Glitter All Around Me...

So the Heimtex fair, is more about seeing what the wallpaper, textiles and area rug producers are making for the coming season (and not so much about trends).

However, there is one thing that REALLY stood out in the wallpaper category, and that was glitter.

Having always been a HUGE fan of everything sparkling, I was on a mission to find the producer of the wallpaper on the image below. And I DID!


The glitter wallpaper came in all types and variations, but THIS was the mother of glitter. Have you seen anything like it? I know I'm head over heels, and would have LOVED to do a version of this in our guest bath!


What do you think? 

Glitter all the way, ot not for you?

Meanwhile, I'm lost in these earrings... P.U.R.E perfection!!


From here - sold out of course...

A Knitted Wall



We just launched this wallpaper at Fargerike, and it's designed by our local color- and design experts especially for the Norwegian market. The design team were inspired by the nature, things rustic, Norwegian traditions and, obviously, knitting!



The design comes in a very limited edition.



The colors comes from one of our color charts, called Nuances of Grey.


Best of all, Fargerike is giving away 4 rolls of the wallpaper! All you need to do, is to leave a comment over at their blog. Click HERE to see the post and to enter the giveaway.

Stylist: Linda Elmin / Hviit, Photographer: Birgit Fauske

What do you think? Like the effect?

Hapy Saturday!!

Great DIY Project!


This 3D wallpaper from an installation by Swedish Deisgn Front Group is nothing less than pure perfection, and actually a super easy look to achieve.


All you need, is to buy a bunch of fake flowers (IKEA has some great ones), and bring out the dreaded washi tape ;)

Would you try this at home??

Christmas at the Scandinavian Chic Casa (aka Our House!)

Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I have to admit, I prefer theholiday to be traditional and colorful. With nuances of red, gold and green. The new Hummingbird wallpaper in the living/dining room, is perfect for this and actually all other seasons. The color palette is so rich, and it's easy to extract the colors you want.


Our sofa is a big lounge sofa, it fits the whole family plus a LOT more (which is good, since we often have visitors). My love for nuances of red, pink and orange combined with purple is veeery visible. The small red painting is made by my 3,5 year old daughter. :)


The bookshelf has it's own "santa section" with a combination of a Russian matryoshka Santa, some home made ones, and a metal pair that our kids love.


Our tree is the traditional Norwegian spruce (gran) which I'm deeply attached to (no plastic in this house!). 
(PS! We got drapes!! (not looking too good in this photo, totally forgot about them before I took the pic :))


Some of my favorite ornaments. The orange glitter ball is actually made of plastic, but it's still one of my absolute faves. The golden acorns (nøttene) were bought from THIS etsy shop and is another favorite. The monkey in the background was bought in Poland.


Flags is another must, and they remind me of my great grandmothers Christmas tree. The white "snow ball" is from Milla Boutique.


Vintage disco balls are also a total MUST and also something my great grandmother used to have on her tree. These ones are vintage, and from ebay.


I HAD to add this last photo. It's my first year of actually baking, and I decorated the gingerbread hearts. So not perfect, and this was actually the best one! LOL!

Anyways, I still hope your Christmas turned out exactly the way you wished for.

Loveable Tangerine Tango!



The pinkish/orangeish/reddish color, more populary reffered to as Tangerine Tango in 2012, is most definitely an important color in the coming year. It's a brighter and more intense version of my old favorite, Coral, and not surprisingly, I love this one as well :)


I'll be doing some posts about this color in the coming weeks, and in the end of January, I'll be revealing what color Fargerike is predicting to be color of the year for the Norwegian market.

This room would have been perfect if it had a chic color on the walls (as in not white).

Tangerine Tango can be seen on the ottoman and cushions.

Hope you've all had a peaceful Christmas / Chanukka / Eid (or whatever you celebrate :))

Chic or Shit: Washi Tape AND Hot Pink

I know some of you have missed the Chic or Shit series, and I just realized that I haven't done one in ages! Today's trend is HUGE here in Scandinavia, but it's also present in the rest of our continent as well as in the US and Australia.

Everyone and their mother seems to be washi taping things to their walls these days.. And if you're über trendy, you go for the HOT PINK version...

image from here

Pink and striped washi tape on a rustic background.

Hot pink and peach washi with a brighter background gives a totally different look and feel to it


image from here

You can even make your own faux headboard with it..

Or hang artwork.


SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Incredibly hot and stylish?

Or just plain stupid, with a naïve approach to decor?

Is it a cheap way to add interest?

Or does it make you throw up a little?

You decide, 

Is it CHIC, or is it SHIT??

Happy Wednesday!!

What about you? Do you have any hangups for the coming season?
