My spring balcony
Tuesday March 29th, 2011 by in Outdoors

Now that it´s getting warmer outside, I´ve moved some of the furniture I have used inside out on the balcony so I can enjoy the sun. Since we are only renting for a short period of time I find this as a good alternative, and shows that you don´t necessarily have to spend a lot of money to create your own cosy little place in the sun.

The flower is a gift from a dear friend. A hint of color is all I need to get in spring-mood…*smile*

Wish you a wonderful day!

Hübsch – candy for your home
Monday March 28th, 2011 by in Uncategorized

There´s this Danish company that I got my eyes up for lately called Hübsch. They have the most wonderful collection and every picture in their inspiration gallery is real eye candy. I haven´t heard of them until recently, but now I´m in love… Let me introduce you to their spring 2011 collection:

So what do you think? Do you like what you see?
Does anyone know if they have a dealer here in Oslo, Norway btw?

Happy new everyone!

Table setting – Welcome friends
Thursday March 24th, 2011 by in Interior

On Tuesday I had some girls over for dinner, and I snapped some photos of the table setting before they arrived. I added some extra details to the table so they would feel welcome and to create a good atmosphere. I love to set a pretty table when I have guests over, even though it´s only a regular weekday and tacos is on the menu. *smile*

I made a welcome card that I placed next to the wineglass using black cardboard and DYMO tape, and around the cutlery I knot a loop of twine.
I added white flowers and some pastel blue-turquoise napkins to make the table look fresh.
These pictures are my contribution for Nille´s table setting competition. Read more about it here. (In Norwegian)
You can view more photos of the table setting here if you like. 
I would love to get some more ideas on how to set the table for later occasions, so if you have any pictures of table settings that you want to share, please upload them on Stylizimo.com so we can inspire each other.

Spring on the balcony
Wednesday March 23rd, 2011 by in Outdoors

Now that it´s getting warmer outside I automatically start thinking about the outside area. Many of us only have a little balcony and although it´s small there are a lot of ways we can decorate it. I´ve gathered some alternatives that might give you some inspiration…

 
 

Flowers and some lovely pillows really do wonders to both small and larger places.

Have a lovely day, dear readers! It´s a sunny day here in Oslo today, and I´m enjoying every second of it. Maybe I should decorate our balcony? *smile*

Reminding you all that I have a giveaway going on this week. You can´t read more about it and enter here.
