A place to relax

Stairway to Heaven

I live in a one story house. There isn't much need of a stairway, so to speak. Still - I love them. Especially wrought iron ones. Old ones. Like these:

DIY med en gren, lite snören och annat smått och gott

Veckans sista quick tips med grenar och kvistar. För tillfälliga arrangemang eller mer permanenta lösningar. Det behöver inte vara mer komplicerat än så här att förnya ett rum, en balkong, ett uterum. Lycka till!

This weeks last quick fix using nature's own materials like branches in new places and combinations. Happy weekend.

DIY - Simple quick fixes for your home

In this pic from Lincoln Barbour, with lots of items from Ikea, 
is a nice example of mixing nature and lamps. 
Like Cez pointed out in her comment to the previous post, 
this may be a safer way, unless you mix LED lights with your branches, of course.
Below - no lamps are involved.
Decorating doesn't get much simpler than this.

DIY - Bedroom lamp with a green touch

Need some light but is out of lamps? Grab a bushy branch, add a bulb and a cord, and you've got a very trendy chandelier. There are more pics from this beautiful house over at the casalil blog. Enjoy.

Fine line decoration

I am back at my desk, after a weekend of teaching. I really love these intense weekends, when we talk interior design and homestaging around the clock (it seems).

Inspired by our discussions, I will focus this weeks posts on the use of branches and twigs to make an eye catching arrangement. This picture is from the Abingdon 12 Gallery in West Village, New York. Note the owner Paul Caddell’s use of all linear shapes: the painting, the sculptures, the pendel and floor lamp etc. Well thought ought and executed. Beautiful. Go to the gallery for more inspiration.

Trendy green - nu är det smaragdgrönt som gäller.

Idag har jag pratat homestaging hela dagen. Där gäller det att utifrån en bostads befintliga möbler och andra inredningsdetaljer, skapa en visningsmiljö som på absolut bästa sätt visar upp ett hus eller lägenhets fulla potential. Rätt så ofta gäller det att "tagga ner" färger och mönster som själ uppmärksamheten från det som skall säljas. Som smaragdgrönt. Även om denna kulör (NSC 3050-G20Y) är den allra trendigaste just nu, är den inte alldeles lätt att använda. Utomhus? Nja, kanske liiiite för intensiv, kanske tar död på den naturliga grönskan, Men kanske på en asfalterad innerstadsgård?  Vågar du? 



Smaragdgrönt passar bäst till olika blågröna eller gulgröna nyanser, färger som ligger nära varandra i färgcirkeln.

Blogspotting: Méchant Design

Blogger (my blog host) have had technical problems and like all my blogger friends I have not been able to post anything for a while. But now (fingers crossed), things seems to be back to normal.
Yesterday I wanted to tell you about a post over at the blog Méchant Design, where the owner Cez had gathered a series pics of of great shelves/book cases. Now that post is (temporarily?) gone, but here are some samples of what was there: three DIY shelves made out of old wood. Check out Cez great blog here.
