was done, I painted the wallpaper with only one coat of white painting ( since it was already white ). Knowing how it easy it was to do, I have to admit I regret that I haven´t done this sooner… so typical *smile*.

Anyway, I know there are a lot of you that have this type of old-fashioned wallpaper and might want to replace it with a smooth surface. Therefore, I wanted to share this “wall-renewer” with you so you know that there is an easy solution for your old structured wallpaper. Tip of the day!

You can find more info about the product over at Storeys.
