Next Easter...?

Found these easter eggs over at Hello Tiger and, just like Tiger, I'm not a big fan of holiday decorations. Simon is more into it, the last two christmases he has been talking about christmas table cloths (?). Anyways, these easter eggs decorated in classic swedish tableware patterns by Cecilia Danell are really nice!

If I were to get married....

I would like to do it with a ring like this, the symbolics are crystal clear!

A gift to a very dear friend!

Very intense workshop together with my old friend Emma! We made graphics for this board wich later was given to another friend as a birthday gift. Everything was made by hand and each of the little squares in the top layer had to be cut out separately before spray painting.
It took us a few hours but I'm quite pleased with the result!

Hello Amsterdam!

I'm off to Holland for a couple of days to visit a dear friend and to celabrate another dear friend's birthday! Hope to bring something nice with me home to show you all!

Same same, but different

First of all, thanks for returning, despite my lack of postings the last couple of weeks! The new job is fun but as you know, starting a new work can be quite exhausting!
A couple of days ago I found a nice, elips shaped, glass table top in our recycle shed ( I love that shed!!) in the back yard. It had been a part of a hidious mid 90's sofatable (I found the legs too) but the top itself was pretty nice and just the perfect size for a new diningtable. I'm thinking about painting the glass on the downward side and add some nice legs to it.
One of my favourite places to go peeking for designerfurniture (that's right, just looking- totally out of my price range!) is HAY, and the have these really nice trestles I would buy if I could! They are also available as clothesracks and I like that it looks like they're are kind of "walking".
Anyways, IKEA has a pretty nice copy, Vika Lerberg, and I'll probably go for them instead, and find some other way to support Danish design!

New job, "new" city, very tired....

Goodbye Denmark!

I'm off to Sweden tomorrow (a couple of days later than expected) and I'm looking forward to it!
I won't be posting for a few days now, since I won't bring my computer, but I'll be back soon!
Have a great weekend!

A bit like a ferry

Can you believe that I am going to work in THIS building for the next couple of weeks? This is so so strange and especially to me since I'm really afraid of hights (I started crying while climbing the tower of Vor frelsers kirke in Copenhagen a couple of years ago!!)
Yesterday I visited the designstudio I am going to work with for the first time and it was such a weird experience. This house was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and was, upon it's completion in 2005, the tallest building in Scandinavia.
I can understand the necessity to build really tall buildings in cities where space is limited, but this is Malmö! The building has apartments as well as office spaces and the office where I am going to work is on the 19th floor (out of 54) so it's not even halfway up, and I must say (even on a cloudy day) the view was spectacular!
I'm not the biggest fan of this type of architecture, neither interior or exterior. Apart from the view, it felt abit like being on a ferry or on an airplane. How do you get a cosy, homey feeling in a space like that? And I can't imagine what it would be like to live in a place where the windows just opens 10 cm! Where there is only one way out!
For an office, it works just great and I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks (especially to work together with the nice and talented people there!) and maybe I can start dressing more stewardess-like to match the interior!

Move in with me!

I just had to steal these images from the very cute blog Hello Tiger! (Sorry and thank you!!)
The lamps are from IIotIIov, german designers with fun ideas!

The lousy decorator episode 1

Thought I'd try to finally get something up on the walls and I got this really nice poster from my friends Hanna and Sofia at Vintage plant. I framed it and thought that it would look really nice in the livingroom next to the sofa, and it did. For 5 minutes. Then the whole thing went down and scared me to death, now I have shattered glass all over the floor. I think I need a cup of coffee.


Even Barbapapa felt like hiding....
