Bicycle, bicycle on the wall

Bicycles are good for travel, good for the environment and good for your health. But they are also works of art, incorporating geometrical shapes in an ingenious way. So why hide away your bike when you can show it off on your wall with FIXA from Chrome Ltd. Found on the blog of these lovely sisters!

Minimalistic bathroom

I’m not usually a fan of complete minimalism, I find it becomes boring because there aren’t enough things to look at, but in bathroom furniture I find it creates a nice calm (maybe combined with Moroccan style tiles on the floor). Anyway I just had to share this minimalistic sink that still managed to intrigue me with its combination of shape and materials. Enjoy!

I don’t like killing plants but…

I really suck at keeping them alive. I try, I honestly try, to water them as often as I remember, but I’m too lazy and forgetful to make it a habit… So what to do? I love plants inside, but have trouble keeping them alive. I’ve found two potential solutions, have a look!

1. The obvious. What I was going to write about from the beginning. Cacti (or just cactuses, but I think cacti sounds that much cooler!) and succulents.

2. This awesome, eye catching little invention by Patrick Morris, that gradually waters your plants with gravity’s help and only needs refilling once a fortnight!

I must admit, I’m a litte weak for HM, like a true Swede! The combination of quality, good prices and fun pieces is a winning concept (most of the time). I haven’t been too interested in their HOME colloections, but then this pink parrot caught my eye and I couldn’t resist! A fun compliment in any home, perfect in time for spring!

Dare to Neon

Though I’ve got a lot of projects going on with an internship at Sandvik, an extra job as a math tutor, important decisions to make about what to study next term and of course where to travel this summer, I like the break my mind gets from enjoying beautifully balanced interiors with unexpected pops. Lately neon pops have inspired me the most. Have a look!

That Bulb

Light is something everyone in the western world take for granted, we never have to deal with complete darkness involuntarily. I firmly believe that it should not be taken for granted, and it should be seen in all its beauty. The lightbulb is and ingenious invention that has completely changed the world we live in. And it is still being developed. So why not enjoy the beauty of this amazing little thing, in its many shapes and sizes!

Yay for Valentine’s Day!

I’m not all for cheesy romantic stuff, but I don’t mind celebrating! So taking the opportunity, me and my mom went shopping! Nothing extensive, but some nice stuff from House Doctor came with me home!

I’ve had my eyes on this baby for a while! Why not keep my toiletries in such a beauty when out and about?

To bring your own water bottle to work or school is a good way of saving money, the environment and staying hydrated and healthy! I’ve been a fan of this for a while and now I have a good (and awesome!) bottle for it! Woop!
