INSPIRATION ______ Transparent Picture Frame

I´m having a serious crush right now for interior stuff made of plastic and perspex! I just love the transparent and light feeling with the material and that you can see throug it. Like when used acrylic meny holder as a picture frame for my boy´s initials, it looks like the characters almost floats in the air. I love that!

DIY _______ advent calendar

My advent calendar became this year really simple again! Even the first calendar dates are already opened, I still wanted to show you what I did, I call it -one day at a time calendar. I think it's never too late to start making this one!

DEKO MAGAZINE+shop

Sorry it's been so quiet here on the blog lately! But I promise I have had some really nice reasons for it! I´ve been working with some new products that will arrive to my shop next week, as lamp shades (show you them later) and these candle holders in steel and brass. I can't believe it's already the season! But now is the time to start thinking about Christmas! So just as a reminder the delivery time for international shipping during the holiday season can take longer time so I recommend that you place your order soon if you would like your orders to arrive before 24th December. You can also set the recipients' address to other than yours so we can directly ship what you purchase to your friends and family worldwide! One more thing, my Christmas home is featured in the latest Finnish Deko magazine that is out now, but more of it later! Now I just want to wish you all a wonderful first advent sunday!

DIY__________magazine holder

One of my secret addiction is magazines. And since I have tons of magazines at home and soon running out place to stash them, I always try to come up new ways to store them! Here is a magazine holder that I made ​​of metal wire but you can also use some other strong string or rope to do it. This magazine holder does not actually take a lot of time and it's very unexpensive! Goood luck!

INTERIOR _________faye toogood

The most difficult question that I get sometimes is what is trendy right now or not. Sure we are all inspired by others but I belive that true creativity begins in the heart and from a freedom of thought where everything is allowed. Therefore, there is no right and wrong when it comes to art and furnishings. Like Faye Toogood the incredibly talented British interior designer who creates interior design with courage and curiosity. All of her pieces are handmade by small-scale fabricators and traditional artisans, with an honesty to the rawness and irregularity of the chosen material. Her interior design shows the way away from trend slavery and current trends. What she creates is freedom from all that is allowed or not!
