// ON THE ROAD //

Tomorrow
I will be here
Together with this
lovely person
I´m so looking forward
to spend the day with you
Ingrid

It´s all about
interior
styling
trends
& mingling

I´m ready for an

inspiring & fun day

And since green is told
to be one of the "BIG" trends
this year
I´m giving you some green love

// JOY //

// WELCOME //

to my office!

for me this is BIG
the ceiling is down
heavy concrete and old wood
gone
only the good parts are taken care of

I know it looks rough
but I also know
not for long
it will look
something like
the last photo
:: source ::

I can not tell you
how exited I am!

// JUMPING JOY //

// BABY IT´S COLD OUSIDE //

Inside
the fire is lit

little Alma
on the daybed
sleeping
with rosy cheek and fever

The view
the old window
is my office view
oh joy x 100

later
I will show you inside
the barn
what it looks like
right now

Our dream
the best part
I like the way
we are
getting there

// SWEET MONDAY //

// NICE PEOPLE //

One sweet lady
a phonecall
this is the result

her mom
once a female tailor

fabric
thread
buttons
now in my house

weekday angels

// J O Y //

// FROM THE CHAIR //

Tiger
our sweet & soft cat
looks
at me
with one
eye

thinking
hey woman
slow down

do like me
sleep & relax

let the days
pass slowely
like dandelion parachuts
dancing in
the air

he turns around
and falls
asleep

// ON A FRIDAY //

today
this inspires
me

RIE ELISE LARSEN // BLOOMINGVILLE // HOUSE DOCTOR

maybe you
too

//sunny winter smile //

// - 10 //

today it is
cold
ten celsius below

all I dream of
is to stick
my naked feet
in to my
new slippers
feel the heat from the sun...

// daydreaming //

I think I was born
to live in
this place

// smile //

// SOMEONE SWEET //

sweet as sugar
she steals my heart
regularly

with her infectious laughter
deep green eyes
hair like silk

she whispers
in my ear

"jei elster deg mamma" // " I love you mommy"

tears
in my
green eyes

last night
I begged her

please
stay like this
like magic
forever

she laughed

my little girl
three years

// MOMMY LOVE //

// A KIND OF //

Christmas
this year
my reality

showing you
behind the scenes
simple & true

I like it this way

Though;
The best part of traveling
is to come back
home

I had summer
but must admit
I´m ready for
spring

// warm smiles //

// ANOTHER YEAR & ONE LUCKY WINNER//

Oh my
so so long ago

Many sunny days since last time
Spent in wonderful Spain

Christmas celebrated with
sand between my toes
sunglasses on my nose
and kids
taking a swim before X-mas dinner
in the ocean

// smile //

But oh my
so good to back

// ... a h ... //

The day before we left
I picked a winner in Oslo
for my H&M gift

My pick is Cecilie
one amazing artist
one sweet person
I like the way she dresses up Christmas
With hidden love notes
for her Gilles

I´m so glad
I got to meet
the sweetest persons
at H&M

Makes me love
H&M
even more

Now
I´m looking
forward
to embrace
2012

// happy lovely new year //

// GINGER //

this year house
gold + white + light blue
shimmering & sweet

Alma thinks
just perfect
for me

// MY FAVORITE MATCH //

In the last issue of magazine MAMMA
I write about homemade Christmas
together with the children
This matchbox has
become my favorite

But there are a lot more
Seven pages full of inspiration

Since this pattern is made by me
I thought it would be nice
for you
to download

Just click the photo
