Happy New Year,

Dear Readers! I wish you all a wonderful New Year! 

My photos might seem a little strange as they lack a bit of bling and glamour, but there's a reason for that. This resembles the trends of next year.. What will we put in our frames, which magazines will we read and what will our cushion covers look like?!

Is grey the new black?! Will we be mixing old with new?

I can't wait to see what 2013 will bring. Which colours do you think will be the most trendy?

A big THANK YOU for 2012! It's been an amazing year! 

big hug

I'm working on

my plan for next year, so I've been very quiet this week..

I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas. 

We didn't just have Santa come visit, but also the Tooth Fairy. 
They came on the same night, so I wonder if they met in the hall?! ;)

I'll let you know more about what I'm doing later, but I just wanted to say hi as it's been a while. 
Have you got any new ideas for next year? I would love to hear about them!

Happy Friday!

Merry Christmas!

I'm signing off for a few days. I wish you all a Merry Christmas! I hope you'll all have a lovely time. 

Our 4 candles are now lit and Santa will be coming very soon. Magnus is of course very excited. Santa's presents are all wrapped up in red wrapping paper.

Thank you so much for following my blog. 

When I started blogging just over a year ago I had no idea that my blog would develop this quickly. 

I couldn't have done it without you! 

If you need some inspiration over the holiday period here's my Pinterest account. 

If you would like to take part in my Christmas DIY challenge it's HERE. 

If you would like to see my Christmas wishes go to The Curiosity Project blog where I'm guest blogging. Tiffany has a beautiful blog. I hope you'll have a look!

Merry Christmas, dearest readers!!!

It's starting

to look a lot like Christmas. Tomorrow we'll be decorating our tree and going to a Christmas market. It's going to be nice to have a few quiet and relaxing days together. 

Last year I got the chance to be in a book "Sanselig jul" and I've now received it! "A Christmas for all the senses" by Franciska Munck-Johansen. I have to say it's exciting to see my photos on print and with so many other lovely Christmas decorations and recepies.. It's a real honor to appear in the book. You can order the book HERE and you can see more photos from the book HERE. If you still need more Christmas inspiration then have a look at my Pinterest Christmas board. 

Please take part in my challenge Christmas DIY. There are some great prizes to win.

Hope you're all well! Happy Friday!!

Christmas at Kaspara's

is a little bit different than in most homes, but oh so cute! 

There's a mixture of home made, new and old. 

Kasparas regnbue means Kaspara's rainbow in English.

A more fitting name I really couldn't think of. 

I love all the colour combinations!

Pop over to Kaspara's for some DIY ideas.

DIY Christmas tree

Yes, I've made another Christmas tree. All you need is a sheet of chipboard, some nails, a hammer, a ruler and some string.. When Christmas is over I'll turn this around and use it as a notice board in my office. 2 in 1! Who knows maybe next Christmas I'll change the colour of the string and re-use it. 

Have a lovely day! 1 week to go and I'm so not ready yet!! Are you?!

Hostess gifts

Don't always feel like bringing flowers or wine to a party?! 

Well, this hostess gift by Sugar & Cloth is really easy to make and looks great too. 

 photos by Sugar & Cloth

I like "making" chocolates. First cut up and mix nuts, biscuits, marsipan and/or marsmallows, then poor melted cooking chocolate over the mix. Put it in the fridge to set and cut into bits! Very simple and it's so good! A box or a jar of these chocolates would make a great home made hostess gift.

I've yet to try this with white chocolate, but I've got the feeling that I will soon. mmmm!

Enjoy!

Christmas market

So today I got up really early and spent the whole day at a Christmas market. It was a nice change. I had a little stall selling some of my cards and ornaments. 

Sadly I can't say that I made all these lovely things. Aren't they just gorgeous?! 

Creations by Louisa Morris

Have a lovely 3. advent. I'm going to light the 3rd candle now.

Hope you've all had a brilliant weekend!

Easy DIY garland

I'll be trying this tomorrow. It's such a decorative and simple thing to do. 

It doesn't cost much either. Fancy having a go?

I would like to thank Apartment Therapy, Innredningsbloggen and Foreldremanualen for featuring my photos. Big smile! 

Have a lovely weekend! We've got our neighbours coming for dinner tomorrow night and I'm exhibiting at a Christmas marked on Sunday. :) Busy weekend, but it'll be fun.

This spoke to me

today. I love the simplicity in this room and of course the green vintage bench. Simple, but beautiful.

My kind of home

I love the natural colours in this very stylish Italian home. The Jean Prouvé lamp in the kitchen looks great, but I also love the simple kitchen layout. Of course the beams don't look bad either.

I love the picture wall too. 

Thank you so much for your comments yesterday and welcome to new members! 

I'll be back with the new challenge this weekend. 

I've got two sponsors and I'm looking for one more.

Tomorrow we're going to the Christmas sale at Emmaüs (charity shop). Should be fun!

What do you have planned for the weekend?

Jul i vårt hus/ Christmas in our home

With these photos I'm taking part in the Norwegian Interior blogger's challenge "Christmas in our home". We're having a natural Christmas this year, but with quite a few black details. I've wrapped our Christmas presents in brown paper for a long time, but this year I'm also using black and white paper. The vintage bench and the zinc bucket are both recent flea market finds. The star and the little Christmas tree I've sprayed black. The tree was waiting for me in the woods nearby... 

Jeg deltar i utfordringen Jul i vårt hus hos NIB med dette bidraget. 

Det blir helt naturlig hos oss i år, men med en del sorte detaljer. Innpakningen blir ikke bare i gråpapir som har vært tradisjon lenge, men også litt i sort og hvitt. Vintage benken og sink bøtten fant jeg nylig på et loppemarked. Stjernen og det lille juletreet har jeg sprayet sort. Treet stod å ventet på meg i skogen like ved... 

De andre jule bidragene kan du se her hos NIB.

It's on our bathroom door. 

We've got this lovely black and red couple.

They would make a nice Christmas present I think.
