Waiting rooms..

Waiting rooms always depresses me and makes me feel terrible. Wouldn't it be fun if next time you went to the doctor the waiting room looked like this and it had actually been thought about...

I wonder which seat I would choose...

Welcome to new members! I would love to hear from you.
I haven't been able to look at all your blogs yet as so many people have entered in my give away. 
I'll stop by and say hello as soon as I get a chance!  

Tomorrow we're going to another flea market. Have you got any plans on your day off? Or are you working?

Today..

I'm loving gallery walls and all of my new friends! :)
Welcome to my blog!

Love the fact that you can use anything when you create a gallery wall.. 
- even cutting boards!


My favorite ... old frames and mirrors.

I took this photo in a restaurant we visited on Ile de Ré a few weeks ago. I just love the collection of old mirrors.. I'll be searching flea markets for old mirrors to make my own gallery mirror wall.. :)

Not sure how to create a gallery wall?!
Here's a brilliant way of trying it out! Have fun!
All you need is some brown paper and some masking tape.


Thank you for reading my blog
and thank you so much for joining my give away!

More inspiration..

This beautiful converted factory in the Jordaan area of Amsterdam is just perfect. Love the windows, the walls, the chandelier... what is there not to like?!

New office

This is my new colourful office and my little "blog-spot".


I've put a new shelf up over my desk (with some help from my husband - THANKS!) and I love it! The new lamps are perfect and only cost 10€ each!


Had to include my new mat of course.


Magnus made the photo display in black and green at nursery. 
Fits in nicely.



I found my desk in a 2nd hand shop with a wobbly leg that actually only needed some glue. It was covered in candle wax, but I sanded it off and painted it black. It cost me the whole amount of 15€ including the paint. ;)


Before


 After


Total cost 145€ new chair, desk, shelf, 2 lamps and mats. :) 




As to my inspiration it's from here. When I saw this I immediately new that I wanted to use this idea somewhere. I absolutely love the architecture lamps on the shelf.


The photos are from beautiful Hotel du Nord in Denmark. The lamps used here were a bit pricy for me, so instead I found some that cost 10€ each. They're not quite as cool, but they'll do.

Thank you so much for all your support dear readers! 
It's so nice to hear from you. I'll keep my blog the way it is.
Brilliant day to you all!

ps! new give away this evening!!

Sneak peek..

First of all how nice was that to come home to?! Wow, 18 lovely supporting messages, 2 new members and 2 new likes of Facebook! Thank you sooo much! It was really nice to read them all. You're so sweet. Looks like Hege in France will continue the way it is. ;)

Here's a sneak peek from my new office. 


Not the most fancy lamp in the word, I know, but it actually looks quite cool. 
I'll show you more tomorrow.
 
Soon new give away!!

Thank you all again and have a nice evening!

Empty...

Thank you for your nice comments on my rugs. ;)

I feel a bit empty today as I don't know what to do with my blog.. 
I love the blog as it is, but some people don't like the fact that I use other peoples photos for inspiration.. What do you think?
Is it that bad? I always try to refer to where I found the photos.
Please tell me what you think..

What do you like about my blog?
The inspiration, the things I do or both?!


 A couldn't think of a better photo than an empty house...


I would love to hear from you!
Have a nice day!

My diy rugcycling..

A while back I wrote about rugcyling and I've been meaning to have a go for ages.. Well here's my version.. Hope you like it! I was hoping to say it's easy, but it's not! :) It's highly frustrating, irritating and difficult! ha ha! 








Before


After


Would I do it again... YES, and I'm considering a much larger project.. a huge rug for our living room. This is a very good alternative to buying one huge rug and a much cheaper one. We'll see..
