Add red - interiors 2

YES - I just checked again - there´s nothing red in my home apart from a box and the toy kitchen - so I´m posting some more interiors with different amounts of red for inspiration! All from the latest flash-issue of Boligliv, BoBedre, Rum and Living Etc.

Add red - Interiors

There´s no red stuff in my home - apart from my daughers toy kitchen. But I really like the little touch of red in all these interiors from Desire to Inspire and the artwork by Trine Lund in the first picture. How red is your home?

P.s My sister gave birth to a healthy baby girl this morning & I´m so happy!

Add red - Singapore

Things have gotten back to normal a little bit too quick after the Holidays - with colds and the flu and grey colours outside - so here´s a few snapshots from our days in Singapore - one of them was spent in Singapore Zoo - which it´s such a great and lush place to wander around with or without kids - and a visit to Chinatown for dinner and some shopping afterwards is always fun.

This is the first post in my new ADD RED WEEK here at my blog - old posts here. I know it´s good feng shui and all - but red is a colour that just doesn´t come easy to me. So this week I´ll add red everyday here at the blog. Feel free to join in and leave a comment if you do. please.

Studio in January

Here´s what the studio looks like in January- our calender is slowly getting filled with new projects and places to go. There´s also been a constant flow of fresh flowers both here and in my home after I announced my marriage :) So nice!

And Line has left the building for the next days - and taken all her paintings with her to the Art Fair this weekend in Århus - so it feels very empty in the studio. But on my blog things are happening - for the first time in my 3 years of blogging I now have more Danish readers than international readers - thanks to a nice mentioning of my blog in the new issue og Boligliv. Thank you.

Velkommen til nye danske læsere - jeg håber I bliver hængende lidt, får lyst til at vende tilbage og opdager en vidunderlig og inspirerende verden via de mange links.

Le petit atelier de Paris

A visit to Le Petit Atelier de Paris is now on my wishlist - how can one resist a shop with such lovely window decorations and products like the ones above.. Here you can visit the shop or the blog. I found it via Designsponge´s regional roundup Paris created by Anne who has done a great job selecting some great and interesting designers - and it seems like France/Paris is in a really crafty and creative mood right now when it comes to design with a female touch.

Marianne Grønnow

I linked to Danish artist Marianne Grønnow´s work in my previous post - but in case you missed the link here´s another painting and a gigantic papercut by her talented hands. Enjoy!

New year resolutions 2009

This collage sums up my new year resolutions for 2009.
Eat healty. Pray more. Love more. Dance more. Paint more. More Silence and No Smoking.

This weekend I held a workshop in our studio for a group of female friends, who all made visonboards for 2009. Both the process and the results were so wonderful - and I´m planning on making more workshops like this in 2009. You can get a glimpse at our studioblog here.

We are married!

Ohhhhh - I been looking forward to share this with you - and now that our friends and family have received the news about our marriage - I guess I can share it here too.

We got married secretly on the 12th of December at the City hall here in Århus - and exchanged wedding rings at the beach in Thailand the 30th of December and had a very private dinner with some close friends from home afterwards. It was perfect to do it this way since Thailand is "our place" - and we will throw a big party in the summer 2009 for friends and family here in Denmark- so it will be 3 events all in all - pretty clever right?

Happy new year 2009

Hi again - we are back after a wonderful trip - my jetlag is over and I´m almost ready to start blogging again. I´ve spend so much time the last weeks just looking at the Andaman Sea at Koh Lipe and my mind is still there - still gazing at all the blue colours which I love so much. I wish you a wonderful new year 2009 - and I look forward to share it with you here.

Wishing you a merry Christmas

I´m wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. We are ready now to go to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi Island and Koh Lipe in Thailand - and will be back in the new year after a long and warm holiday full of rest and new inspiration. Take care and take it easy.

Advent decoration by Ferm

I just discovered this beautiful advent decoration in Alt for Damerne, created by Trine from Ferm Living, who is also the women behind the wallpaper in the background. It´s a branch decorated with misteltoe and some homemade birds, made from this pattern, by Spoolsewing. So pretty.

A little more Christmas

so here´s a glimpse of some of our decorations at home. As you can tell I just love snowflakes so off course I have to mention this snowflake design project by one of my favorite designers Marian Bantjes. We are busy packing - but I´ll be back tomorrow to say Goodbye and Happy Holidays.

