Change is good



Needed a change. Repainted parts of our art last weekend. But still some left to fix. It might need some more patterns since I removed the pink parts of our FrIeNdLy ArT. Then I put some white tape on the table´s legs. Thanks to Shinedesign for a super tip about white socks. For us who don´t want to paint. And then regret. Next, hang the dots on the wall. 
Happy week end to you all!

That´s me in the corner


Exciting things going on. Trying to pick some nice pictures for something exciting and secret for now. Don´t know what to choose. I realized I`m happy with our corners. And the raindrop wall in our stairway to heaven. 


That´s me in the corner. That´s me in the spotlight...

Bæsj propp tiss




Ah, it felt so good finishing some sewing again! This is for diapers. Unused I must say. In norwegian it says "poop fart pee-pee". I think that fits for kids.

Skjenkefarvel




It´s kind of strange but nice being an aunt to grownups. Or at least youth, moving out of their nest. I like things to stay in our family so my niece and her boyfriend borrow this old bench of mine. I got it after my grandparents years ago, and fixed the things that were broken. And painted it. Now we have just an ordinary chest from Ikea. I like it clean.

Something´s cookin´in the kitchen















Small changes. Bit by bit. You can see how it was to start with, here. Last year I painted some lists. This year I painted the walls and changed the handles. Fixed the lamp. And we will hang up a shelf for nice stuff. One day. Now I hope to do something about the record under the cabinets. I´ve found these kitchen boards that might work. We´ll see.  Any suggestions, or experiences? It must be easy and cheap, or else I won`t get it done.

Halla balla








I seem to have lost the need- and speed- for daily updates. Instagram is so much easier and funny. Today the sun came through so I captured some pictures of my favorites in our hall.

Old meets new





Daddy cool helped me fix the old lamp in our kitchen. We saved a lot of money, not buying the design lamp I planned. We also saved our planet for one more lamp production. Yeah. I´m lucky to have a dad who´s a retired electrician. This was a tricky lamp to release from its old conduction, therefore we needed help from an expert. Thank you so much dad for attaching the new black and white fabric conduction. I bought a Halo lamp at Åhlens which we cut to fit before connecting it. They also sell lamps like that at Clas Ohlson
The kitchen is getting there. Sloooooowly.

Cheap kitchenfix





I planned to fix our kitchen this summer. It´s the only room we haven´t painted since we bought this house three years ago. I almost made it. At least I started it. So this is what you get to see for now. I painted one wall black (after removing the dado) and the others white. I´ve changed the 28 handles and I am quite happy about the simplicity. Now I will try to spice up the old lamp which came with the house. And get my String pocket on the wall. I think it will be a perfect, cheap fix. I´ve spent more time in the kitchen cooking lately! I like nice rooms. "Just wait and see when it´s all done" I tell my boyfriend. Trying to get some help with what´s left to do.

Holy Friday


Finally friday. The feeling of week-end is finally back. Just showing you one of my swedish flea marked finds: a big wooden tray. Perfect combined with my triangles. I just seem to not have enough trays either. Happy week end to you! 
I hope to show you our kitchen soon, if we just finish what we started. I mean, I started.

Pillows





Just playing with my camera again. I was afraid I had lost it. My way of taking pictures. This week end we had our niece over. Who need toys when auntie makes and buys a whole lot of pillows?

Peekaboo!



I´ve almost forgot how to blog. I haven´t felt the need. And it´s been good. No energy, no need. But instagram has been great, and still is. So please join me there if you´re not. Now my energy and inspiration is on its way. So I guess I´m back now.
