A bed with a view

Photo: My Scandinavian Retreat

Look at the view from our bed! My handy man built this bed in a few hours last weekend. The bed is pretty tall, so that we can wake up to enjoy the view - and get storage-room. Now it just needs a handle/lock of some kind and a little paint. And we need curtains, a bedspread and a higher night stand...

Baby news with Eriksson photos

Have a look at this nice Scandinavian home of Swedish photographer Mari Eriksson, discovered through eco-stylista.

I especially like the nursery... I promise I won´t turn this blog into one of those child-interior-blogs, but we´re having a baby this spring (!) - so I´ve started looking for ways to decorate the baby´s room.

Happy new year from the cabin!

Me and my handy man enjoyed a few (cold) days in our summer cabin this holiday - working with the daybed amongst other things. Look how nice it turned out! We still have a few things left, like pillowcases and painting of the shelves, but it works just fine. This is what inspired us to make the daybed in the first place. Thank you!

We´ve also bought this Ikea-chair, maybe not a beauty - but very comfortable (see how my handy man relax in it)!

Happy new year everyone! I haven´t been a very good blogger lately, to much happening in real life, but I promise to do better in 2010.

The floors are done!

The floors are done and the cabin starts to look like my dream-cabin! Inside, the only thing left is the fun part: furniture and decorating. (And the bathroom...) Soon I have to do the before and after-post!
