DIY: 4 creative ways to decorate your Easter Eggs

Easter is here, and if you'd like to try some new decorations around the house, shop or office, here are some egg-ideas worth trying. Even when I don't have time for much else, I always like to try out new ways of decorating my Easter eggs. Here are a few I want to test this year. 

First out are these drilled and waxed beauties, which I found here:

OK, maybe drilling and waxing is a wee bit too complicated for me...  
I think I'll decorate my eggs using somewhat simpler techniques. 
Like Dip Dye, which I found here and here (bottom set):


... using natural dye from berries, herbs, onions and veggies:


Isn't this great? Decorating eggs by attaching leaves before dipping them in dye. I found these images and useful step-by-step instructions here

This is what you can do with them to spruce up your Easter decorations. 


I found these clever ideas at an Estonian website called Teip,
where you can order more washi tape, if you are out of stock. 




PS: är det bara jag som tycker att den svarta 
etiketten/servettringen ovan ser ut som en fästing? ;-)

Going up - inspirational stairs


I must admit - I see stairs and stairways as a piece of sculpture. 
The zig-zag structure in concrete, steel, iron, wood etc.
Timeless, sturdy, elegant. I'll take them all, thank you.

Rustic and refined in lakefront Barn living


The skeleton of the house is outlined inside in reclaimed wood. 
The 2,900-square-foot house is a beautiful blend of rustic and refined.

Both designer and clients wanted to respect what was already on site, 
from the buildings to the landscape to the overall scheme.
