INTERIOR | Clear Containers

All containers are from Iittala. I use these thick Ice cube lookalikes for all the tiny things that always used to get lost; a key, an earring, bobby pins, cash money.

And speaking about interior... yesterday my boyfriend and I spent all day and all night painting our house, the floors in light grey and the walls got a new layer of white (all the chocolate finger prints of Lois are gone). It's that time of the year again when you spend most of your time indoors and get the urge to also conform your surroundings to your own aesthetic. Oh, and now I won't have to photoshop the disgusting stains from the wall anymore before publishing an outfit picture. #timesaver

INTERIOR | Art

To some this might be boring but to me this is a collection of silly, pretty, interesting and funny things on display. It seems very minimalistic in this picture, but in reality I have too many of these kinds of scraps. I still need to learn how to curate my junk and to choose what to display and what to put away.

No 1.A small black and white image of insanely long Japanese hair that has been moved around the house, it has hung on the toilet door, above my desk, on a mirror and has now ended up on a glass picture frame. It's a miracle that the disgusting old tape still sticks.

No 3. A brilliant portrait of Gaga in one of her spikey attires drawn by my daughter Lois in less than two minutes. Take a look at those fierce fierce eyebrows!

No 2. Aren't cats supposed to be agile hunters, who can easily and elegantly walk on high narrow surfaces? Our cat defenitely is not one of those. The clumsy animal dropped this what used to be a glass frame, and turned it into one of those interpret-it-in-your-own-way art works.

INTERIOR | Floating Clothing Rack

Perhaps you've seen our coat rack in previous posts. It's made with the same principle as the DIY branche clothing rack. Making this one is even easyer. You'll need a tube, two hooks and a metal cable. Put the cable through the tube and hang it onto the ceiling and you're done.

We have this one hanging in our hallway, it's perfect for tiny Dutch homes where every space needs to be used as efficiently as possible; underneath we can put shoes, umbrellas and bags. I like to put different kinds of hangers on it, a couple of leather studded hangers from the 1980's, a few metal ones from IKEA and a couple of very thin ones from metal thread.

INTERIOR | DIY All Purpose Lamp

You'll need a plug, a wire, a fitting for your lamp and a large lightbulb. (Be sure to use an energy-efficient lamp which doesn´t get hot.) Connect them and you're done. Even I, so non technical that sometimes I can't even figure out how a printer works, can make this. You can lay this lamp on the table when reading, wrap it around a hook on the wall or carefully tie it around a high piece of furniture.
