Green Love

Before the summer I put this Monstera leaf in one of my favorite vases from TineK Home with a some water. How big was my surprise when I came home for a long two months summer vacation to fine out that the leaf grew roots!

One leaf, so fragile yet so strong!

I just had plat it and hope that it will give me a new Monstera plant.

Pure green love.

The Beauty and The Beast

Last winter we made room in our master bedroom for a vanity corner. I gor the perfect opportunity to combine 2 elements in this room -"the beauty and the beast": the beauty is this easy and trendy DIY decoration for the mirror. The TV is the beast: sometimes I wish we didn't have it, but since we are addicted to some TV-series, this is somehow a "must"

My husband was in charge to hang the TV on the wall and my job was to decorate the vanity corner.

I was thinking what kind of mirror should l get there and I had no doubt about how it had to look. The original designer-mirror had a price that didn't match my budget, so I had to do something about it. The round mirror from IKEA was perfect for my project. I “framed” it with two belts to create the designer trendy look.

The lightning around the mirror was the tricky part but I found inspiration on another trendy style and made a hanger out of cooper tubes from Clas Ohlson for the lamp.

The lamp is also from Clas Ohlson, but I painted with cooper paint to make it pop! I was inspired by the Urban Jungle Bloggers and I put a plant on my bedroom - I love the heart shape leaves.

My husband made my wish come true painting the wall with a very nice Green Cooper color from Clas Ohlson. I ejoy the contrast the green and the brown and colors that pop like the yellow and coral from this HAY trays. The cute pyramid is from Annaleena Design.

I had so much fun doing this make over that took me several months.

This Is How...

Did you like the string garden me and my friend Ivonne create to participate on this year "Interior and Design Fair styling competition: Botany and Flora In Action."

This is how we did it!

Materials:

Plant, choose a plant that only needs water ones a week.
Natural moss to cover the base
Scissors
Strong string

Carefully remove the plant from the pot making sure you leave enough soil to cover the roots. You can add a little more soil if needed.

Place the root ball in the middle of the sheet moss and wrap it around making sure the root ball is completely covered. Wrap it with the sting around the moss covering enough to hold it together. To finished tie a strong knot and use a long piece of string to hang.

To water, immerse the plant in a bucket of water for a couple of minutes, let drain and rehang.

Are you going to try it? I will like to see :)

Botanic Decorations

Last week we had some last summer days with amazing weather. It was a perfect opportunity to decorate with plants, flowers and candles both outside and inside and enjoy our home with family and friends.

My creative friend Ivonne and I set to work and we decided to focus on the patio and the big window that leads to it with botanic inspiration. We created a cute green string garden hanging free from the window and added plants with soft orange colors to the window ledge.

I let the pictures speak for themselves -I am very proud of the result.

With this post Ivonne and I wish to participate on this year "Interior and Design Fair styling competition: Botany and Flora In Action."

The Interior and Design Fair is going to take place in Bergen/Grieghallen, from the 18th to the 20th of October. For more information visit the Fair's Website, Blog, Instagram and Facebook Page.

I hope you had a nice summer.
