Shades of grey

The thunder outside inspired me for this grey post. It´s scary and cosy at the same time, listening to the sky roaring. Grey have a reputation for beeing dull and boring, but put together in the right shades, it´s a beautiful colour.

Sharp corners

I just found some lovely photos at Vtwonen of a home with custom made units. It feels like every square meter is well thought of and used in an innovative way. Sharp edges and clean lines create a modern and contemporary air, the deep blue accents and warm knits adds personality. I like.

A green moment

I just had a bit of a green moment. An image with a little bit of grass green just caught my eye and I got inspired. I know green is more of a spring colour but a rainy day like this it´s just what I needed.  A colour full of energy and optimism, don´t you think?

Danish style

In this months Elle Decoration UK a stylish home of the Danish fashion designer Helle Walsted is featured. I just bought the magasine a few days ago but were thrilled to see the photos again at La maison d´Anna G. I love the placement of moodboards all over the home, the large photos and the consistent graphic styling.

What a feeling

Wow, thank you all for your answers. I felt like a child on Christmas Eve going threw the comments and it´s like my circle of friends have expanded a bit. Just by going threw your answers it feels like we have a lot in common. Elina also returned the anwer with a question; who am I. So, here we go:

I live in Onsala, a little south of Göteborg in Sweden. My family, Gustaf, our  3 year old son Axel and I moved in to a house with huge renovation needs for about two years ago. My husband and I are both really interested in building and renovation but I have to admit that my interest in interior is even bigger. It´s an adicion!

I have been working as a fashion designer for the last twelve years, enjoying every second of it. I was seven years old when I decided what to do with my life and I don´t think I could have picked a better profession. I also have a passion for travelling (which comes in handy with my line of work). I´ve lived a year in Canada, a year in France and another year in Germany. Three years that have made me into who I am today. Meeting people from other countries and cultures is fantastic.

In my spare time, I like to be with my family as much as possible. Although bloging has become a big part of my life as well. It´s just so much fun and I feel it gives me energy more than it takes. Both Gustaf and I also like to paint and hopefully we will have an excibition soon. I´ll keep you posted...

Have a wonderful friday night! We are expecting weekend guests so I have some beds to make. Take care.

Who are you?

I´m just so thrilled with all you visiting my blog, writing sweet things as comments and just to have this new friendship with so many of you. We have most likely never met, but I really think you have become a big part of my life, yet we don´t know eachother...so lets change that!

If you have any questions for me, please write them in a comment. I would also really like to know what you´re looking for in my blog. Is there something you´re missing?

AND, I would know something about you.
1. Where do you live?
2. How did you find my blog?
3. How old are you, or should I say how young...?
4. What´s your occupation?
5. Whats your passion in life?

Mood of the day

My day has been filled with work, trying to make beautiful clothes. Trying to use my imagination to create new designs. I just wished my office looked anything like this and that I could have a New York bagel with my coffee. How was your day?

By Nord

I love these new images from By Nord. They have a very strong nordic design estetic with a new twist. Rustic and simple, yet powerful, with minimal colours like black, white and some neutrals. Beautiful.

Tuesday specials

It´s raining cats and dogs outside so I just needed some "pick me up" photos to make me smile. A black board image...just like the one I just made for my son. A beautiful Moroccan bowl from Tine K... that I could´nt resist last time shopping. A gap like Lauren Hutton...used to have one. A black kitchen...still dreaming. So, much better. Now I´ll curl up in the sofa with a cup of tea. Have a nice evening!

Neon

I know, I know...I´ve written about neon before but sometings are worth repeating. I just found some new lovely photos with my favorite accent colour of the day.

Ferm living

I´m not much for buying everyting at one place. I prefer to seak for specific items at different places and then mix them up my own way, but after I browsed around at Ferm livings "Kids colletction" at their webshop, I´m willing to change my mind. I want it all! I love their simple and clean graphics, but especially I like how they work with colours. Tasteful but still playful.

Party party

Today I´m all about planing and preparing for our sons birthday party. Cleaning, baking, decorating... It´s not until saturday, but still lots to do so today will be a pause in posting.
