Stuen min del 1 / My Living Room - part 1

Dette er ca 1/4 av stuen min. Sjeselongen (som skal trekkes om) er stedet hvor magasiner leses, kosestunder med datteren, avslapning, og helt til høyre i bildet - litt DIY (Do it Yourself) underveis (mer om den senere!). Gardinene er av silke og kommer fra Linen Factory som holder til blant annet på Sandvika Storsenter. Kvaliteten er fantastisk og de kommer ferdig forede for en fyldigere effekt. Rammene på veggen er alle vintage fra ebay. Glassurnene i vinduet kommer fra IKEA og jernurnen er fra en liten koselig blomsterbutikk på Kampen i Oslo (en julegave). Listverket er fra Byggdekor.no. Lysekronen og tapeten er fra en av mine favorittbutikker, Laura Ashley. Biedemeier chaiseloungen er en gave fra en utrolig god venninne! :)

This is about a forth of my living room / dining room. The Biedemeier chaiselounge (which is going to be reupholstered) is one of my favorite places in our home, and I use it for reading magazines & books, cozy breaks with my daughter where she lies on top of me gazing at the chandelier that I spin around with my feet, and little naps (every member of the family LOVES to doze off here!). In the right hand corner of the picture you can see my latest DIY... (more about that later, though!). The silk curtains from Linen Factory are breaking the floor. All of the frames are vintage from ebay. The glass urns in the window are from IKEA and the metal urn is from a little flower shop in Kampen, Oslo (it was a Christmas gift a few years ago. The moldings are from Byggdekor.no. The wallpaper and chandelier is from one of my favorite stores, Laura Ashley. The Biedermeier Chaiselounge is a gift from one of my best friends :)

En av de viktigste tingene for meg er symmetri. Ser du hva som er til daglig irritasjon for meg her?

So being completely fixated on symmetri, there's something about this interior that totally bugs me. Can you tell what it is?

Artisjokk-gardinstang fra Maxbo.

Artichoke curtain rod from Maxbo.

Her har jeg rammet inn noen av mine favortitt-ting. Kameen er et arvestykke fra oldemoren min. Jeg synes den er alt for nydelig til å bli liggende skjult i et smykkeskrin. Skjellene har niesen til Mr B på 10 år plukket på stranden, og hun ga de til oss når jeg var gravid. De tre skjellene passer perfekt inni hverandre (en liten familie). Alt ble rammet inn av Artwork. Trenger du en god innrammer, kan jeg absolutt anbefale. Han kan kontaktes på tlf: 93072030 (holder til i Oslo).

I've framed some of my favorite items. The cameo is a family heirloom i inherited from my great grandmother. I think it's far too beautiful to be hidden in some jewelery box. The shells were picked by Mr Bs 10 year old niece on the beach where they live, and she gave it to me while I was pregnant. Each shell fits perfectly into the bigger one, so they're like a little famly.

ness lockyer said...: I think it looks great. If you are looking for something and being fixated on symmetry...maybe it is the Chaise? Having an end on one side and not the other. Other than that I dont know.

My Wonderworld said...: Se her begynner det å ta form ja! Så fint det har blitt. Likte såå godt sjeselongen og de fine rammene. Gøy å kunne ramme inn noe som faktisk har en historie eller betydning for en.

Ha en fin dag!; February 26, 2009 4:28 PM
Ninas Drops said...: Ja helt herlig ble det.
Nydelige gardiner.
Og den sjeselongen..Gleder meg til å se den "ny" og.
Ha en fin kveld.
Her blir det blader å lese.

A-M said...: No I can't work out what would bug you wrt symmetry! Beautiful room! A-M xx; February 26, 2009 8:37 PM
Beautiful Living said...: Ness - no, that's not it, I can accept the chaise... Good guess though! :)

MW - Tusen takk, det begynner å komme seg nå, ja! Men lenge til ferdig enda. DIY-prosjektet ute i kanten kommer til å gjøre ganske stor forskjell, også har vi planlagt noen innebygde hyller i en nisje til venstre for chaisen.

Drops - Å, nye blader, din heldiggris! Jeg har akkurat kjøpt meg Boligpluss og det er utrolig bra!

