Gold, white and black in New York

For the first time since I started blogging about homes and interior, I'm NOT bringing you a Scandinavian home. No sir, this time I want to show you a beautiful home in New York, which is kept in beautiful and warm colors. This is just my kind of place; I love everything about this beautiful home. What do you think?

A lovely evening in Apartment 107

Hello and goodevening to you all.
Well, I've have had a very productive day today. Despite going to bed way too late and getting up at noon today, I've managed to get a lot of things done - which is always lovely.

I'm on my Christmas break right now, and already I'm feeling a bit restless. So today, after getting up and having several cups of coffee, I decided not to waste the day away and started to clean the whole apartment. Yes, I've been in every corner, nook and cranny and the place is just spotless now - and that is just oh so lovely!
Then I wrapped some Christmas presents for my folks whilst listening to old crooners singing Christmas tunes, and then, still feeling restless, I started painting some wooden bookcases black, so that they match the rest of the place.

And then suddenly, day turned into evening, and I'm finally kickin' back with a big cuppa tea
- in my new cup I got from IKEA a couple of days ago (and by the way, the striped knitted blanket is also an IKEA purchase) -
and back-to-back episodes of Sex & The City.
My couch corner really is the place where I spend most of my time when I'm home. It's oh so cozy, and with the subtle light from the chain of lights and candles, it's next to impossible not to feel happy and relaxed.

But well yes, that's it from me tonight.
I hope all of you have had a nice Monday, and that you're feeling just as happy and relaxed as me.
Have the happiest of December evenings ♡

Classy Christmas

What a wonderful December day it is!
Today was my last day of school, so now I'm officially on Christmas holiday - and oh how great it feels! I'm celebrating with a cuppa coffee with cinnamon and a Christmas movie, and well, life is pretty great right now.
Anyway, since it's such a lovely day today, I thought I'd make it even better with a little classy Christmas inspiration.

... These pictures come from a Danish home, and I must say I am a little bit in love with the classy Christmas theme. I love that it's subtle and simple, but still create a very cozy and Christmasy feeling.

Have a great December day - if you have any, then please go play in the snow. Oh, and throw a snowball for me ♡

A very merry 1st of December in Apartment 107

It's FINALLY December, and I'm as happy as can be!

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year. I start to get into the Christmas spirit of things in early October, so I feel like I've waited for this day forever.
But now it's finally here, and I spent all of yesterday putting up the last decorations. I'm in such a jolly mood; all I'm gonna do today is sit back, light a bunch of candles, listen to Crooners singing Christmas songs, watch Christmas movies and drink tea and eat cookies. What a very merry day it is!

Have the best 1st of December, and remember to be oh-so-happy and jolly today ♡

Walk in closet inspiration

These pictures are from IKEA's Livet Hemma blog, and today the post is about a walk-in closet - of course decorated with different items from IKEA.
There are no need for words here; I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves and let you get inspired - and maybe dreaming of a bigger closet?

A touch of brass

Another week is almost over, and a new one is about to begin. Yes, it's Sunday and it's getting darker and darker, and it seems like the rain will never stop pouring. So I thought it would be nice to post about a very light and Summery apartment today.
Yes, it's time for a new Göteborg apartment, and this one is a good one. I'm very much in love with metals at the moment, so these brass lamps are just to my liking. And who can resist a SMEG fridge and a small balcony? Certainly not me!
Have the greatest day, and don't forget to smile and be happy ♡

Very quick candle storage DIY

Hello Wednesday, how wonderful you are!
It's my day off, and luckily I woke up pretty early today. I did all of the chores before noon, so then I found myself kind of bored. That was when I started planning little things I could change around the apartment - nothing much, just move some stuff around and creating a little more space.

Anyway, since we've now really entered late Fall, it's kind of a given - at least to me - that we've also really entered candle season.
I'm the type of gal who spend a lot of money on candles during Fall and Winter. Every year I tell myself to stop lighting so many candles - not because it isn't wonderful and lovely (because it really is), but because I do spend so much money on them. But ah, every year I end up giving in, and every night is just a lovely and oh so "hyggelig" evening!
So I tend to buy candles by the bunch so that I never run out, but since do live in a studio apartment, I don't have much space for them.
That's why it was such an easy, quick and good idea to do this:

It's actually just two old plant pots, some four hour tea candles and two home made flags.
The flags are easy to make; all you need is a glue stick, some paper, a black marker and some grill sticks. Just make a little flag and mark on it the number of hours your candles will burn - it usually says so on the bag. Place the paper around the stick, glue them together and presto! You have a nice way of storing your candles - and as a bonus, it looks adorable!

That's it for today; I still have some projects left, but I'll see you tomorrow.
Have a fantastic Wednesday, remember to smile and be happy ♡
