DIY picture frames

For the birch bark we went to [...]
Couscous with veggies
When it comes to cooking we follow the same principles as we do in renovating our home: keeping it simple and cheap! This is especially true for our weekday lunches, which often are meatless. So, today we’d like to share one of our go-to recipes that is both quick, healthy and easy on the wallet: [...]
