IKEA
always been there
from when I was a child
sitting in the backseat of our overloaded car
eating ice-cream
listening to my mom and aunt talking

when I was a student
taking the free bus to Slependen
eating dinner with a friend
buying stuff small enough to carry home
small enough to fit into my tiny apartment

right now
kitchen for my new office in the barn
for creative boost
for fun
for inspiration

you got to love IKEA

ps. do not forget to enter my KK living giveaway!

quit & still
for some days
winter holiday
with the girls and Mr. G

peaceful days,
doing nothing

having spa at home with a 8 year old { Mathea }

baking a cake
building lego
moving furniture
playing in the snow
eating outside
visiting Mølen

Oh wonderful Mølen
the sound of waves
the smell of salt
the wind
alive

last words from Alma to Mathea tonight
"you can not go to your bed, I love you!"

that sums it up for me

yes, it´s been a great week

just because

// GREEN COMPETITION //

Yesterday, one sweet email in my inbox from Helle Tjaberg, the editor of Elle Decoration. They are having a competition together with Fargerike, seeking for the best interior talent. She asked if I wanted to join and spread the word. And of course I will! After all it´s one of my favorite interior magazines.
You need to live in Norway, be over 16 and the theme is green, more information to find her.
Me, I´ve used green in my interior for a long time, though pale green, not the bright one.
It´s time to do some action. Come on and join me!

Ps. I know this photo is more blue than green, but I just like the compose of it.

// THE SWEETEST //

Soon.
Very soon.
Selina Lake´s new book is out.
Homespun Style.
It looks so lovely!
I met Selina last year, shooting and styling our home together with Debi Treloar.
Selina is as sweet as every pink spot on these photos and I wish her all the best.
I plan to go to London and hope to make her launch party at Liberty.
Really looking forward to that.
Smile.
Hmm...wondering which hotel to stay at, please let me know if you have a favorite.
Sweet love.

from the barn
the sound of
hammer hitting nails
saw cutting wood
it´s hoarfrost on the outside walls
the sun is shining
making diamonds in the snow

me,
I´m sitting inside
in front of my Mac
fire in my hearth
coffe & chocolate on the table
the tulips are giving me
a sense of spring

I feel lucky

// LONG TIME AGO //

Open publication - Free publishing - More design

That is, soon two years
I made this
My first e-magazine, by Fryd 1
Such a treat to make
So much joy!
It´s been a long time since I took a glance at it
Suddenly I remembered what spring was like
Smile
Thought you would like a small spring-break too

// have a happy happy day //

// MY NEW FRIEND //

I do not know her name
but I do know that I like her
though not perfect
she´s a part of me
of my soul
of my inner spirit

novice
my first time
she is the result
of my brush
together with paint & canvas

never did I know
that this could feel
so good
so peaceful

totally harmony

all I want now
is to learn
more
a whole lot more

// PURE JOY //

// L O N G I N G //

.... for this