AM - Thank you so much :) If you look closely, you can see that there's a real hiccup there.. And it's all my fault :(; February 26, 2009 8:45 PM
Laila said...: Lampen henger skjevt i forhold til vinduet. ;-) Slik er jeg også...

Men alt i alt nydelig. Likte gradinene dine så godt! Elsker den fargen!; February 26, 2009 10:02 PM
CHÂTEAU DE KONSTANSE said...: Så flott det er blitt i stuen din!
Behagelige og samstemte farger:-)
Og gardinene var nydelige...
Vil se mer*s*

Ang symetrien,-er det stikkontakten eller mønsteret på tapeten? ;-)

Ellers takk for utfordringen,-håper det er ok at jeg "sparer" den til litt senere...av den enkle grunn at jeg ikke har noe kjøkken nå, og alle kjøkkenfavoritter ligger godt pakket ned..thihi.
Men jeg vet alt hva jeg skal vise:-)
Gulvet er i alle fall kommet på plass, og i morgen kommer en snekker for å se på vinduene som skal inn der...så det nærmer seg et rom*S*

Ha en fin helg!

Lauren said...: It's so beautiful!!!! And so you!!!! love everything about it!! (I don't see your hiccup at all!!!) I lvoe how you framed the cameo & shells- just so personal & pretty. The chaise is such a great piece to have too. And the drapes ar perfection! I'd love to see a close-up of the wallpaper!!

Beautiful Living said...: Laila - helt riktig, jeg irriterer meg grønn over det!!

Cat - tusen takk! Det er dessverre ikke så mye mer å se akkurat nå, jeg er så forferdelig misfornøyd med sofaene mine, så jeg vet ikke helt hva jeg skal gjøre (sambo NEKTER å bytte de ut inntil videre). Regner nesten med at du skulle spare på utfordringen, men vet samtidig at jeg absolutt vil se ditt kjøkken. Gleder meg! :D

Lauren - Thank you!!! I love everything too (lol). The drapes are actually really reasonable, AND the quality is fantastic, so I'm really happy about them :); February 27, 2009 9:30 AM
Beautiful Living said...: Oh, and my pet peeve is the chandelier, it's not centered against the window!; February 27, 2009 11:40 AM
Meg, mitt og mine engler... said...: Lampen henger litt "feil" i forhold til vinduet?
Nydelige gardiner!! Elsker fargen på de!
Blir kjempefint hos dere!!
Ha en fin dag :)

Mrs. B. said...: What a gorgeous, comfortable room! I love that chaise, even with it's old upholstery.
Everything there is just wonderful. :); February 27, 2009 3:42 PM
Cass said...: Lovely and unusual blog. Thanks! Love your colors.

Tamara Jansen said...: The couch/sofa only has an arm on one side.....my husband has the same problem with symmetry issues :); February 27, 2009 11:57 PM
Stephanie ~ Angelic Accents said...: Oh, what a terrific chaise! Can't wait to see how you reupholster it. And your wallpaper & curtains are yummy!

Meade Design Group said...: I love your chaise-lounge. I have been looking to get one for my studio. For me the chaise-lounge is the most decadent piece of furniture.; February 28, 2009 5:14 AM
Liz@Violet Posy said...: That chaise is so pretty I love it! I'm toying with getting mine recovered but I can't decide. I kind of like it bright red and snuggly :) Look forward to seeing yours when it's done; February 28, 2009 10:00 PM
Catherine said...: Such a beautiful, romantic room Dagny. Just the spot for a cozy nap, like you said! Love the little touches such as your grandmother's cameo, framed.; March 2, 2009 1:11 PM
Andy said...: I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Beautiful Living said...: MMME - Hehe, du har helt rett og tusen takk! :D

Mrs B - Thank you, that's exactly what I'm aiming for!

Cass - I really appreciate you saying that, it really is one of my goals.

Tamara - Isn't it weird how you can get totally stuck on certain things?

Steph - Thank you, I'm definitly looking forward to getting it done. I'm not sure if it's a DIY job, though (although DIY is so much more budget friendly)

Meade (Ivan?) - I absolutely agree with you.

Liz - Oh, red sounds nice! Haven't decided on fabric yet. Do you have a pic of yours?

Catherine - Thank you, doesn't it set a mood? I absolutely love it!

Andy - Thank you so much for commenting and complimenting my blog! I would love to hear from you again!; March 3, 2009 8:11 PM
