waiting...

Image from IKEA

SO looking forward to the 2012 IKEA catalogue!!! :) Within the next few days-weeks it should arrive at my door! :) Wohoo! Supposedly a lot about storage - thank God!

Jamie's 30 minute meals

Maybe this can cause my food and cooking inspiration to come back! Would guess so! Coming out in Swedish in a few days and has been out in English for about a year(?) Anyways, new to me. I stumbled across an episode of the tv-show just now - thank goodness! :) And I think heaps (if not all?) recipes are also on his website. Here's what I saw today.

and while we were at it...

J didn't really come home empty handed either... although the dust it is for me :) Miracle stuff ;)

Mood board #09 - ready for baby

4 days till due date. Please baby, be on time! :)

new, new & new

So we went to IKEA the other day and now we've got a new pendant for the kitchen table (unsprayed as of yet and maybe we'll keep it this way? Kind of looks light (light) grey with all the white-white around...) and a big chest of drawers in the wardrobe. The drawers take a lot of space but then they give a lot of it too! So definitely worth it. And it's white :) of course.

And now I have somewhere to put all our cute baby clothes! Perfect! Ahh, can't W A I T! :) And here's how the wardrobe looked before.

for the kitchen table

I'm so definitely doing this! But I want my kitchen table pendant to be a light, soft, matte grey colour :) Well done IKEA!

Can't WAIT! :)

I ordered this book today and I just can't wait for it to arrive! Now I know what to spend this summer doing! :) It's a cookbook about edible goodies that are perfect as gifts. And I would expect amazing pictures and wrapping ideas, based on how absolutely gorgeous the writer's original blog is :) Linnéas Skafferi - the place to be. (Translates "Linnéa's Pantry")

For all my list-making needs

A board painted with magnetic paint and chalkboard paint. And then maybe a nice frame around. White of course. Just perfect and precisely what I need! :) Oh, and: note to self!

Btw, I wouldn't mind the Kitchen Aid either... :)

What would you have/do you have in yours that you love? :)

Dior FW 10/11

I just have to post about these dresses by John Galliano for Christian Dior. I find them quite brilliant, you see.

Gingerbread cookie houses

How adorable are these?? :) I'll have to try making something similar some day... Note to self.

Thoughts of a dream

Definitely something I'd consider for our bedroom wall. With the fairy lights, obviously. But not black letters, probably.

Capetured

How lovely is this wool cape? :) Aww... I've posted about capes before and I'm even more into them now!

This is me tonight.

On the couch, glued to the latest issue of (one of) my fav home+decorating magazines, Swedish Allt i Hemmet. Nothing quite beats it. A new magazine that is.

It is a christmas special. Needless to say, I loooong for Christmas by now. Ha! My head is full of inspiration and ideas and plans. Traditionally non-traditional. At least it makes sense in my head. More about that... when we get a little bit closer. Let's now enjoy A U T U M N, yes? :)

L O V E

Something I threw together in PS... :) Maybe something for our empty white walls. What do you think? Love colours!

Concrete

Hello again :) Pause over? Play pressed? Maybe, and maybe not. Anyways, I just really wanted to show you a recent project of ours. As well as save it for myself. A concrete top for our tv bench. I love the way it turned out so great! :)

More of this definitely coming up in the future! I've been browsing google image search for a while [read: hours] and now I'm bursting with new inspiration!

Lager 157

If you are in Sweden, look this way! :) I so like this! It's like a warehouse clearance sales place... and they focus on sustainable, honest, green business. At low, competitive prices. Well, it's all on their website, unfortunately in Swedish only, but if you can, do check it out! :)

Mismatch

Look how beautifully gorgeous! :) It's like the rule for setting this table was the more mix+mismatch the better! :) I think I need to go second hand shopping for a bit... :)

Oups!

I didn't see these before! Oh well, they, too, are now on their way! :) Same as these only a different colour. Bring on the flowers! :)

A good bargain

Between work and a, nowadays mandatory, trip to a nearby lake, I managed to squeeze in some shopping :) It's Nelly that has started their summer sale early for "facebook-VIPs". The official sale starts on Friday July 2nd. I clicked home a few goodies.
