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out-of-date refrigerator for almost nothing.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.

Manholes as a table




Came across a whole bunch of abandoned and rusty
manholes and manholecovers in Sofienbergparken
the other evening. The full vision was strikingly
beautiful - I wish I could take with me a piece - maybe
to use as a table, if I could make a table top on -
unfortunately the manhole was too heavy to carry.
Such beautiful textures and rusty colors...mm.

A roof to die for


I am both inspired and amazed after a visit
to a really cozy restaurant with great decor
and surroundings in Stockholm last week...
There was a high ceiling, that had a worn
appearance with lots of texture. Beautiful art
on the walls, chandeliers and old mirrors gave
me lots of interior ideas, at Restaurant Pelikan.

See how time has worn on this sweet antique chair I found in Anna Anchers house in Skagen.
For inspiration...

Still life - My hallway


The flower pot - a found treasure. I got this beautiful pot for 2 euros at a local fleamarket last week.
Got an old gold-coloured brothel-looking mirror from a friend, a white coat of paint and it looked so much better.
A rather dull looking cupboard was bought for ten euros at a local secondhand store. A sloppy paintjob and replaced the handles - and voila!