Handmade Holiday decorations

I´m todays guest at Bloesem - where I´ve written a small post and how-to guide about my handmade holiday decorations this year. I was inspired by some capice shells I had bought in Asia – but I think you can get hold of them almost everywhere – and I tried to transfer some of my photos and prints onto them – and really liked the combination of the delicate shell and the graphic prints. You can read more here.

Simple & delicate ways to decorate

I´ve finished decorating our house for Christmas now - keeping it simple with lots of candles, snowflakes and cones - and I hope I´ll get a chance to take some photos soon. In the meantime I´ll just share these 2 wonderful ways to decorate your table, from Boligliv - and your white walls - source unknown. I´m thinking of doing something similar with our wall in the dinning room - since our painting will be part of this exhibition at Vejle Kunstmuseum untill April 09.

New owls in my shop

I´ve just uploaded some new owls in my shop, there´s a Science owl, a Hippie owl, a Girly owl, and a Craft Room Owl which I would like you to meet. It´s not easy to take good photos with natural lightning at this time of year - but I did the best I could.

Our Christmas market this weekend went really well - we had about 400 guest in our little studio and we will do it again next year I think - you can get a glimpse of the market at our new studio blog.

By Nord

This home above caught my eye in the november issue of Bo Bedre - because I really liked the scandinavian simplicity and the arrangment with the quince. When I read the article I discovered that this home belongs to one of my former co-workers a long time ago - and that she and a friend have started a new danish company named By Nord . They design and produce timeless home accessories of high quality and the bedlinen above is part of their first collection - needless to say I´m in love with the Squirrel print -arent you? Check out their collection here and see more photos from her home here.

December is lovely

Here´s a glimpse of my little christmas decorations in the studio. The Snowman is by Medusa and the collage is by me and from the Chrismas Cards I´ll be selling this weekend at our Christmas Market here in Århus. The rest will be for sale in my shop after the weekend.

Hand drawn furniture

My heart literally skipped a beat when I first saw this "hand drawn" carpet by the Swedish design group Front, made for an exhibition earlier this year at Spazio Rossanna Orlandi, photo nr.2.

But the price was way out of my reach - so I was so happy when I saw these "hand drawn" pillows yesterday from the new home collection by H&M - which will be launching soon and be online in february 2009. I think they will be more affordable and are now on my wishlist... I wonder if Front designed them?
You can see more from the new collection on Husmusen, or here.

I like contrast

I like this mix of the GUBI-Chairs and the old table - and all the contrast in colours and shapes in both photos - both from the new issue of Rum magazine.

I´m not dreaming of a white christmas...

I´m having one of those days today - so I just had to make a little reminder for myself of where I´ll be within 3 weeks time - so here´s a little sea and sun if you need some too... I sure do - and will stop complaining right away now - and start looking forward to our Christmas Holiday instead...

The Gift

Let me introduce you to the amazing glass-works by Karen Lise Krabbe. I went to the opening of her show, The Gift, this weekend, which is the first in a new STUDY series - organized by Glasmuseet in Ebeltoft. The titel The Gift refers both to her gratefulness for working with glass -but also to the way she has documented her working-process so carefully and specific that other glass-artist can use her experiments with different materials and continue from there...

I love the final result and the whole idea about sharing your knowledge - and I can highly recommend this exhibition that runs untill february. The top picture is of what the artist calls
" My 3D sketchbook" - it´s all the bits and pieces that didn´t make it through her critical process - but in my eyes they are all little treasures...

Our little Christmas Market

It´s been quiet on my blog which means that I´ve been busy IRL. Busy making posters and invitations for our little Christmas Market in our studio - and you´re more than welcome!

Busy making a studio blog - about what goes on in & outside our studio - you can read it in Danish here. And busy making a facebook group about the the same subject - which you can join here.

And busy designing logo´s and Christmas cards, and busy trying to develop my little design studio, busy cleaning after we had a new wall put up in the studio, busy decorating for Christmas at home since Nanna couldn´t wait any longer - and busy getting all my projects ready before the 17.th of december where we are off for a long and warm holiday in Malaysia and Thailand full of rest!

Visit to Aros

Today we finally got to visit our local art museum and to say hello to our painting! It´s was in great company and hung just opposite the Ferguson tractor made entirely from cardboard - so I´m sure it´s having a great time - while we miss it! Can you spot it?

There was a lot of cool stuff going on right now at Aros - and I really fell in love with the colours on this huge tiled floor... you should really go and have a look at it all yourself!

Sorry for spamming you if you read my blog through rrs-feeds - I´m still learning to post directly from my "new" mobile to my blog - and it´s not quite working yet...
