Tomorrow
I will be here
Together with this

I´m so looking forward
to spend the day with you
Ingrid

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

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

I can not tell you
how exited I am!

in my ear

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

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

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

With hidden love notes
for her Gilles

I got to meet

For a while now
I´ve been looking for the perfect
dining chair

I LOVE Charles & Ray Eames
Their dining chairs are a style icon
and it´s in almost every designer home
I adore the one with wooden base
maybe someday
in my office
that would look really nice

Then suddenly a new product
on HAY´s shop
I can not get it out of my mind
J110

I´m in love
again

// smile //

Ok
must admit
I´m a regular guest here
Simply love
the style & atmosphere

Oh...
all I dream of now
is 6 x J110

2011-11-18T09:30:00.001+01:00

Sounds dramatic
But it´s only me figuring out
in the end
how to live my life

I quit my job so I could do what I love
And believe me I do
It´s just when it gets to much of it
the fun & good part
is gone

So today I´m a bit proud
that I managed to follow my heart
my feelings
my intuition

I´m still polite & nice

only trying to say goodbye
to the little nice girl
that always smiles and nods
and in the end looses herself

just as you know
I will still give you a smile
that is
a real one

that this fall I had to paint my home in grey

// two. I LOVE my white
because it makes me feel free & happy

So what am I doing with a big bucket of grey paint in my hand for?

Only a cabinet and some chairs
Thats it

OK...ok...ok..

// INSIDE OUT //

2011-09-18T14:23:00.000+02:00

We have started to renovate and this is how it looks like right now.
It is such a wonderful feeling.
Cleening out all trash and stuff that has not been used for years.
Only taking space and energy.
This is not exactly where my office is going to be, but the standard is more or less the same.
So yes, we do have a lot of work ahead of us.
Big smile.
But we are not afraid.
We have our dreams and goals.
And now that we have come so far, nothing can stop us.
The wonderful two last photos are what I cling to.
My dream.
Found via Pintrest.
I hope in one year I can show you something simular.
Oh joy!

Sometimes I feel like I wear my inside out
Only because I´m happy from here to the moon
Only because we dare
Only because we belive in something
Does that make people the right to be negative?
As if we are not vulnerable
As if we do not care
Not that we have any enemies
Just sometimes surprised how people chose to react
I wonder

We are so lucky and fortunate
We are two soulmates with the same dream
I won life and love

Wish you a sweet and wonderful Sunday

All paperwork and important meetings are finished and handywork is waiting. Big time.
The barn has not been used in 30 years and the cowshed will be my office.
I´m looking forward to share the process with you.

For now;
happy summer memories
Today;
fall came on a short visit

Slow motion
The air is hot and thick
I want to fill a jar with it
and save it for a winter-day

My mind and body has been resting
Loading
Filled with wonderful moments
I´m blessed to have my two sweet girls and Mr. G
I can´t compare it
It´s endless love

Then
Tradgedy struck
Not me privat
But still so hurtfull
Words felt and still feels meaningless

"If one man can show so much hate, imagine how much love we all can show together"
- Helle Gannestad -

Though my heart aces
I´ve never been prouder of my country
How we manage to drown hate
with love
How we stick together

I HAVE TO THANK YOU

I took a tour
backwards

my days by posts
FRYD + DESIGN

I new I was lucky
But suddenly I realised
how fortunate
I have been
and still are

{ S M I L E }

Having this place
to be creative

You visiting
Leaving your words
Making me smile

My own ezines
by Fryd
Your feedback still amazes me

Having wonderful words in BoligLiv
Setting tables with Maison
Showing of my homemade Christmas in Dagbladet Søndag
Having my own color at Kulør
Collaborate with KK
Oh my

And now;
a new journey starts
Today was my last day at work
Now, all by my self
Ready to do what I love

More of this,
my blog and ezines
Working as a stylist for KK
+ all the other things I do not know of yet
I´m so exited

