Tuesday DIY: a fab walk-in wardrobe on a shoe-string

In the first chapter of The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin talks about how de-cluttering and organising your home is the first step to feeling happier. I have to say, I admire people who make organising spaces look so effortless. One girl who knows her stuff is the talented interior designer Nina Holst from the Norwegian blog Stylizimo. She created this fab DIY walk-in-wardrobe on a shoe-string budget.

I spy two MALM chest of drawers, the STOLMEN used as a clothing rack, BYGEL which nina spray painted herself in gold, and two LEDSJÖ lamps all from IKEA.

To read more about how Nina created this space you can check out the original post here.

I would love to organise my jewellery and sunglasses in the same way in my dressing room. Thanks so much for the idea Nina! For more cool wardrobe inspiration you can always check here.

And if you're up for other DIY ideas this week you might want to check out this simple dotted wall, a cloud shaped door mat or a wall clock using a leather belt. So simple yet so cool.

We are traveling South (in Thailand) tomorrow so I am handing the reigns to Dagny of Icelandic blog Feel Inspired for the day. Have a lovely day and I'll be back Thursday!

Weekend Project- Come Sail Away

After spending a few days stuck in the house due to the snow I started to get to the itch to change things around. I have been collecting ship art for about 7 years now but only had three up in our living room, the rest where waiting for a home. I assumed this would be a gallery wall in Henry's next room but I decided it was time to pull a couple more out now instead of waiting. So I added two more to the wall for now and the rest will just have to wait a little longer….

This is the newest purchase and I am so happy I bought it, the texture and the colors are gorgeous.

It has been really enjoyable searching for different pieces over the years, it makes every antique shopping excursion a little more fun. I look forward to using the rest/more pieces in the near future.

Organized Gift Wrapping Station

Always up for an organizing challenge, I'm happy to share with you how I whipped my wrapping paper and supplies into shape with the help of The Home Depot. You can read all about it over at Home Depot's blog- The Apron.

Having everything I need to put a nice gift together has been so helpful. Now, I'm not rummaging through bins at the last minute trying to find a bow or some ribbon. It's great to be able to see everything and access it easily.

A fab home tour with a twist

Happy Monday! This year I've shown at least three homes for sale through Fantastic Frank. Honestly, looking through their website is like flipping through an interior magazine! So you can imagine how excited I was to find Fantastic Frank have collaborated with Swedish label MES DAMES to shoot home. With roots in France and now based in Stockholm, MES DAMES was founded by designer Lisa Wikander and creates beautifully tailored and cool clothes with a twist for women. Love the home and am so excited about the whole idea...so inspiring!

A round bed? Why not?!

See more images of the home and collection here, or for a complete write up check out the FF blog.

Other exciting Fantastic Frank inspiration include this, this and this post.

Or if you'd like to take a peek inside the homes of other fashion designers check out this or this home. So wonderful!

This home has totally got me thinking about who I'd team my home with. Perhaps Danish fashion brand Sofie Schnoor? Or my other staple favourite clothing company Day? Who would you team your home with?

Have a lovely day!

Quiet Time

I know this may be hard to read from a picture but I hope you can, so much goodness on one page. This is from Jesus Calling, a devotional by Sarah Young I have mentioned on here before and one I highly recommend….especially us worrying types.
