Bird decorations…

One of my small projects during last week…. Recognize the beads?

Shop photos…

Monday

In the paper!

There is an article about me and my mini-home in the Danish newspaper “Berlingske tidende” today, it is written by Sara Skarum who found me though this blog. The pictures (in the paper) is by Nicolai Linares.

Once again I’m surprised by how people find this project fascinating, it makes me so flattered. When I first started out two years ago I would never had thought anyone but me would be interested. Seems I was wrong…

I haven’t  done much to the mini-home recently . I’ve  been in a  slow-moving-phase working on the house but things like these makes me really motivated, it is such a wonderful compliment. Now I can’t wait to build something, I’m just not sure what?

Home alone # two

‘

Home alone!

Anders took over the shop this afternoon and I have been having a lovely day at home relaxing.

The light in our apartment is great  in the afternoon so I got inspired and took some random pictures around the house, actually I took a whole lot of random pictures so I’m dividing them into two posts.

This one  is the first!

Wednesday…

Monday ♥

Our kitchen…

While Anders cooked dinner last night I took some pictures of our kitchen. It’s not a very big kitchen but it’s a great one -I love to sit on the kitchen table when I come home at night and talk talk talk while Anders is creating little miracles.

The look of our kitchen is not that thought through. It is a standard Ikea kitchen that was already here when we took over the apartment.  The  colour theme of our pots, pans and kitchen tools are red  -I have been collecting for several years and have quite a collection…

Last night we had a Thai dish with rice and curry -I’m a bit of a curry-addict.

Hope you have had a great Weekend all. -And once again; thank you so much for all your sweet comment, I really appreciate them!

Colourful bathroom walls…

Orange walls at K’s Berlin apartment and mint green walls at my in laws vacation house.

Customized dressing room…

this is the dressing room in my shop… I have just finished the wallpaper-collage-thing going on in there.

When I first opened up the shop I couldn’t decide what the walls should look like so I bought all kinds of different vintage wallpaper. You can go here to see what I ended up choosing back then.

I didn’t have enough of each pattern to fill up the whole dressing room -that’s why I went for patchwork-walls!

Note: A tip for those of  you who might be interrested; this is a shop on Frederiksberg in Copenhagen that stocks authentic wallpapers from the  60ties and 70ties (you have to ask for it, they don’t have it in their showroom). I bought mine five years ago, but they might still have some?

Living in Berlin…

This is K’s cosy Berlin apartment. -Can you blame me for feeling right at home?

A miniature chair and a chair…

Did I ever show you this chair I made for the mini home? -Materials are; cardboard, fabric, the buttem of two plastic picnic glasses and lots of glue…

Wrap it up…

I was thrilled the day I found this old paper-holder on a flea marked; I have been wanting one of these ever since I opened the shop… You don’t come around stuff like this every day…  -Now I just need a new table to match!

My workshop and my Country dream…

My home-office post the other day was very popular -So I thought you might like this… It’s a peek at a corner of my shop where I keep some of the materials I use when I sew.

unfortunately I don’t always feel like I have a enough work space in the shop (besides I get disrupted all the time:), so once in a while I bring home a lot of stuff and fill up our entire apartment with machines, patterns and materials… I like those days!

-I dream of some day to live in a big house somewhere quiet and with a lot of space, space to sew, space to paint, space for building projects, space for hammocks, space enough to build secret caves in the trees, space for hens, space for my own kitchen garden and maybe even space for a dog or two (although dogs usually scare me to death).  -In my dreams this is perfect! -In reality I’m not sure I would be able to adjust. I’m a city girl and have been so all my live…Well I’ll never know if I never try -some day I have to give it a go!

Step into my office!