KITCHEN TOUR & VOTING

2011-06-09T13:53:00.000+02:00

Since I´m nominated as one of "the best interiorblogs 2011" at NIB
I thought it was about time to show you my new kitchen

{ S M I L E }

Airy and white
Flowers and self made magnets
I´m really pleased

If you like my style
Smile
You can vote for me here
That would make me so happy

{ B I G S M I L E }

WHAT TO THINK

2011-06-06T22:44:00.006+02:00

Who am I?
Me, of course. Nothing more, nothing less.
Most of the time quite happy with that.
But there are days....
I´ll take another time.
Smile.

I just discovered that F R Y D + D E S I G N is nominated as one of Norways best interiorblogs by NIB.
That is such a BIG surprise and a sweet honor.
Though I´m not jumping up and down, believe me I´m really happy!!
(it´s just that I´m not very bouncy)
But I know how to smile from ear to ear.

To be recognized and seen for what I love is special.
I love to express my self creatively.
My way of living and interior are a big part of that.
Therefor this means a lot to me.
Not beacause I´m good with trends, beeing in or stylish, which I´m not.
This means a lot because I get knowledge for following my dreams and heart.
And believe me, that feels good.

Thank you.

Sweet & warm thoughts, Jeanette

It´s been summer
for some days
I´ve spent most of my time outside
In my garden
Nursing my plants
Watching the kids play
& laugh
Pure joy

{ S W E E T * S M I L E }

Therefor
less time in front of my Mac
+
less time for my blogg

less time for everything
actually

besides for
just beeing
which is a great thing

Today,
one of my neighbor kids got bullied with

Inside
I get furious

So I wait
until their back
and confronts them
I´m calm,
but angry

Now
One hour later
I´m still shaking

It´s sad
how evil kids can be
Probably
there is a sad story on the other side
Makes me think

It´s hard not to get involved
I seldom get angry
But situations like this does!

I think I need a glass of wine

Skummelt.
Redd for å føle seg ensom.
Ikke kjenne noen.
Bare stå der,
litt svett i hendene.

Men jeg lover;
jeg vil gi deg et smil
og kanskje enda bedre
blir vi kjent
Det hadde vært hyggelig!
ikke sant?

Og sånn har det vært
hver gang
jeg har møtt en
ja, blogger altså

Latter & smil
hyggelige samtaler
og mer smil

Og det er det jeg gleder meg til
Glansdagene 25.juni

Å feire
dele og inspirere

Jeg håper du kommer også
Ingen er alene
Vi er jo alle sammen

While Mr. G has been taking down the kitchen
The girls and I have been creative
In our pajamas and cast
Making cards & bunnies
Poor Alma broke her leg and my heart
on the trampoline the other day
My little sweetheart already knows how to deal with it
It´s me that is having a hard time not feeling sorry for her

From corners of my house

Since I decided to quit my job my mind has been in some kind of creative mess
From wanting to do everything
to wanting to do nothing,
which is not a very good alternative

{ S M I L E }

Thoughts like;
"no worries! this will be so much fun"
then
"what the h... am I thinking!! How will we survive"
Most of the times I´m in the middle of these two
Though clinging and hoping for the first thought

I have a plan to start on my third ezine
(love that word)
I know it´s been said before
But this time I really mean it

{ L A U G H T E R }

I´m so bad remembering how much work it is
Mr. G keeps telling me
All I recall is how much fun it was

Weeks ago
Together with my students
Visiting Telemark Museum, Brekke Gård
Such a wonderful place
In summer & spring

Solveig

I´m lucky

{ S M I L E }

We talked. A lot. About everything. Most about blogging.

Where I come from the word "blogging" is not positive.
I guess there´s many reasons for that.
We joked about changing the word.
And I have been thinking.
Oh my....

{ L A U G H T E R }

Blog backwards
Golb...which I again turn in to gold
Gold shines

when I´m blogging
