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

Eco Icelandic lambskin-Gray Speckled

Unique Eco Icelandic lambskin- Rust Brown

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

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.

COOL BACHELOR APPARTMENT




Images: Bonytt.no


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!
