House Doctor
Wednesday October 20th, 2010 by in Uncategorized

House Doctor is hearted by many people – including me. Their collection is very cool, and a bit different from the rest. Every product they have is real eye-candy and I really wish they sold it here in the US.
What do you think about the House Doctor collection?

Table setting in purple
Tuesday October 19th, 2010 by in Interior

On Friday we invited my boyfriend’s family for tapas. I totally forgot to take pictures after I put all the food on the table, because I was so stressed to get everything ready before they came. You probably know how it is – cooking and fixing all day!
But I took some pictures of the table earlier that day as I like to set the table a bit early, so I don’t have to stress with it in the last minute.
 This time I wanted to add some more color, so I used our new purple napkins and some matching flowers to make it fresh and pretty. But the food was the last piece of the decoration – tapas is very decorative!
Do you have any routines when you set the table? Sometimes I even do it the day before, so I can use all the time I need. It’s SO FUN – don’t you agree?
Enjoy our day!

Open House
Monday October 18th, 2010 by in Interior

Every now and then I go and look at houses that are for sale here in LA. It’s fun to see all the big and expensive houses and dream a little. 
This Sunday we went to see a huge glass house that is for sale up in the hills. I like modern houses but this house was too contemporary for my taste. Although it’s fun to see what you can get for 12 mill. dollars!
 
View from the garden and the atrium.
Master bedroom
Atrium and the infinity pool
 
One of MANY bathrooms
Pool lounge and one of the living rooms
 Kitchen
The house has a great view and the architecture is fabulous, but could you see yourself live here? I could probably see myself in that infinity pool though 🙂
Well, this is how RICH people live here in Hollywood *smile*.  Hopefully I can show you one of my dream houses soon. I promise you that there’s a lot of them here!

(This is only some of the rooms in the house. It was enormous and  it had more bedrooms than I can remember! But it was dark and I only had my compact camera, so these were the best ones.)

Wish you a great start of the week!

DIY: Silver plate makeover
Friday October 15th, 2010 by in DIY

I believe almost everything can be painted, therefore I paint all the things that I’m tired of in a new color. This time it’s one of my silver plates that got a makeover. I have two of them, and one of them was too shiny and I never used it, so I have now painted the plate in BLACK! 
It’s so COOL now, and I’m super happy with it! 
The silver plate cost me $3 at a goodwill store, so it’s not that I’ve painted an expensive thing or anything. Now I can at least use it, and I got a bit more contrast in my home.
What do you think?
If you want to see how it looked before, you can see it here.

Have a great weekend!
