Help Please, Can You Identify This?
A friend is looking to sell these two framed pieces of wallpaper. However, we don't know anything about the paper to price the pieces. Does anyone out there recognize this? Thanks for your help!
Fun Medicine Cabinet Organization & Labels
We don't have a traditional medicine cabinet, the shallow kind that hangs on the wall with a door that opens. Instead, we keep our medicine up high in a cabinet in the bathroom. To keep everything organized, I use my favorite InterDesign drawer organizer
s and put the medicine into different sections depending on what it's for. I use those organizers in almost every drawer in our house- they are clear and have lots of different sizes to fit everything from kitchen tools to bathroom supplies.
Over the weekend, I decided to make labels so that we could quickly tell what medicine goes where. When I went to print the labels, I figured I'd have some fun with it. (I use a Brother PT-1880 Labeler
and Martha Stewart file labels).
Goofy but fun. :)
How's that for a Monday laugh?! Be back tomorrow with highlights from my trip to New York with some fun pictures with other bloggers to share. Hope y'all had a great weekend!

A Swedish west coast retreat, family home and studio
Hello Monday! A storm is brewing here in Southern Sweden, and although I don't want to be out in it, I'm looking forward to the prospect of batoning down the hatches, getting out the blankets and lighting a few candles. This definitely calls for a cosy home exposed to the perils of nature. This Swedish retreat by the sea in Frilesas, Halland (not far from here) was originally designed and built by owner Fred, a carpenter. He was looking for a weekend bolthole and decided to keep it small, open-plan, simple and modern. But when he met his partner Lina, a designer, they decided to extend it to create a family home and a studio from which Lina could work. Now Lina and Fred live here with their 6 month old son Stig and it's undeniably cosy, warm and welcoming. A perfect haven from a storm raging outside!
Read more about it here (in Swedish). Or check out other cosy Swedish retreat's here (romantic log cabin anyone?!) and here.
In the last image I spy a sheepskin rug - which leads me to my latest news - I'm very excited to welcome my new sponsor BLACK SHEEP (WHITE LIGHT) purveyor of eco-friendly icelandic sheepskins and other select natural design products. I have my eye on this one in particular! They also ship worldwide - perfect! Thank you for supporting the sponsors that make this blog possible.
PS Oh and the other piece of exciting news is that my home is featured in the November edition of IKEA Family Live! I'm a big fan of IKEA as you know, so it's an honour to be included!
I hope you had a lovely weekend!

Diy Cuencos de oro mate / Diy Gold frosted bowls
Un proyecto increíblemente fácil y divertido para hacer en casa, un tazón dorado parecido a estos
preciosos porta velas.
Tan solo se necesita un globo, papel de periódico, pintura en aerosol, cinta adhesiva, una receta casera de pasta de papel maché
y sal marina gruesa
Hay que hinchar el globo y pegarlo con la cinta adhesiva a una base resistente para posteriormente ir alternando una capa de pasta casera (hervir durante 3 minutos 1 parte de harina + 5 partes de agua y dejar enfriar), y otra de de tiras de periódico entre 6 o 7 capas pare que sea resistente, hay que dejar secar entre capa y capa.
Una vez seco, estallar el globo y sacarlo con cuidado, ahora ya se puede empezar a pintar con la pintura en aerosol, hay que empezar por el interior, cuando se aplique la última capa de pintura en el exterior y sin dejar secar aplicar la sal gruesa.
!Espero que os haya gustado tanto como a mí!!
