{ Oi Soi Oi }

Have you ever heard of the Danish company Oi Soi Oi? They are designing and producing interior designs, furniture, clothes and accessories and they are all made by hand in carefully selected workshops in Vietnam. For me it was love at first sight when I saw their newest collection...

"In our universe we aim to combine Scandinavian design simplicity with the rich craft heritage of Asia. Personal style is what inspires us. We use colours, materials and designs in a way that we hope delights and inspires our customers." - Oi Soi Oi


You can view their entire collection on their homepage, if you like what you see.

Have you heard of this brand before? Do you like what you see?

These ceramic pots and bowls will also be available in white. They´ll go strait on my wishlist.

{ New home office details }

I have done a few changes in my home office because I wanted it to be more cute and girly, and not so rough. I have therefore added some hints of soft purple together with my homemade knitted "pot".

The office has now a more feminine look, which I like a lot. At least for now... *smile* 

 You can see how it looked like before the changes here. 

Thank you for visiting me! 
Enjoy your day.

{ Treasures give character! }

As I´ve told you earlier, I think that a home gets extra character if one mixes old furniture with new ones. I´ve been looking for an old dresser for our living room, and this weekend I finally found one at "Finn.no".

The dresser was already painted in white, so I saved myself some work. *smile*

I have to say that I´m very pleased with how it fits in. You can see more pictures of it here if you like.

Do you like to mix old with new?

{ A cool place with lots of nice details }

I love homes that stands out and that have those details that nobody else has. This apartment in Oslo is that kind of home - super cool, and with an attitude!

 Notice the cool wall decorations, the furnitures that creates an interesting home and the gorgeous black floor - I love the dramatic contrast it makes against all the white!

Do you think it´s cool?

Located in the heart of the fashionable Christopher’s Place, this is Lombok’s first pop up store and covers over 3,100 sq ft across two floors; showcasing Lombok’s bestselling furniture and a wide range of Christmas gifts and accessories - How great is that?

{ Doing the little extra... }

Look at these cute details! I would be extremely happy if I got a gift with a cute ribbon or lace tape like the examples underneath. Details are appreciated by most, and it's nice to do something extra whether it is for others or yourself... 

Little button jar

 

Present ribbons

Lace sticky tape

Brown sugar hearts

That sugar heart and the little button jar are both adorable, and would be a lovely gift, don't you think?

Have a sweet Sunday!

I fell in love with these beauties from Cox & Cox's online shop, This store really has a lot of smashing things for our homes!

"Cox & Cox embraces the heartfelt philosophy that it is possible to create a home that is both beautiful and practical, offering a fresh escape from the norm. The product range has influences from all over the globe and takes inspiration from childhood memories, but often with a contemporary twist."

 The store is located in UK, but they do ship internationally.

{ Latest news from Ikea! }

If you like stars, you will love Ikea's Christmas collection this year! As far as I can remember I think this has to be their best Christmas collection ever - I love it, and I want it now! Actually, the best part of the collection, is that you can use a lot of it all-year-around, because most of their Christmas collection is with stars. It looks more like the "New England style" to me - and that is a GOOD thing, right?

 This is just a little selection of what they actually have in the new collection. You see rest of it here.

Do you like stars? See anything you like?

I made this collage with MY favorites.

{ My best flea market finds! }

Norwegian Interior Blogs (NIB) have a new challenge on their website this November, and this time they want us to submit pictures of our flea market finds. I love going to flea markets to search for those hidden treasures, so challenge accepted *smile*. I have however still not found those big furniture items that I'm hoping to find yet, but I know they are out there somewhere.
So for now I would like to share with you three of my latest finds that I'm very happy with...
 

( My three best finds: An antler, a wooden Coca Cola crate and an old frame that I have painted )

What are your best flea market finds?

I would love to hear about them, and hopefully I can see a picture of them in the NIB challenge.

Have a great Saturday everyone! I have plans to lay out in the sun this Saturday, if the sun comes out...
