Create an outdoor room

BEFORE

AFTER

I painted the whole house a dark brownish black, otherwise the only thing we changed are the the furniture and all the lovely small things that make life interesting. The gigantic parasol helps create the feel of the outdoor room and is wonderful to sit under when the gentle summer rain falls. Using the same type of feel for your furniture indoors as outdoors as well as cushions, throws and all the deco u like makes the outdoor room come alive. Why live without a BBQ outdoors in the summer and cosy corner to fall asleep in the sun after dinner? 

BEFORE

This is how it looked before I took over.

AFTER

Choose a style you like and go for it. I always do! 
The  bedroom got a new wodden flooring painted a grey tone and the walls got a another shade of grey. 

The biggest change from the before picture is the choice made from the planning of the room, the placement of the bed in the middle of the room in front of the the headboard made from recycled wood with storage space in the back ( where no one can see :)

Perfect closets are built on each side of the bed where the roof slants. The room is made smaller but wins majorly in closet space. When all is stored your home can become beautiful is what I say.

My own home makeover

BEFORE 

 

AFTER 

Yes - we did put in new windows and that was the most important change. The fireplace is certainly a upgrade that both feels good a cold winters day and is visually a design treat. 

I LOVE a good make over and I LIVE them in my own life. I bought the house looking like it does in the before pic and I made it mine as you see in the the pic below. The lake and the trees is the major difference. Just to see nature when its this beautiful does wonders for your interiors. Do you agree?

Two men and a dog

 

Taking the bridge from Malmö, Sweden to Copenhagen, Denmark. 

Very rainy as we skip over the sea. 

 

Skt Petri Hotel lobby where we are checking in tonight.

Hotel Skt Petri is the only hotel in Copenhagen that is a Designhotel according to Design Hotels.com

 Sales everywhere in Copenhagen this time of year. Hmmm....

Found these fun french coffey cups in one of the many fab second hand and antique shops.

Want a skihelmet like the one in Max Mara´s window display. Star Wars Forever!

 

St Petri church

Love Skt Petri for being PRO DOGS. Terry had a bowl of water waiting at the room. 

I like the style and the red tones of the headboard although it was not so comfy...

We enjoyed a fantastic room service meny and Terry had a new juicy bone. 

Terry fell asleep in the easy chair after trying out the bed. 
 

Have to have coffey and cake at Café Norden

 

Two men and a dog in Copenhagen = LOVELY

Bangkok revisited

A  picture at a cleaning cart, hm....

Had a wonderful dinner outside of Bangkok on an almost floating restaurant. Lovely

A small but VERY green mall I like on Sukhumvit road not far from our hotel

Really like the interiors and the choices made for this café placed in a huge mall in a very open space. Especially like the decorated half wall for the framing and the large floorlamps, they lower the ceiling height with a very cosy effectivity.



Do not miss the Jatuchak market when in Bangkok - here are some memories in pictures.

Ever tasted a lotus?

Popsicle anyone?

Going through pictures from my trip to Thailand in December I found all of these from Bangkok I forgot to put on the blog.
