{ DIY: Headboard! }

When I showed you the pallet ideas yesterday, I also promised you that I would show you what I have used my pallets for. So without further introduction - meet our new headboard!I´m actually quite pleased with the result, but I´m not sure if I should paint them or not. What do you think? I´m thinking either black or white. I kind of like this natural color as well....So what do you think? You can

{ Our living room }

I promised you that I would show you some more pictures of our living room, and now that everything is in its place I have snapped some pictures...As you can see it´s not very colorful but from time to time I add colors using colorful flowers. The magazines on the ladder are also bringing some color into our living room.I hope you like my new living room, and that it gave you some inspiration.

{ Enjoying the weekend }

Hello you, and hello Sunday! The sun is shining and it seems like it´s going to be a wonderful day here in Oslo today! Our weekend is all about the World Cup event (which is in Oslo now), enjoying the great weather and eating freshly baked cinnamon rolls. I also got some new interior magazines that I´m enjoying - the weekend couldn´t be more perfect!I also made these cappuccinos with hearts on.

{ KitchenAid love }

A few days ago I got the KitchenAid Mixer that I actually got for Christmas. I told my fiancé that he should wait buying it until it was on sale. So yesterday I had to bake some chocolate cupcakes and celebrate that it´s finally here. Oh joy!If somebody in Norway wonders where you can buy it for a more affordable price, you can check out Komplett.no Hopefully I'll have time to bake more

{ DIY: New striped pot! }

You have probably noticed that I like Tine K's striped cups as I have them everywhere. The reason that I'm mentioning them is that they were actually the inspiration for this new pot-cover that I have knitted... Black and white stripes it is!I love knitting as long as the object that I'm making is easy and only takes one(!) evening. This is exactly one of those projects *smile*Thank you so much

{ My kitchen }

Since I blogged about "Spring feeling" yesterday, I thought I would show you that I actually have a brought spring into my kitchen as well...I got some gorgeous yellow tulips from a dear friend this weekend, and they certainly gave our kitchen a fresh look. Let´s say that I´ve started a bit early with my Easter decoration *smile*Oh, I love this Savon soap so much! This one was actually a

{ One shelf, two looks! }

Hello everybody! Today I would like to show you how different it looks only by changing colors on a few elements. I have used my home-made kitchen shelf as an example to demonstrate how different it can be...In my first example I´ve used a cold blue/light turquoise and in the image below I´ve used a warm yellow. I only changed a couple of elements, but as you can see it looks quite

{ Moodboard - truly inspiring! }

As I've told you before; I love to get inspired by moodbords. Usually I make them on a table and take pictures of it, but this time I've made one using a canvas so I can have it over my desk. I used pins and tape to put everything on its place, this way I can easily change the moodboard if I want it to look different.I've attached a wire to the canvas, so I can hang stuff that I find inspiring as

{ My new feminine home office! }

I've done some changes in my home office again, and this time I wanted it to be more feminine and bright. This is how it turned out...An easy way to get a feminine look in your home office is to add feminine stationery with girly colors and patterns. Or you can even make a moodboard like I have done here with inspirational photos from magazines and other inspirational objects you love. Decorative

{ Little by little... }

Things are starting to fall into place after having packed up everything from our shipment from LA. It was quite a job, but it was great to see all our things again. I have missed many of the small details that made it homey in our apartment in Los Angeles, e.g my homemade "Home Sweet Home"- pillow,sheep furs, my Coca Cola wooden crate, books, pictures etc.Our sofa table and dining table has also

{ Morning glory }

{ DIY: Chalkboard }

Oh, hello Friday! My favorite day of the hole week is finally here! I promised you the other day that I would show you my latest DIY project, and here it is! I simply painted over an old painting with chalkboard paint and I painted the frame white (I promise you that the painting wasn´t worth anything. You can see a before picture of it here if you like.) The text "home sweet home" is made in

{ 7 ways to use a wooden crate! }

Wooden crates are a great way to bring rustic wood into our homes in a decorative way, and I bet quite many of you have them already. Crates can be used in many ways and I have 7 ideas for you here today... You can view some more pictures on how you can use wooden crates here if you like.Do you have crates in your home?

{ Before and after }

Last week I bought some brass candle holders and a orange pot at a goodwill store here in Oslo. I love bargains and I love making things more beautiful, so I spray painted them all white.This is how my "new" candle holders and pot look like after the makeover... I´m so happy with the result! What do you think?You can see the "before" pictures and other pictures of the candle holders here if you

{ New home office details }

I have done a few changes in my home office because I wanted it to be more cute and girly, and not so rough. I have therefore added some hints of soft purple together with my homemade knitted "pot".The office has now a more feminine look, which I like a lot. At least for now... *smile*   You can see how it looked like before the changes here. Thank you for visiting me! Enjoy your day.Images: Nina

{ DIY: Wooden letter }

This has to be the easiest DIY project I´ve ever done, but still a good "money saving" project. I had some wooden plank leftovers after the shelf that I recently made, so I simply glued two of the planks together with super glue and made the letter L, and then I painted it with chalkboard paint so I can decorate it or write on it as well. Imagine a huge letter in the hallway with messages etc. -

{ A peek of our living room }

Hello everybody! How are you? I thought I would show you some more details from our living room today. Things are coming together even though we haven´t gotten our things from Los Angeles yet. (Yes, I´m sick of waiting, and it seems that we have to wait for at least 3 weeks more! Much longer than I expected, so I actually feel kind of sorry for myself)  You can view more pictures from our living

{ Enjoy the weekend! }

Wonderful, wonderful Friday! The sun is shining and we have the weekend in head of us! How great is that? Any plans for this weekend? I actually don´t have any plans yet, so I guess I´ll just relax. Hopefully I will find something better to do * smile *I´m happy to see that I got a lot of new followers lately and I want to welcome you all to Stylizimo blog. I hope you will enjoy the

{ Wise words in a frame }

I saw these wise words over at the lovely blog pilli pilli a while ago, and I saved them in a file. I have now made a picture that we have placed in our living room, so we always can remind ourselves to find the time...Thank you all for your sweet comments on my new dresser and the shelf that I´ve made - you are all sweethearts!I wish you all a wonderful day! I hope you have sunshine too.Image:

{ Treasures give character! }

As I´ve told you earlier, I think that a home gets extra character if one mixes old furniture with new ones. I´ve been looking for an old dresser for our living room, and this weekend I finally found one at "Finn.no". The dresser was already painted in white, so I saved myself some work. *smile*I have to say that I´m very pleased with how it fits in. You can see more pictures of it here if you