I have created a little office in the corner of our dining room…

Flea marked find…

I found this poster (-and a few other very useful things) on a flea marked yesterday. My home has become just a little bit to “sweet” lately, so I figure this is exactly what I need to get some roughness and edge around here.
Have a great Monday everyone…

“New” floor…

Friday in my shop

So I planned to take pictures of the floor in my shop today, but how boring is that? Instead I took some random pictures of how things look at the moment…

Hope you all had a nice day.  Happy Pentecost for those who celebrate it…  (-What a crazy word; Pentecost. -Apparently it is an ancient Greek word that means; the fiftieth day after Easter Sunday!… -In Danish we just call it “Pinse”)

-And here in Denmark this Monday is a holiday so the shop is closed and I’m free as a bird, yay!

Cinderella…

I feel like cinderella sometimes; having no time to finish her dress…

There are so many things I would love to spend more time doing and so many people that I don’t see often enough. I know I can’t do it all, and I am already lucky enough to have a job and an everyday-life that I have chosen myself, but right now I just feel like I’m constantly chasing time…

Tomorrow, same time, same place…?

It’s funny how I keep beliving that I’ll have more time tomorrow…  Em -I will be back tomorrow when I have more time…

Wednesday at home

I’m back from my little Prague adventure and it has been a blast. -Now I feel like traveling even more…  I’m dreaming of Berlin, I want to go there by train. I love to travel by train!  And I love Berlin in the Spring… -actually I love Berlin all year round -but Spring makes me wanna go there even more.

I was knocked out by a fever last night, so today I’m in bed feeling not so good. -When you run a self-contained business, being sick is very unfortunate -so today I’m feeling very blessed by having a fantastic friend and helper to jump in and take care of the shop for me…

By the way; did any of you people living in Copenhagen hear the thunder last night?… Wow, It was spectacular!

Waiting for Friday…

I really feel like days are way to short at the moment, so many things I want to do and so little time to do it.

I can’t wait for Friday though; Friday is no doubt the most exciting day of this week.  I am going to Prague on Friday -with the best of friends -YAY!  Niller found these cheep flight tickets a long time ago and decided to buy his friends a little vacation, -how cool is that? I have got the greatest brother in the world…

Now; sofa time! I’m gonna spend the rest of my Wednesday right here on this couch, next to this guy…

I’m back…

Two days away from blogging feels like forever… How are you all -did you have a good weekend?

I’m in such a good mood today, the sky is blue and the world is beautiful…

Normally Tuesday is the crappiest day of the week -but not this Tuesday:

I had morning coffee and sun in the excellent company of my brother…

In the shop I got a lot of organizing and cleaning done…

Anders came after school…  Pretty handsome, huh!

And before closing hour -afternoon sun in the company of friends…

Ps: My good friend -and loyal helper in the shop, Susi (in the middle), are now a part of the blog  family -Go see!

Morning coffee

I love to go out for coffee in the morning.  It is a great way for me to realax and get a good start to the day…

Today is just as grey and rainy as yesterday. -I like it!

Rearranging my minihome

Thank you for your concerns…

Change is good

Our dining room is now our living room. Anders and I have moved around all our furnitures.

We were just going to do some Spring cleaning when we agreed to rearange a bit.  Three days of hard work later and our home looks brand new and shiny…

I have the best contience and I’m exhausted so for the rest of the evening: movies and lots of chocolate.

Not much change in the bedroom except for the night lamps. They are new (actually they’re old, but new to me), found them at the flea marked on Samsø.

And there are few new Wedding pictures in the collection -still more to come though….

In the middle og Denmark, part two.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sigga, I’m thinking of you today:)

Living room interior

Arrhg… My neighbours are playing CRAZY loud (not that good) music and I’m slowly turning into one of those very angry people that I never really understood until now…

Love and Marriage

I was looking through old pictures and I found this one of my brother (Niller) my sister (Sigga) and I. The picture is taken  in “Kongens have” , a park in Copenhagen right next to where we grew up. I’m the little one in the middle. The three of us have always been a great team.

Another project of mine,  from the endless list, is a collection of bridal couples on their wedding day -couples that I am somehow raleted to.

So far it dosen’t look like much, but I have just had my grandma on the phone and now my collection is gonna  grow bigger very soon…  You’ll get the details and close-ups when the “exhibition” expands. For now this is what you get:-)

Still working on the web-shop, getting closer though…
