I would have never guessed that I one day couldn't do without. That fresh, warm cup of coffee in the morning.

THAT MORNING CUP OF COFFEE
↧
SUDDENLY
Plutselig, plutselig passet den. Et lite bruktfunn fra Polarn O Pyret, plukket opp på Finn for et og et halvt år siden. Utrolig at tiden har gått så fort. Jeg er forundret, glad og veldig fornøyd over at jeg kom på den før det var for sent, der den lå glemt/gjemt på loftet.
----------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly it fits! A good thing I remembered it in storage up in the attic. The coolest sweater from Polarn O.Pyret, thrifted one and a half year ago.

Feber, `vondt`er` og hodepine herjer hos oss. Jeg hadde glemt hvor forferdelig det er å være syk mamma til sykt barn. Midt oppe i generell misnøye og kaos har det også vært noen lyspunkter. Som å gjøre litt ekstra utav av maten. Se på pippi på dataen. Og å male litt på et gammelt lerret.
Her er ti fra oss.
1. Dens siste dager. Vase Boblen av Finn Schjøll.
2. Grove vafler til frokost. Med "flagg".
3. Leking i stedet for spising.
4. Maling.
5. "Hello Kitty"
6. Middag. Fiskekaker, gulrøtter, poteter og kålrabi på spyd. Tallerken fra Stavangerflint.
7. Foto av hverandre.
8. "The miffys"
9. Close up.
10. Vår helt. Pippi.

This weekend we`ve been home sick. But luckily there's been some good moments as well.
Over are 10 pics from the last days.

FEATURED IN KAMILLE MAGAZINE
Images: Ann Beate Sandy
Stas og glede over å få være med i Kamille nr.6 med min vårlige stue.
Her forteller jeg litt om meg selv, mitt vår-inspirerte interiør og hva jeg tenker om årets trender. Håper jeg kan være med å inspirere deg!
So happy to be featured in the Norwegian magazine Kamille with my livingroom. The theme is Spring and you can read about me, what inspires me, the trends of 2014 and my love for interior & design.

LIVINGROOM - DETAILS AND CLOSEUPS
Det har vært så gøy å vise frem stuen min i Kamille. Kanskje ville du ha sett litt nærmere på bildene?
Hehe, jeg er vel ikke vond å be. Her kommer et lite bildedryss med mer detaljer og info:
Jeg har soverom og stue i ett, noe som fungerer helt utmerket når man bor i en liten leilighet. Min dagseng / sofa / seng er en 140 rammemadrass fra Skeidar. For å gjøre den lunere har jeg laget en sengegavl trukket med ullstoff. Beina i stål er malt i en matchende farge og mine elskede vintage settbord i teak ( bruktfunn) gjør nytten som både stuebord og nattbord. For å dele inn "sove delen" av stuen har jeg "market av området" med et stort gulvteppe i ull. Min kjære, kjære Inbetween chair, er designet av danske &Tradition.
.jpg)
Overmadrassen har for anledningen fått et vakkert vintage dynetrekk plukket opp i en gjenbruksbutikk. Det geometriske teppet er i fra Ferm Living, mitt kjære telefonrør fått på fjordårets Bloggbliss og boka er Norwegian Icons. Full av vakker, norsk, vintage interiør- og møbeldesign.
.jpg)
Jeg elsker å lage ting selv. Trykkene på veggen er kunst av undertegnende og putene er og selvlaget. DIY, fremgagsmåte kan du lese om her: mint/grå fargede ullputen og den "halv mane" puten. Den hvit/svarte- geomertiske puten har jeg vært så heldig å vinne av Snedig Snelle.
.jpg)
I vinduet henger en "pimpet" blomsterpotte i hjemmelaget macramé. Planter opp i høyden er ikke feil.
.jpg)
I vinduskarmen min elskede VP lampe i sort.
Friske blomster i vaser fra Kheler og boksen med det rare i. En liten skatt, Frame fra By Lassen.

Fargene gult og mint er med meg i år, De gjør meg så glad! Her gjenspeilt i Kaleido-fatene fra Hay og den skjønne lille te-koppen fra Palais des Thès.
.jpg)
Boblen Mini i metal fra Magnor Glasverk er en annen vårlig favoritt på bordet omdagen.
.jpg)
Kunstbøker, søte karameller og te i vintage porcelen,"Sissel" kopp fra Figgjo.

