Moss Fantasy!

Another obsession of mine is mushrooms and moss!!! I think decorations with moss look like something out of a fairytale, and I wanted ideas for me to do.,....eventually (when I finally move in)... so I searched the internet near and wide for ideas... if you know of any brilliant pictures, please notify me :)

Look, love and be spellbound!

Check this out!! I think it would look brilliant on my porch, or near my birch tree... those shrooms are fake, made of concrete... I want!!!


Isnt this just the coolest table decoration? I am so doing this someday... Martha Stewart of course... who else really? Anyways, I think it looks so whimsical and fun!!!
Terrariums are a fun and super decorative way of taking alittle woodland into your livingroom!!! I love the absolute greeness! And the smell of soil... I found a tutorial online, which I am gonna use... as soon as I can... I've even bought a perfect glass container for it!!! But untill I have my own... take a look at these:
And doesnt everything simply look better with moss growing on it?!???
Well I think it looks brilliant!!!! :)

Birds in my head... keeps singing to me...

Yes, I know... I have once again decided to change the layout, and this time even the name... .Not to mention the language... I really must do this in english from now on... due to a billion and one requests from friends around the globe, that simply dont get norwegian! Ha ha... I am not entirely sure about the header yet... Loving the mushrooms, but it's a bit dull....

Anyhow, my old name just wasnt fitting anymore, now that I have two cats and not one... My 2nd one has yet to come home, but I cant wait! She is the most adorable little furry black thing you've ever seen! I just hope Hexa will behave! She's been known to have a fierce claw!!!

Lately I havent been able to sleep because of all the ideas fluttering about in my heads... like little birds they are, refusing to leave me alone... and birds are my new love! I just love little things with birds on them! And so I have hunted the net far and wide for lovely bird-things... not to mention cages! I dream of an old beatuifully rusted cage for me to decorate with living flowers and plants... But so far I havent found any that wont completely empty out my poor bank account. But I shall not give up... one day it might show up :)

So eventually I caved in and bought myself some lovely prints from Chad Barrette... these are now hanging up in my ever so green and fresh dining room... Which is still a little messy from continued furniture painting, so no pictures just yet....

I've also been drooling over America Retold's 'nest' collection... and seeing as I have an amazing friend in the US (thanks Darcy) I have been able to get a hold of one... Now I just have to wait for this beauty to show up in my mail!

It will look stunning in my wall with the prints!!! Don't you think... and I just love that green tinted verdigris patina.... Just lovely! Of course I wouldnt mind something else from that series... but hey... gotta try and save some cash these days... I've all of the sudden have a morgage to handle, AND bills o.O And how about these lovely verdigris sparrows? Oh yes... they are simply darling if you ask me.... I can't help it.... I've got the bird flu! Ha ha...


And here we go... this is my dream!!! I think it's just amazing... picture taken from Good Housekeeping... I love green and rust... Gives you that forgotten garden look.... Just like a fairytale.... siiigh...

And of course I would just love some fake birds eggs... greenish og blueish... I would place them anywhere, in flowerpots, as table decorations... you name it... So far I have been unable to find any in Norway (sigh!!!)


Thats it tor today folks... feast for you eyes... Next time I shall try to get around to showing off some more of the Witchy Cottage ;) It is getting nearer and nearer to move in day... Now I just need my bathroom to be finnished, and a few more layers of paint on a few more furniture pieces... and of course... my curtains will need to go up... No fun without... I cant wait to unpack all my stuff... and I have alot... the curse of a decorator maniac like me I guess.... My sister says I have more junk than a 80 year old woman... allready... great... ha ha!

Have a brilliant mid-week everyone!

Svale Drømmer

Endelig er det et rom som er ferdig!!! Hah!!! Mangler bare sengetøy og gardiner. Som jeg forøvrig har, men ikke hengt opp enda :)

Jeg lar bildene tale for seg... for de som ikke husker hvordan det så ut.. det var grå tapet på veggene, og ellers ganske kjedelig...

Jeg er storfornøyd, det ble perfekt! Svalt, luftig og passe ekslusivt! Ett fantastisk bedouir for moi!

Fargene på bildene er litt "off".... Det er mer grønn nyanse, og ikke fullt så lyseblå...
Sengen og nattbordene som en gang var mørkebrune, har blitt hvite... Veggene malt, og tapetsert....

Lampene er kjøpt på Christiana belysning... Likte at de så ut som klokke-blomster...
Nærbilde av sengen, med detaljer av tapetet også...
Skapene mine, som en gang var grufulle hvite melamin... har fått samme farge som veggene, og nye porselensknotter :)
Knaggene mine på enden av klesskapene... Fargen på skapene er den samme som på vegg, selv om det ikke ser sånn ut her. Jeg har tilogmed kjøpt meg morgenkåpe... som vil stå i stil... skal det være så skal det være... Bildene rettferdigjør ikke rommet... Jeg syns det ble ganske breathtaking :) Gleder meg til å overnatte nå....

Masse klemmer til pappa som har gjort dette mulig, min egen lille MacGyver, Morten som malte alle veggene mine uten å klage, og ikke minst mamma som vasker så skummet står... mens jeg vimser mest rundt og sukker av fryd!
