Playroom
Recently my husband and I did a little thrifting, at *Sudan Genbrug* ("Sudan Re-use") shop. I found these 2 lampshades.
And LOOK: They are exactly like the one one in my favorite book! (UPDATE: ISBN4-07-250139-5)Probably IKEA or something. They're gonna hang in the new playroom - when we get to THAT part of re-decorating!
I know I have a thing for stripes, but look at the DOTS.
Loving the Tea Set. I remember seeing one at Karin's blog - can't find it again though. Does anyone know where I can buy a set?
My mind is filled with house organizing these days. Especially organizing. I think storage is key. I found *Lege og bo* ("Play and live") a while back. It's absolutely wonderful.
Very fifties and sixties. A lot of great storage solutions. They don't make classy stuff for kids like that anymore, now do they? Maybe I should take THAT up....hmmmm....*karkovski - interiors for kids*!
My oldest girlfriend, Trine - we met at daycare!!! - actually has a company, Den Eventyrlige Kommode, where she designs furniture for kids and has it made here in Denmark. It's not my style, but I appreciate the design and craftsmanship. Check it out. I took all the photographs! (Most of the props are mine as well!)
More here.
Tomorrow we're going of to visit my husband's sister and celebrate her son's "Confirmation". The party is on the 12. which is also daughter's 2. Birthday - bah...bummer! We had a small party this past Saturday. Not quite the same. Kinda weird. For me anyways ;o)
Have a great weekend everybody and thank you for cheering me on - blog wise - I REALLY appreciate all of you!
HUGS <3

Do you have any idea where I can order "your favorite book"? I love it!!

I don’t know if this will work, but:
Click on my link “favourite book”
Click upper left corner “order”
(New window opens)
Click bottom right corner “mail box”
Write them an email and see what happens?
Hope this’ll work or hopefully someone else knows where to purchase?

Do you know the ISBN of your "favorite book"?
I'm loving the Lege og Bo pictures you've posted also.
