Fresca y llena de color / Fresh and colorful

Hoy nos  vamos a Noruega para ver la casa  de Ingrid Aune Westrum la creadora 
del blog FjeldBorg .

Ingrid tiene una casa preciosa, fresca y llena de color, en su blog, ella comparte sus ideas y bricolaje, también nos hace descubrir bonitos detalles de decoración y ropa.  Como ocurre tan a menudo en la decoración nórdica, todo es muy simple, muy blanco y acentuado con toques 
de color aquí y allá.

La mayoría de los objetos están también a la venta en su tienda !



















When I Have A Proper Guest Room...

I would love to use this idea.  

Autism Awareness Month at Stella & Dot

It's great to see companies that give back in charitable ways to our community.  For the month of April, Stella & Dot will give 20% of retail sales from the Autism Awareness Collection to the HollyRod Foundation.












My favorite from the collection is the Spirit bracelet, which retails for $29.  It's beautiful in person too.   You can order it here.














My friend Emily (Decor Chick) is hosting an online trunk show too, so you can also shop via her link HERE.  My son and I were lucky enough to get to have a play date at Emily's house recently and my son is STILL talking about "cousin Emma!" ha! :) Her house is even more gorgeous in person!

An apartment in black, white and blue

Hi guys, I'm back! I had such a lovely time skiing with my family and friends in St Anton in the Austrian Alpes, have you been there? I'm already missing the mountains but it's also lovely to be home. I hope you all had a lovely Easter too? This Stockholm home is a recent edition to the Fantastic Frank 'for sale' portfolio. I love the white, black and blue colour scheme and as usual, fab styling!







Stylist: Sofie Ganeva.  Photograher: Emily Laye for Fantastic Frank

Which accent colour would you choose to go with black and white? I think I would go for dusty pink or the colour of the moment - apricot.

While I was away the very lovely Charlotte Minty published an inspiration profile interview with me. You can pop over and read it if you like here.

Have a lovely day!

DIY: Ideas para renovar / DIY: Ideas to renovate

Si ya no te gusta algún detalle de tu casa o quieres darle un  aire nuevo te propongo varias ideas para
 hacer tu misma.


Tienes una mesa vieja a la que te gustaría dar un aire nuevo.¡Tapízala! Elige una tela que te guste y pégala o grápala a  la mesa



Que te parece dar tu toque personal  con una transferencia de una imagen que te guste? Una fotografía, un poco de pintura o una imagen, escaneala en el ordenador e imprimela en papel de transferencia., solo tienes que seguir las instrucciones para transferir la imagen.


Puedes hacer una mesa con un un par de cajas de madera viejas clavadas una encima de otra y píntadas a brochazos irregulares de un color que te guste. Queda graciosa en un rincón informal.
Te animas hacer un espejo Sunburst. Es sencillo económico y original… solo necesitas pegamento, un espejo redondo, palitos de madera y mira el resultado ¿te gusta?

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter.  We sure did.

Happy Easter

Hi all!  Hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend!  We kept it low key, just staying around the house.    Hunting eggs this year was really fun, do the images below look familiar?? :)









Inside, I added some Springy branches 










and gorgeous purple tulips. 









I hope your week is off to a great start!
