Some fine French roof






These pictures are from a small area over just a couple of blocks
in Montmartre, Paris. The differences are large and also beautiful.
Look at this wonderful old ceiling with a grande chandelier. I
especially did like that the cafe have put Moroccan lamps to it and
then made the interior complete and tasty. A dreamplace.
U can´t see it on the picture, but they also have huge pillows that
you could really sink into and nice chillout music on the speakers.mmm
And look at this roof I snapped from the balcony, a mixture of old
and new architecture, and amazing colours...

Berlin flat





I am both inspired and overwhelmed after a weeks
visit this summer at some friends flat
in Berlin. The interior was really pure retro
style throughout the whole 3 rooms appartment.
Real design from earlier decades, simple- but
still so perfect all through..

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out-of-date refrigerator for almost nothing.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.

The Factory




I am both fascinated and inspired after a visit to
the old factory at Øvre Eiker that is transformed into
an well known artist´s studio. Approximately 7 meters
below the roof, rusty pipes textures mixed with streetart
on the walls - addition to massive amounts of other
art materials. Absolutely astounding.

Mexican haciendas



Look at the colours on these 2 houses (remind you
that this is from a poor neighboorhood with no fancy
stuff around) I have photographed in Mexico!
For inspiration.........

Textures




These are a glimse of what I managed to snapped during
my short visit to Skagen Museum.
Some great colours on the side of a sculpture in the garden
that reflect what time and weather can create.

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