Over the years I’ve seen bunting flags many many times. I’ve seen photos of them in all colours, forms and uses all over the blog world. Every now and then new ideas, tutorials and inspirational photos pop up. And somehow they are like cupcakes and owls to me – I just don’t tire of them. […]

Hang your Own Artwork on the Wall
The walls that surround me are always filling with things from my drawing board. They are similar to my mind and my work desk; full of many different ideas, colours and forms. They are in different stages, some not quite finished yet but up on the wall to inspire me further. My walls are like […]
DIY Wedding – theme colors is black and white!
I don’t know if Martha Stewart would approve with black and white as the theme colors of a wedding? It is not among her color choices anyway. Nah, she prefers pink, emerald, aqua, pastel and cream white… dough! But for my cool friend Maris and her biker fiancé the b/w was perfect! It was black […]

Not on my wall yet
I’ve started to notice other peoples walls lately, and what they hang there – maybe because I do art to hang on the wall myself? Or maybe because see things differently now? I look much closer, and gather ideas on artists that I find interesting and home decoration, in my mind. Sometimes I even have […]
Are you a Shabby Chic chick?
It’ sad, so sad, but this week I’m gonna have to return the book Shabby Chic by Rachel Ashwell to the library! I’ve re-loaned it three times (which is the limit) and read it through and looked at the pictures with yearning many times. (But if I blog about it, I might be able to […]
