Adding deep blue color to a monochrome space

This may not be wabi sabi, in the strictest sense, but as an artist, and lover of color, I enjoy seeing what a touch of color can do to an otherwise monochrome or all natural interior. Here - a deep, blue shade. Ink blue, almost black. Rather beautiful, don't you think?

Nothing beats great quality.... ?

Autumn. Time for a cosy fire in the stove. Be sure to pick only the best firewood... (Just for laughs) Lots of stylish inspiration on how to store firewood here

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.

And finally - the simplest way: just boil the eggs in all shades of naturally dyed water. I found these pictures here (top left) and here and here (bottom). Good luck!

DIY: Creative Washi Tape Easter Decorations

Still got some fun rolls of japanese washi tape laying around?

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? ;-)
