Make up store

time has finally come to fix the last facade with lime paint,
in a pink soft shade. The temperature should be fine by now.
 This is what the new bay window in the kitchen looks from  the 
outside. My design came out just the way I wanted it to.
 There are still a few more things to work out with the tinsmith....

Believe me, when I say
....... 
He has the patience of an angel!!

Let there be light

having fun with a Nex7
 suddenly the light was so bright
 I have some reading to do

Out of sharpness

A Bouquet of Easter

living some intense days with bright colors
is fine for the Easter holiday.....then I will be done for this year (again)
So today I enjoy having my egg served 
in this antique cup from Rörstrand
and hoping for some warm weather to occur.
It's time to bring them paint brushes outdoors
to finish up the newly built sun porch.

Closed doors

would be nice for a new cupboard in the kitchen.
 Made to measure is my intention for this project
(and a cleaner outlook)
There is a couple of old doors remaining from another one 
So I'm into drawing.....and persuading!!
All for a good cause...less polishing seems to
be a great argument to this one.

❤ Wish me luck ❤

Make me pretty

the toolbox is closed for now
but
the box with paintbrushes just opened up
 time for some serious hours (and days) with putty and linseed oil
Then the marble counter top 
 The returning daylight is merciless, 
but so am I working my spatels and brushes.
My intention is to match the old cupboard in the kitchen,
painted many years ago in a soft greyish tone
 Handles and knobs will also be the same
I will be awarded a home cooked Japenese dinner tonight,
feels like my work today it's worth it

and
there's a funny combination of aromas
in my kitchen right now!

No kidding....

the famous Nordic daylight
is back......
Today, on a sunny Sunday morning at 10 am, Feb 26th
It's rather hurting one's eyes 
Today it feels like the we're at open air,
no camera in the world will do justice to this brightness!!

By heart...

ty just nu idag 
så köpte han
en liten ros i en blomsteraffär
En ros röd som blod så att jag förstod 
att det är mig som han håller kär.


Valentines dinner for two,
now cooking!

Perfect day for a spa....

     Hairdresser   ✂  
   Workout session  
     Facial treatment  ✓ 
The Polar icy winter hit us a couple of days ago, a little late this year!
and I'm truly grateful for some nice hot water and a tub.
The antigue towel bar needed an extra piece of mold, 
shaped as an identical copy, to fit onto the side of the tub.
Tricky slippery little thing working that saw!!
