My Marrakech

This is one of many pictures I snapped in Marrakech,
a dream city for any interior girl. Lamps, Moroccan
cushions, spices, gorgeous house decor, good taste etc,
the list is long...
I loved the warm colors everywhere, think spices;
red, orange and a countless variations of sienna.
But this rather damaged building catch my eye and
its colours are more cold, but still so inspiring
with the worn colours and structures.

Junk transformation

I´ve got this white, rather dull-looking and
out-of-date refrigerator for almost nothing.
My plan when I got it was to paint it turqouis,
to make it a bit fifties looking to match the
rest of my kitchen.
It was important to clean the surfaces so the
result will look like its never has been painted
at home but has its original colour - all dust,
dirt, smoke, grease, food etcetra must be cleaned
off, and I´ve finished it all with some fine
sandpaper, and wiped off the dust from the sandpaper
with a clean damp rag.
First, use a small fine roller and paint a thin layer
of litter kent oil-based primer. Then take several
layers, applied very thinly for each subject with
benga paint or oil-based paint that is very shiny,
I`ve got my local paint store to mix the exact color
I wanted for my refrigerator.

Purple hacienta

Look at the colour on this house I snapped

in Barcelona! A little lovely purple hacienta

in the middle of the city...simply adoreable,

can I move in soon?

A bit different

Just came home from a trip to Skagen.

The city's distinctive character is the old yellow brick houses,

and gardens are as usually very well-kept.

I came across a house with a garden that were slightly different.

Check out the worn blue door on the left and the bright turquoise

door to the right.

Brick Lane door

Look at the amazing textures and streetart colours on this photo

I have taken of a door in Brick Lane, London.

Raw beauty...

Rusty, worn and amazing

Look at the amazing textures and colours on these photos I have taken of walls and doors just around my neighboorhood blocks and in my backyard.I especially fancy the way the rusty details break through the worn colours. My wishlist is a whole wall in my apartment that is reminiscent of these, or on a big canvas in my living room.

Something to work with....

Doors from Sardinia

Some inspiring doors I came across on my trip to Sardinia last year.

The Mediterranean climate gives worn and exciting colors and structures.

I especially fancy the way the rusty details break through turquoise and teal blue nuances.

Mexican doors

Some amazing doors I photographed at my trip to Mexico last fall. Inspiring worn colours and structures. These beautiful Mexican style colours had been fantastic on my wall (using colour wash technique) or on canvas.
