Happy Saturday

Happy Saturday! Have a great day!

This voluspa candle has the most amazing smell!

Good night & sweet dreams

Just had to show you this new pillow I've got! It's from jotex and I love all the happy colors! I've actually got two of them, put I only used one for the pictures. Good night, sweet dreams!

Cinnamon Rolls

One of my guilty pleasures is cinnamon rolls. They're so yummy and delicious! I made some the other day and they turned out so good. Here's the reciepe and I hope yours turn out just as delicious as mine did!

Ingredients(serves 50 pieces):

10 dl milk
300 g butter
250 g confectioners sugar

1 bag/12 g yeast

1 dash of cardamom
15 dl flour

Topping:

Sugar

Cinnamon

Melted butter

Instructions:

Boil the milk, butter and the confectioners sugar. Cool down to 37 degrees C/98 degrees F. Stir the yeast into the mixture and then add the cardemom and flour. Let the dough rest for about 30-40 minutes.

Cut the dough into three pieces, use your rolling pin to roll each of them into a square piece. Use a brush to put on the melted butter and then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top. Roll the square back into a swiss roll and cut into pieces. Place them onto a baking sheet( I use 3 baking sheets for this reciepe).

Let them rest for 30 minutes before you put them in the oven. 200 degrees C/400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes. Good luck!

1 liter melk
300 gram margarin
250 g melis
1 pose gjær
noen dæsjer kardemomme
1,5 kg mel

Smeltet smør
Sukker

Hva gjør man:
Kok opp melk, smør og melis. Avkjøl til fingervarm, ca 37 grader. Rør gjæren ut i væska og deretter bland i kardemommen og mel. La deigen hvile på et lunt sted i ca 30-40 minutter.

Del deigen i 3 like deler. Kjevle ut hver del til en stor firkant og pensle utover smør. Strø på kanel og sukker. Rull sammen deigen til en rullekake og kutt opp. Plasser på bakepapir og la de hvilke i 30 minutter. Deretter steikes de på 200 grader i ca 15-20 minutter. Jeg bruker tre stekeplater. Vel bekomme!

Healthy lunch

Salads can be made in so many different ways, there's endless possibilities. This one is lettuce, ruccola, chicken, nuts(peacons are alot better than almonds but I used what I could find..), dried cranberries and dressing! Yum!

Pink'ing up our livingroom

Lately I've been on a pink roll! I don't want it too look too sweet, but some pink makes any room cozy, feminin and cute. I change the pillows and curtains in our living room, so V might come home a day and I've changed it from pink to blue to white. It's all fun though. Right V?

 I got this pink pillow from H&M Home. It's so soft. I love it! Can you spot my new pinkish curtains?

Fresh roses that compliment the pink pillow!

This voluspa candle "macaron" has the best smell!

Friday traditions

Every friday for the last three years we've made pizza from scratch and eaten it while we watch a tv-show or a movie. A couple of months after V became my boyfriend I bought this cozy pink sweatshirt and sweatpants. It's become a tradition that I wear it while we eat pizza. V told me one time that it doesn't feel like Friday unless I wear it. You don't mess with our traditions ;)

TBT sunset from October

I didn't really think about it until I uploaded these picures.. But I miss the view from our last apartment! These pictures were taken right outside the door. If I go outside now all I get is a couple of houses and alot of trees. Not the same view at all.

I love sunsets. I love how to colors change and it looks like the sky is on fire. Isn't it beautiful?

After a couple of minutes the orange color(above) changed into a more pinkish color(below). So beautiful!

Geminis on a beautiful mirror tray

Couldn't pass out on the opportunity to get these flowers for only 50 NOK/6 $ last Friday. The flower store "Mester Grønn" had a campaign for new members. I absolutely love the color, deep dark pink. 

Lunching

Wooden tray & roses

I honestly never thought of myself as someone who loves to use trays as a part of my decorations in our home. But I've realized that I might have been wrong, given that I have +/- 10 trays either in our storage or spread around our home. Sometimes I find it easier to decorate on a tray, simply because it's alot easier to put alot of small stuff on it to show it off.

I got this wooden tray while we were in Salt Lake City over christmas break. I got it to use as a prop for school, but I haven't had the chance yet. It broke in my suitcase on our way back home, so I had to glue the sides back on and there's a piece that's missing. I might get a chance to use it for school during next semester, but for now I wanna use it as a decorating tray! It's so cute.

This golden vase is from H&M Home!

The voluspa candle smells soooo good ;)

Fresh roses for the week!

Bedroom Tour

After our move in late February(can you believe we've been living here six weeks already?!), I've had a hard time decorating our bedroom. In our last apartment we had a big bedroom. I thought it was the perfect size, V thought it was too big. The problem with the room was that there wasn't much space to put dressers and closets. We had three(!) doors leading into the doors, which automatically means alot of wall space is gone. But anyhow, we managed to get our big bed, two night stands, two dressers and a two door wardrobe stuffed in there, plus three doors and a window. Don't forget our the 42" TV! Pretty great, huh?

The main reason we wanted to move was so we could get our own office. In our old apartment we had our computer setups in the middle of the living room - not convenient. Or pretty. Our new apartment is two square meters smaller than our old apartment, which means our bedroom wouldn't be as big. I guess you kinda can say that our new bedroom + office = our old bedroom. Kinda. 

Before we moved in I hontestly thought we would for sure get both our night stands into the room, but no. Not a chance. I don't really like our bed pushed into the wall, but it's the only way this bedroom works. We had to choose between a dresser or a nightstand, and that made it rather easy. We need storage for our clothes! We had to put the other dresser into our Bathroom. 

Without further ado; here's some pictures from our new bedroom!

The door leading into our bedroom. To the right is the entrance and our office.

Our night stand table, and my own pictures hanging above the bed. Some cute candles and a table lamp is all you need for a perfect night stand! I'm on the look out for a new lamp base, but haven't fund the right one just yet. And yes, I need this alarm during the night so I don't have to turn on my phone to check what time it is...

I made these pillows while we were in Utah during Christmas. I think they go really well with my pictures.

 
Our dresser! a 5 drawer dresser from Jysk.

I love, love, love this old mirror that we got from a friend!

Close up of my brass candle sticks. How cute is this cup? It's a couple years old from H&M. After the candle that was originally in it burned down, I just replaced it with a tea light.

That cute elephant is for money savings, and goes really well with our flower pot.
