Be awsome

Kids classics

On Saturday we celebrated our daughter´s given name, Tille, and had a lovely party which included family and friends. On her (or I guess mom´s!) wishlist was a bunch of Scandinavian classics such as:

1. Kay Bojesen´s Monkey. A qute little friend that will be around forever!

2. The Tripp Trapp High Chair, designed in 1972 by Norwegian Designer, Petter Opsvik, now produced by Stokke. A great and practical chair she can have for years.

3. Childrens cutlery Vivianna in stainless steel from Georg Jensen, designed by Vivianna Torunn Bülow-Hübe in 1996.

All these and a bunch of other great gifts became hers on her lovely day.

What a lucky little girl!

The great Kristen Visdal

You may have seen her house before, but not in a while and not like this. New colors, new combinations and new furnitures. You can see Kirsten Visdal´s "new home" in Elle Decoration´s (the Norwegian one!) June edition which is out now.

Back again!

 

Ten months has gone by since my last post, and time has sure flown by! I decided to enjoy my time as a new mom, and dedicated all my time that. Unread magazines piled up, no new blogposts were written, only a few new furnitures was made, and hardly anything new was done on the house 

(incredible how much time these little ones take...). Now, my daughter is nine months, and I feel that it is time to do a little bit of "my stuff".  Now it is back to work, reading magazines and searching for new inspiration :-).

Spring is here and a couple of weeks ago I "unpacked" all my gardening gear, pots and outdoor furnitures, and went to the nursery to buy some plants. Here´s the result!

More from the orchard

Another feature that is out now (also done in the lovely apple orchard), and which made the cover, is a feature with twleve tips and ideas on how you can create a romantic and colorful environment with the optimal summer feeling in your own garden/backyard.

One of them a romantic swing made out of an old bamboo chair found in a local fleamarket.

The recipes and the "how to´s" can be found in this summer issue of BoligPluss which is out in the stores now.
