Lovely office
I love everything about this little nook: from the stunnign colour palette to the birdies on the wallpaper to the simple drum lampshade. What a great space to work at!
DIY inspiration
We constantly stumble upon ridiculously cool diy ideas that for some reason we don’t make ourselves. We do want to share them with you, though! One project I absolutely adore ist this starburst mirror:
It is such a classic that could cost you quite a lot if you buy it. This diy version, however, achieves a great effect without the added cost. The tutorial can be found here.
If you have some awesome diy inspiration or finished some cool diy projects yourself, do share!
Pinboard redo
For our office, which we’re currently working on, we have recently spruced up a standard magnet/cork board combination. Here’s the cheap office helper (only $ 4 at our grocery store!) before:
It was useful but just too boring. To make it a bit more interesting, we got out some leftover paint from this project. We made sure to tape the cork and magnet surfaces off securely and got started on the wooden frame. Since the frame was so thin we used a small pencil here.
We made sure to let it dry completely before removing the tape again:
Here’s the spruced up board waiting to be hung:
I love that shade of blue!
How do you make your office fun?

Merry Christmas!
Wishing you a happy Christmas! May you all be able to enjoy time with those you love. We will be back in a couple of days.

Wrapping Christmas presents: 2008
I am seriously behind with my Christmas presents this year, which is very out of the ordinary for me. So, instead of sharing how I’m wrapping my presents this year, here’s what I did last year:
For the deocrations I used moss, fake mushrooms, some felt shapes, as well as a ceramic deer and some simple diy gift tags.
