FORMEX _____________





A week ago I was in Stockholm at Formex interior design fair and here comes my pictures from the fair! One of my favorites at the fair was the exhibition of twelve design students selected by Formex. The industrial tea set 'Silent Machine' was designed by Korean designer Eunjae LeeAnother exiting product were these wooden bowls made by talented German Christoph Finkel, this is my friends pure design and genuine craftsmanship. I hope to see more of his work soon!

DIY / candle holder





I love to add the rough garage feeling and metal expression in the interior. Perhaps that´s why I started to use these common hexagon nuts
that I bought from a harware store as candle holders. Ok, this has to be the most simple DIY that I have made so far. All you need is big hexagon nut and a candle -done!

INTERIOR ________ PROJECT/BEDROOM





A month ago we decided to switch sleeping rooms with our oldest daughter. But like always, it's easier to make decisions than get it done! The floor was worn so we repainted it white. This time I wanted to have very simple and calm decor in the bedroom. No unnecessary things, but only the most necessary. The bed will be placed in the middle of the room. My round clothing hanger on the left side and my old magazines will work fine as bedside tables. Coming up later with an update when the room is ready!

INSPIRATION _______ FROM FINLAND






This weekend I was in Finland in my hometown Tampere doing a story about a lovely new knitting store called Kerä and 
photographed one of the owners Jonna Hietalas home who has the blog musta tuntuu.  It´s so inspiring to see when two real DIY women comes together and will start a shop together! Hurray Jonna and Elina and good luck to your new knitting shop! I will come back soon!

MINIMALIST_________ HOTEL






 I just stumbled over these pictures of a design hotel/hostel called Goli+Bosi that is in Croatia and I had to post them immediately. I´ve never been in Croatia but will definitely stay here when I´m going there. Everything is so consistent and minimalistic, bold choice I think.

MONDAY SNAPSHOTS__________COPENHAGEN PART II





I tought it´s time for part II now from my Copenhagen visit so here it comes! Day after blog´nhagen  Emma Fexeus and I went around in Copenhagen on our own and picked out some more favorite spots in that beautiful city! The first interior store we visited was a store called stilleben, which is very scandinavian and form strong interior design store located central in Copenhagen, so proud to tell also that stilleben is the store in Copenhagen that sell´s my products.



Another great shop where we stopped by was Hay´s flagship store, everything in the shop was only Hay´s own products. 
Graphic, Danish, and always playful!



Store or a creativ working space that is really worth a visit is a tile store called Dahl studio. They makes and sell the most stunning 
tiles and floor clinker that I have seen.


The two last images comes from a place you will see more photos later, in another context. All I can say right now is that it belongs 
to one of Denmark's top stylists, and that it will be a big hit when it opens.

INSPIRATION_______PLASTIC






This is not a real DIY, just wanted to post some pictures of my new storage solution -this plastic case. I got it when I bought a new
 pillow some days ago. Once again I was reminded how much fun we can do with things that we already have!  (DIY wooden hanger)

DECOR _______ SUMMER PINBOARD





Hi, I'm still here! Even my summer days are busy with barbecues and time with friends and family I had some time 
to pick up our new gorgeous family member, a print from play type that I bought in Copenhagen! 
For some more summer inspiration, few weeks ago I was asked to be a guest judge in a pinterest challenge by Remodelista to create 
Scandi summer pinboard. You can see my motivation for the choice of the winner and other lovely summer pinboards here.

COPENHAGEN PART I _____BLOG´NHAGEN




About a week ago I got the opportunity to be part of a blog-meet up called Blog´nhagen. It was a sponsored blog-meet up arranged by these amazing ladies Brittany and Maria. The whole idea/concept was to bring together these bloggers from Europe and experience Copenhagen by visiting the sponsors with golf carts from by cart!  It was so fun! I was traveling with sweetest Emma from Emma's Design blog and stayed at Kong Arthur hotel which is located very centrally in Copenhagen. 


We started the day picking up our breakfest from Meyers Bageri and drove on to Marias place who was one of the talented 
event ladies behind Blog´nhagen. I love her appartment and simple bedroom! You can see more about her home soon at Dos family. 


Later during the day we tested to paint our own china plates at Royal CopenhagenAnd ate lovely lunch at the café below 
called the Royal Cafe. We visited Vipp´s showroom and I fell totally in love with their gorgeous new VIPP kitchen. High quality 
straight through. As always from VIPP.



Some other sponsors we visited was famous Danish chocolatiere Jesper Rahbek at A Xoco and he learned oss to make our own "flødeboller" that is a Danish chocolate specialty! I'd also like to give thanks to the fashion house baum und pferdgarten, the first image on this post is from their flag ship store and rest of the sponsors who made this event possible! Day after blog´nhagen me and Emma went around in Copenhagen on our own and picked out some more favorite places. So Copenhagen part II coming up soon!

MAGAZINE ____________ RUM





When I was in Copenhagen at the blog meet-up Blog´nhagen, I bought my favorite interior magazine Danish RUM where my products

I'm off to edit those images!
