Sliding doors

We´ve just decided to put sliding doors in our kitchen. I think it will be absolutely great with a glas wall and a patio right outside (like on the third photo), perfect for summer breakfast or a sunny lunch. Unfortunally this will not become a reality until next year so now I just dream about it...

Nude pastels

After listening to a lot different trend forcast agencys talking about the next coming trends, it´s easy to see a pattern in what they all predict. One of them is the change in how we see season-colours. They will merge, lighter nude pastels will be important for fall and dark "autumn" colours for spring... So, this post celebrates these nude tones and soft pastels as we come closer to the autumn season.

Missoni collaboration

I just stumbled across some sneak peek photots of Missoni´s upcoming collaboration with Target. The collection is including both homewear and clothes. These are my personal favorites, a coxy blanket, some cute babygear and the laptop cover. Apart from these four items, nothing else in the collection made me excited. It looked like Missoni copies and had nothing interesting to say. What do you think of collaborations? Are they a great way to let "ordinary people" buy luxury items or is it distroying the brand by exploiting their name?

Summer is drifting

Summer is slowly leaving us. It´s still nice and warm but the evenings are getting shorter and the air is a bit cooler. I also see a difference in the light, its more grey than yellow. I´m doing my best to take advantage of every second, either with a long walk by the sea or on the terass with a book. Only wished I had a Gaucho inspired blanket to wrap around my shoulders...

Wooden bathroom

There is nothing new with using wood in outdoor showers, you can acctually see it quite often. But I think I see a new trend in using wood in the indoor bathrooms. At first it was a contrast wall in wood, then a bathtub in wood and now I find photos of all wooden bathrooms. What do you think, is it a trend that will stay or will it fade as quickly as it came?

Room for a boy

My never ending project is my sons room. We have bougt the colour and built the shelfs but then our energy ended and nothing more has been done. So, hopefully I will get started soon again to finish what will be Axels own space (even if he thinks the whole house is his to sprinke toys all over). The base will be white and pale aqua with accents in bold colours. My nex DIY will be to make posters for the walls and hopefully Axel will help me. Or maybe I paint some tires and turn them into a table. To be continued...

Brown paper bag

We´ve all had a brown paper bag in our hands. Most of the time they go into the recycle bin as soon as we come home, but why not make something out of it? I love the simple, jet stylish ideas above, using a plain paper bag.

Summer house dream

I just got back from a wonderful visit at my husbands familys summer house, a beautiful house on an island, far from stress, people and life in general. While driving back, I started to think about how my own "dream summer house" would look like. I think some of these pictures illustrates what I had in mind, daydreaming about it.

Finnish graphics

Sorry for my blog silence but long days at the beach have kept me from my computer and I can´t think of a better excuse right now...

Althoug when I found this home I could not resist to show you. Homes from Finland tend to have a clean, graphic style, at least that is my conclusion from fishish bloggs (have unfortunally never been to Finland). I really like their estetics and this lovely home is no exception. It´s Suki, the owner of the finish blog Varpunen, who just moved in to their new home and this is what it looks like. I love the black and white mixed with some bright blue and red. If I can get ahold of that red apple, I´m a happy girl.