Og helt til slutt et lite selvportrett med kvinnen bak det hele.
Det var et hjørne av stuen min det. Håper bildene falt i smak.
Fin torsdag til deg!
Some more pictures from my little livingroom/bedroom in one. I love colors and mint/yellow is my favourites for the moment. I love the combination of cool vintage furniture mixed with modern design. Thrifted items and offcourse DIY. Like the headboard, the flowerpot, macrame`, the pillows and the art ont the wall. Follow the links under the Pictures to find out more.

BLOOMING
2 uker og vel så det har den holdt ut. Min rosa ranukkel, eneste overlevende fra en blomsterbukett. Den er altså så fantastisk vakker! Og jeg har endt opp med å flytte med meg vasen fra kjøkkenet til stuen og tilbake igjen, alt ettersom hvor jeg skal oppholde meg lenge.
Hverdagsglede det.
Such a beauty. My little flower, the last survivor from two weeks back. I ve ended up moving it from the livingroom, into the kitchen and back again.. where i go, it goes.
Everyday joy!

SIMPLE STYLING
Photo: Ann-Beate Sandy
Nanino var så heldig å få feire fire årsdagen sin på pappas kontor. Det var ikke så mye som skulle til for å lage en god stemning. Partyhatter, papirduk med tegnestifter, blomster, ballonger og en vimpelrekke. Og tallet 4, teipet rett på veggen for det lille ekstra.
We celebrated her turning 4 at dads office. It didn't need mush preparing. I used fresh flowers, party hats, a paper tablecloth with crayons, some balloons, bunting and washitape for the number 4.
It turned out pretty ok!

FOTO I INTERIØRET / NIB CHALLENGE
Foto: Ann-Beate Sandy
Jeg er en stor fan av foto i interiøret. Foto er med på å gjøre et hjem personlig og ekte. Bilder man tar selv og fotokunst, er også et flott alternativ til malerier og trykk på veggen. Over er to øyeblikks bilder jeg er veldig glad i. Bildene er printet ut på fotopapir og limt opp på capa-plater.
Jeg elsker sjelfulle, poetiske bilder som man kan drømme seg bort i. Jeg har flere bilder jeg kunne tenke meg å printe ut og må derfor bli med i denne månedens NIB konkurranse, "foto i interiøret" hvor man kan vinne gavekort hos FotoKuntsen.

HOMEMADE DRESS
Foto: Ann-Beate Sandy
Jeg elsker når den kommer over meg. Sygleden. Som for litt siden da jeg eeendelig fikk satt meg ned å laget en enkel kjole til Nanino i ull. Stoffrester fra sengegavlen og putene, innkjøpt på Panduro. Oppskriften er hentet ut fra boken barneklær på 1-2-3, skrevet av Marie Aanensen " Tante Mie" som også er innehaver av sybutikken Tante Mie i Haugesund.

HAPPY EASTER
Påsken er her! Ferie, masser av kos med min lille, solskinn i byen og generell god stemning. Påskepynt er også på plass. Over er det en påskestylet Kubus bowl fra ByLassen som er i fokus. De har en IG konkuranse gående og jeg må bare prøve lykken, for en stor Kubus står høyt på ønskelisten!
Easter s all around and I am in a great Easter mood these days! Fresh flowers, holidays, sunshine and at lot of fun with my little one, good days in Oslo. Makes me happy. Joining the ByLassen Kubus bowl - IG competition with these pics. Loving my green Kubus bowl and dreaming of his big Brother.

Hello Blog
Foto: Ann Sandy
Its been a while. My focus the last 6th months has been elsewhere. Work and life as a single mom have taken all my energy. Now finally things has gotten easier and I want to get back to my wonderful online world in here. So full of inspiration and joy when having the time and energy to visit. Missed all of you and my co-bloggers out there.
Hope you had a great summer. Mine has been quite amazing. All the summer criteria was fulfilled.
Smile.

