DEKO __________ housing fair maja

It's always exciting to see where my clothing rails ends up, like here in a really fabulous laundry room in Finland! These pictures are from the Housing Fair Finland 2013, where the Finnish Deko magazine participated this year with their own housing-fair home called Maja. To see more pictures go to Scandinavian deko. The interior was designed by the residents themselves, with the help of Dekos editor-in-chief Ulla Koskinen.

DIY ____________ minimalist cube shelf

Here it comes, the another DIY minimalist cube shelf that I mentioned in the last post. I was also guest blogging with this DIY at Emmas designblogg last week with my try this at home column. This cube shelf that is placed in a corner is not so difficult to do as it seems and the result is so worth it! 

To do the cube shelf you will need 

+One length of 7x7 cm (appr. 3"x3") wood beam (these are usually sold in standard lengths of 240 cm)

+Wood glue

+Small nails

+Hammer

+Metal loops for wall attachment

+White paint

+Screwdriver

Start by cutting 10-12 small squares 7x7x7 cm and one 33 cm long piece from the wooden beam. Paint them all white.

Create two modules made of two cubes glued together, and two modules made of three cubes like in the picture. To make the construction stronger you can use nails, but a strong wood glue should do the trick.

Glue the modules together like in the picture or create your own creative version with the cubes. Paint everything again if some flaking or chipping has occured during the construction. Screw the loops onto the back, use at least two. Use a level when hanging if you want the shelf to be completely straight.

MONDAY SNAPSHOTS __ formex AW1314 _____

Today´s monday snapshots will be some of my pictures from Stockholm Formex interior fair. This year's fair favorites became the stylish and uncluttered work of Kristina Stark and Danish Menu, which had a brilliant collection and the best looking booth! I loved also to visit young designers that are always my favorites with their new thinking and courage that I usually miss at established interior brands.

Back at work again! I´m sitting and planning next week that will be a flying start for a fantastic fall. I will add product launches to my webshop and visit Stockholm Formex Fair at the end of the week. Stockholm is always fun!

So lovely also to see this cool fashion couple "wearing" my pyramids and my diamond at their home!

DIY __________ marble box

I´m crazy about all marble patterned interior details now. Maybe you have seen on my Instagram(annaleenashem) if you follow me there, the picture that I posted few weeks ago of my tube lamp that I covered with self-adhesive plastic marble. I´ll blog more pictures of it soon. It's pretty easy to create marble patterned details using self-adhesive plastic marble. I just made a marble box for my small items of an empty perfyme box. 
Do like this.
Measure and cut out the marble plastic after the size of the box and cover both the inside and outside to get a uniform result. Use the ruler to obtain a smooth surface and remove any air bubbles when the plastic is adhered.

MY WORK __________exhibition room

Last weeks I´ve been really busy working with a event called designwalk13. Designwalk13 was a design event in Varberg which is located in the west coast of Sweden and it was produced by CRED and college event students. The event designwalk13 focused on highlighting local designers and creativity. I acted as creative consultant, held a workshop and made a moodboard to the event. Last but not least I drew the pop-up design exhibition room that was held at the same time with designwalk13. Room was composed of plywood cubes where local designers including me exhibited their designs. This must have been among the most fun and challenging job assignments I've ever done! Although the event is over the pop-up exhibition room remains in the mall Gallerian in Varberg until June 17. You can find the list of the exhibiting designers right below, and information of designwalk13 on their facebook page here.

INTERIOR __________ new addiction

I buy very rarely pillows so when I do, I like them a lot! As this Serholt cushion from Village. It makes me think of the fashion brand Hope which I love, and it feels elegant and easily matches with other pillows.
