New painting – Soft Moments

Tuesday September 27th, 2016 by Nina Holst in Interior

SOFT MOMENTS IN THE LIVING ROOM

It hasn´t been much time for painting lately, but finally I´ve had some quality time with my brushes again. And here is the result!

Since it´s all about grey-beige colors in my head these days, I just had to paint a painting in this color-scheme as well ; ) I think it turned out very soft and calm so I´ve called it “Soft moments”.
The painting is 1200×1000 mm, and is available for sale. Check out my website byNinaHolst.com for more info and a close up photo.

New color in the kitchen

Sunday September 25th, 2016 by Nina Holst in DIY

As I´ve told you earlier this week, I painted our white kitchen in LADY Pure Color 10679 Washed Linen last weekend. I showed you a little sneak peek from the dining area, but today I share how the color turned out with our black kitchen units. With this light grey-beige color we got a more warm and soft feeling in the kitchen, and still kept it light – which is important to me as we have so much black in the room.

You might notice that I´ve also removed the DIY backsplash we used to have. I figured out that it took too much light, so I replaced the shelf above the counter with an Ikea shelf that I painted in the same color as the wall. A low-budget kitchen shelf for sure!

Simple lunch table setting

Friday September 23rd, 2016 by Nina Holst in My Home

A SIMPLE LUNCH TABLE SETTING FOR THE WEEKEND

Why not invite some friends or family over for a simple lunch this weekend? A soup is always nice this time of year, and you can have it ready long before the guests arrive so there is no stress involved. The table setting can be as simple as I have done here. Just put bread and the soup on the table and you have an informal lunch I bet you all will enjoy!

Happy weekend!

100% Norway – London Design Fair

100% Norway Dare To Designstudio

100% Norway is opening its doors for the thirteenth time at the London Design Fair today. I was planning on visiting this year, but with too much work I´ve decided to stay home working instead.

Curator Max Fraser has brought together 17 Norwegian designers and studios whose work engages with the contemporary design story of Norway, and I´m very proud to say that one of them is the Trondheim-based studio Dare to Designstudio, founded by interior designers Anniken Zahl Furunes and Hege Magreth Åbelvold. They exhibit their flexible, modular wooden storage system ORGANIZE that I´ve written about a few times on my blog already.

Andreas Engesvik will also be there to exhibit IDA ( photo below) – a prototype of a sustainable steel-framed dining chair that can be easily reupholstered and repainted, extending its lifespan over many years.

You can check out all the products that will be exhibited at 100% Norway´s website. There are many interesting designs to look at!

Autumn product news that I like

Wednesday September 21st, 2016 by Nina Holst in Products / Shop

NEW PRODUCTS THAT IS WORTH MENTIONING

After being at a lot of press launches + Oslo Design Fair this fall, I have seen many nice new products. I have already mentioned a few, but here are five more products that I want to share with you.

1. Holmegaard has always something beautiful to offer, and I really like the new Palet storage jars in grey. Nice storage jars is always needed, right?

2. The beautiful stoneware Dome vases by Kristina Dam can carry your favorite flowers or branches, or just be nice sculptures on the table or shelf. On my wishlist for sure!

3. A field of tall poppies inspired this series of outdoor oil lamp by Northern Lighting called Poppy. It´s made in two versions: a sleek oil container with a conical crown and a globe-like model topped with a rounded collar. Poppy is available as a table lamp, a floor lamp or a lawn light that attaches to the ground with a pin. Perfect, if you ask me!

4. Good wine needs the right accessories to enjoy the experience fully. Rosendahl has therefore in collaboration with the architect and designer Eva Harlou created the Wine ball. A modern, playful and super functional new design, which combines a handy corkscrew, foil cutter, wine cork and bottle opener. Christmas gift idea?

5. The Ultima Thule by iittala series was first launched in 1968, and is inspired by winter and the melting Arctic ice in Lapland. Shortly after Ultima Thule was launched Finnair began to use their glass on their Helsinki – New York route. Ultima Thule quickly gained a place in Finnish hearts as an international classic and became known as Finnair’s business class glass.

The glasses are now available for sale again, which also means that you can once again enjoy them if you are travelling business class with Finnair ; )
