Springmood

Just admired this beautiful courtyard at Livet Hemma that made me long

 for many more beautiful warm Springdays with family and friends

The inviting Ikea Havsten sofa series, designed by Andres Frederikson,

was designed to be easy to move and furnish you garden in different ways. 

In my opinion just perfect to create a simple but stylish look outside and 

have long cosy Spring- or Summer evenings...

This weekend  was a great foretaste dont you think so? 

Hope you all had a happy one!

Summermood

An inviting patio surrounded by the most beautiful trees and plants, 

A mix of old and new (love the grey Ikea 'Bittergurka' watercane) accessories as 

cushions and sheepskins and simple old pots and bottles filled 

with flowers to create a cosy atmosphere...

Just admired this beautiful harmonious garden at Livet Hemma

that made me long for many more beautiful warm 

summerdays with family and friends...

Always inspired by the creative green ideas of stylist Tina Hellberg

Outdoorinspiration - Meditteranean

Bamboo, rattan, sand- and earttones and a few green accents...

Already spotted the inspiring outdoor styling ideas to create a 

Mediterranean atmosphere in the latest issue of VT wonen magazine,

but when the photos and ideas also came in my mailbox this week

 (at the last VT wonen newsletter),  I got sense to get started right away and

 create this amazing summerfeeling in my own garden! 

Find more of these garden styling ideas here and be inspired!

outdoor ideas II

like I said last week I really love this time of the year

when we see all these great outdoor ideas in the magazines and in the blogosphere

My personal taste and choice is to keep it very simple

and to create an inviting atmosphere (see here) 

In my garden you will find wood, black pottery, natural tones,

soft cushions in greyshades and a lot of green ofcourse 

I guess that's why I was attracted by the creative ideas

of Pella Hedeby found at the livet Hemma site 

with some great simple details and an important and inspiring 
role for the glass greenhouse cabinet

 Hindo by IKEA and a quick but very stylish DIY idea...

outdoor ideas

love this time of the year when we see all these great ideas

 in the magazines and in the blogosphere 

about how to create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere at your garden or balcony 

for exemple by mixing flea finds and new (design)  furniture with 

a lot of soft cushions and cosy accessories 

 the tasteful black and white outdoor styling ideas by Cleo Scheulderman seen at the 

VT wonen magazine site and the beautiful location really inspired me...  

I am looking forward to a nice long summer!
