Happy August 1st!

Happy August 1st! I have bene working alot this summer, but I always make time for decorating and changing things around in our home. Your home should reflect those who live there, and be a place where you can relax and reload your batteries. And also have tons of fun with friends and family ;)

TBT: pink flowers

Summer lovin'

New in: marble table

I have been wanting to upgrade our apartment for a while now. After starting school to get my degree as an interior designer it has opened my eyes for so many different styles and opportunities! Even though I want our home to be cozy and welcoming, I also want it to be modern and chic.

I've been looking at this table for a couple of months now, but I never wanted to spend money on it. If you're a student yourself, you totally understand what I mean. It doesn't always feel right to buy decor and interior items when you could rather spend the money on food, books or anything else school related. Last month I finally convinced myself that I definitely needed the table, and the rest is history. Doesn't it look so good though? Yep, that's what I thought. I love it! The table is from Søstrene Grene for those of you who are interested.

New painting in our bedroom

My new painting. The colors are alot lighter than the other ones I have painted, but I love it. It's calm and relaxing

Some flowers to help the space feel fresh and welcoming

Mixing items of different heights is crucial to make yuur dresser look put together

Tray obsession continues

I am obsessed with trays. I have all sizes and shapes. I think they are a fun little way to show of some of your favorite decor items! In the pictures below I mixed a succulent, blush carnations (in my favorite vase that I got from V on my birthday last year), a blue jar and some gold details. My absolute favorite color combination! Simple, easy and beautiful!

Summer time favorite!

Sunset from last September

Found some pictures from a sunset in September in my archieve. These are from our last apartment, but they're too beautiful not to post. The color changed from orange to pink while I was taking these and it turned out so gorgeous.

Art piece progress

I bought this art canvas over a year ago cause I wanted to try to paint my own art to hang above the couch in our old apartment. I wasn't really happy with the first painting I did so I added some gold to it. Back then it was ok, but earlier this year I redid the whole thing into a blue ang green thing. Not really sure what to call it. My 6 year old niece told me it looked like an island seen from above with a shark in the water. I guess that's one way to look at it. 

Then we had to move and I just put it all away for a couple of months. Last week I finally found time to sit back down and redo the whole thing once again. And for the first time I am actually 100 % happy with the outcome.

I wanted to show you the four different paintings with pictures just so you could see what I am talking about. I am absolutely no artist but I have fun doing these kind of things. I feel more at peace and happy with myself.

The very first! Just blue doodles..

then I added some gold. Kinda looks like lightning..

Total change! Not really sure what this was supposed to be.

After we moved we had to hang it next to our dining table and chairs. Can you
spot the whale my niece was talking about?

Last but not least, my last project. I am superhappy with this one!

Peach blush Carnations

Have a great weekend!
