CRAZY ABOUT PILLOWS

The Danish photographer Kirsten Stigsgaard thinks and sees patterns while taking pictures.

Her pillows are full of life and these ones look so fresh, I can almost smell the ocean.

You can buy her photographs on her website and print it on whatever you like.

MUUTO BY MATTIAS STAHLBOM

"LESS IS MORE"

I bought for my walk-in closet a yellow Muuto light. I really like the simplicity of their design and my light will look so cool in the small room. If I would use it in a bigger room I would combine few more Muuto lights and mix the colors. 

Muuto is a modern Danish design company, you can buy their design in several online design stores.

BEAUTIFUL LAMBSKIN

Unique Eco Icelandic lambskin- Rust Brown

Eco Icelandic lambskin-White

Icelandic lambskin has been very important raw material since in our colonisation,

but in our time they have a new important role.

They are used as a decorative object for our homes, and they have never been as popular.  

They can fill your home with such a warmth that you can melt down.

They look so cool on your sofa, floor or on a footboard.

I totally couldn´t live without mine, they are my precious!

These lambskins  are extremely beautiful and they have gone threw an environmental friendly tannage.

COOL BACHELOR APPARTMENT

The boys can do it too!  

This cool apartment is in Norway. 

I love the big Playboy posters in the kitchen and the living room, they fill the apartment with a certain charm and a statement that here lives a cool guy.

I love posters and photograps, they can do so much for your home.

If you have a favorite magazine cover it is easy to frame it and put on your wall.

Here is an old entry with this idea:

DIY THIS WEEK

I really love this kind of a coffee table, it´s pretty easy and affordable to make and is so cool. The only thing you need is a pallet, 4 wheels, varnish and a glass plate or a perspex plate.

I wood prefer the glass plate, it´s more expensive but I think it will look better and it serves you longer.

Go ahead and do it your self!
