MOVING TO STOCKHOLM ______________

There are some major changes going on that I already told this weekend at my instagram (annaleenashem). We're moving back to Stockholm in January! We have been planning for this move a long time and I t´s going to be very positive, even I love the Swedish west coast where I have been living over 10 years. I´m so exited about moving back to my old home town and not least I´m looking forward to be able to work more as a interior stylist, net working with creative people and getting new work contacts. My online shop annaleena.se/shop moves with us and it will function as usual. I´ll tell you more about the move and our new home later.

ONE PIC_________ diamond

Today´s one pic is the newest picture on the diamond. Can not believe it's been two years soon since the diamond was launched first time in Lotta Agaton shop, happy birthday diamond!

DIY _________ wall cups

My latest super simple diy -wall storage for small things was made of clear plastic cups. You don´t need any instructions, just attach the plastic cups to the wall with strong needles. 

INTERIOR _____________ white retreat

Love this white minimalist 36 square appartment that is furnished with a few carefully selected objects; contemporary artworks, some books, and the owners record. And how the lack of views is compensated by silence and light

ONE PIC ____________ minimal

I´m starting today a new column here on my blog called one pic, inspired by my blogger colleague Emma. This first picture is taken in our bedroom. It represents everything I feel right now. Minimal, Japanese, and tranquility.

INSPIRATION _________________ LINK DECO

I just discovered from Lotta Agaton´s blog that a new agency LINK DECO has been launched in Stockholm. The thing that makes the agency so special is that link deco is the first agency in Sweden solely representing interior photographers and interior stylists. Under the same roof. That´s really awesome news. What a dream for all interior geeks browsing though lots of inspiration, without leaving the website you are on.

YLVA SKARP ___________new

I´ve been posting a lot of stuff from Ylva Skarp lately, but that´s because she has been so productive and launched several fantastic news that I styled for her. Here are pictures from her latest work, styled and photographed by me. Big thanks for assistance to Maria Schenberg. 

DIY _________ marble tube lamp

Remember this and this? I covered now my tube also with a marble printed self-adhesive plastic. I really love the marble look! The lamp got to play a tiny part too in a furniture styling that will show up here soon.

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.

DIY _________ shades of granite

I´m really loving the shades of granite now. I found this fabulous granite spray in a paint shop last week which I made this mini granite diy with. Small granite storage boxes. But I have also prepared another diy that I will show you soon, cant wai´t!