HJEMMEKONTORET / WORKSPACE / NIB - CHALLENGE
Much have happened in the apartment the last couple of months. For example I `ve painted the windowsills white. White!
I am over the moon about this. The wonderful light that fills my home is truly amazing.
I took some photos the other day of my little work space in the corner of my living-room, and with them I am joining this months NIB-challenge "Work Space". Because my living room is small, my loving vintage teak - desk won the battle over my tv, that now has to live under my bed. Haven`t regretted that decision since!

I am over the moon about this. The wonderful light that fills my home is truly amazing.
I took some photos the other day of my little work space in the corner of my living-room, and with them I am joining this months NIB-challenge "Work Space". Because my living room is small, my loving vintage teak - desk won the battle over my tv, that now has to live under my bed. Haven`t regretted that decision since!
In front of the desk is the &Traditions "In between chair" proudly in its place. On top is a thrifted plantpot and a curio shelf I remade with some cobber and black spray paint. Same with the Ikea frame on the wall, originally silver. The black lamp is a Flowerpot designed by Verner Panton. In the left corner 3 pieces of the Fiducia - vases. The white rug is too long for the space so for now its blandly rolled up in the corner.
To the right of the desk a new carped found its way home. Its called Riverstone from Bohus. In the window a little thrifted gem, an old brass bowl with suspension. Perfect for a little plant. The teak tables are also thrifted. On the windowsill Milk lamp from &Tradition.

To the right of my desk I've tried to cover all the internet cables etc with old interior magazines, my sub woofer and green plants. The candle holder on top is Kubus designed by danish By Lassen. My pink, grey and yellow painting also got a makeover where i saved some and repainted the rest with the lovely color Jade by Jotun. In love with that color!
I am so happy to be back in the blog sphere and exited about this months NIB challenge. For more workspace inspiration check out the rest of the partisipents in the competition.

IKEA CATALOUGE LAUNCH 2015
Finally it is here!
This afternoon me and my little partner in crime joined the Ikea catalouge 2015 launch here in Oslo.
Ikea is unique with its spectacular catalouge launches and I was exited to see what they would come up with this year.
This years theme is "Bathroom and bedroom", and they really styled the place in a cool way.
Were talking what must be the biggest shower in the world, off course in cobber, a giant clothes hanger, princess on the pea - bed with a huge ladder and a little house inside the house with beds and cool accessories.
Home with us, we got a big yellow special box filled with things to make our mornings better.
No morning without coffee! And I loved the idea put together by my talented friend Design Lykke, to use the box as a morning surprise-box for my little one. Put her clothes in it, with a toy or two, hide it in the house and make her search for it in the mornings. A cool start of the day, hopefully she will find it fun and encouraging to go treasure hunting & dress herself.

SERVING TRAY
Photo: Ann Sandy
I was in need of a serving tray and found this one with a stand at Bohus. It serves as a bedside table/sofa table for now. And it will also come in handy when friends and family come over. Pleased with that!
Made my day.

ILLUSTRATOR JONNA FRANSSON
Did you notice the cool poster over my desk? I love my new poster Birds, given to me by the talented illustrator Jonna Fransson. The poster is printed in a limited edition of 605 copies on an uncoated high quality paper. I find the beautiful illustrations so poetical and well done. The natural feel to it all, really pleases my arty senses. Jonna Fransson is also the illustrator behind thees ones:

HAPPY WEEKEND
Photo: Ann Sandy
Weekend is on! We are out in the countryside for some fresh air and a Farmers Market festival. Love my life in the city but being able to spend some time out of the city is important too. Fresh green grass under my feet. Wild flowers and berries. Farm animals and warm cuddles. That special smell of forest and fields.
What are you up to this weekend?
Over is some new scarves and purse i got the other day. I am such a scarfs person and use them all the time. Thank you so much for hooking me up, the team at Beck Söndergaard Norway!

Oh those sweet late summer days! Made an interior blogger go wild. ;)
Me: Remade vintage dress and belt. Scarf from Beck Söndergaard, Shoes from Khrio. Earings from Pilgrim. Gold watch borrowed from my mom.
Nanino: My moms homemade little dress. She even weaved the fabric she sewed it from! Wow! I am ever so thankful.

ELEPHANT-PIGGYBANK
Thrifted last week. For 70kr. Not bad for a pretty pricey antique shop in the middle of the city.
And yes.
Made my heart skip a beat.

I am so happy and thankful to work with such a great team of photographers and interior stylists.
