DIY: New striped pot!
Thursday March 3rd, 2011 by in DIY

You have probably noticed that I like Tine K’s striped cups as I have them everywhere. The reason that I’m mentioning them is that they were actually the inspiration for this new pot-cover that I have knitted… Black and white stripes it is!

I love knitting as long as the object that I’m making is easy and only takes one(!) evening. This is exactly one of those projects *smile*

Thank you so much your all your kind feedback on my kitchen yesterday! Your comments are always very appreciated. Happy Thursday, darlings!

My kitchen 
Tuesday March 1st, 2011 by in Interior

Since I blogged about “Spring feeling” yesterday, I thought I would show you that I actually have a brought spring into my kitchen as well…

I got some gorgeous yellow tulips from a dear friend this weekend, and they certainly gave our kitchen a fresh look. Let´s say that I´ve started a bit early with my Easter decoration *smile*

Oh, I love this Savon soap so much! This one was actually a Christmas gift.

For those of you that have been reading my blog for a while, may recognize that I´ve now finally gotten my Eames chairs and my white Ikea table back from LA. You can see how our home made dining table looked like here. Which dining table do you like the best?

I can´t say how happy I am to get all our things back from our previous apartment. Oh, joy!

I hope these pictures gave you an extra spring feeling, and once again I will point out how much it does by having a little color on the flowers.

Feeling of spring! 
Tuesday March 1st, 2011 by in Interior

I have to admit that I really yearn for spring now that we are entering March, and it seems that the more I yearn, the more it snows so it’s quite frustrating! Therefore I have now collected some spring pictures that can help us get some “spring feeling”…(for you that already are so lucky to have spring already; just enjoy!)

 Gotta love this fresh, cute and colorful kitchen corner.
What a lovely place to enjoy the spring outside.
The flowery wallpaper gives the room a feeling of spring in an adorable way.
Flowers is all you need to give your room a touch of spring.
A sunny breakfast  – yes please! *smile*
What do you do to give your home a feeling of spring?

One shelf, two looks!
Monday February 28th, 2011 by in Interior

Hello everybody! Today I would like to show you how different it looks only by changing colors on a few elements. I have used my home-made kitchen shelf as an example to demonstrate how different it can be…

In my first example I´ve used a cold blue/light turquoise and in the image below I´ve used a warm yellow. I only changed a couple of elements, but as you can see it looks quite different.

Which one is your favorite? Do you prefer cold or warm colors?

Also reminding you all that it´s possible to download a Stylizimo App for your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. You will now find a new version that works better than the first one. Read more about Stylizimo App here.

12 ways to get organized!
Wednesday February 23rd, 2011 by in Uncategorized

We always need more space don’t we? By thinking a little bit different, you can create more space and utilize every inch. Therefore, I’ve gathered 12 tips on how you can get more organized…

1. A bench in the hallway is perfect for storing your shoes etc.
2. By adding a shelf above it you have room for your hats and scarf as well.
3. Use pretty boxes for your dvds and cds.
4. Put your favorite books and magazine under the table, so they are easy to reach. 
 5. A bookshelf can be used for so many other things than books. Use your creativity!
6. Why not try something a little untraditional like these barrels.
7. Store your pretty shoes using a ladder. View other ways to use a ladder here.
8. This chest of drawers is great for storing your magazines.
9. Show off your nice things in the kitchen by displaying them on shelves and cabinets.
 
 10. To avoid clutter on the kitchen counter, it may be an idea to collect stuff in baskets or wooden crates. Read “10 ways to decorate with a basket” here.
11. Store your bottles in zinc boxes. A perfect way to add an industrial look in your room.

12. Keep it organized inside your closets as well, by using boxes for your small stuff. Then it will look beautiful even when you open the doors.
I hope these tips give you some ideas on how to keep it organized.
Thank you for all your sweet comments on my new feminine office and moodboard.
It warms my heart.
