Bear with me, because today the post will be in english only.

As you can see from the green spots of paint on the floor, the canvas which is not painted on (just a muted chalk sketch), and lamps in the sofa (and remember my advantage to show you just what I want!) it´s clearly that “the cafeteria” makeover is not done. But oh my, I love it. Head over heals in love I will say. The ceiling need its last coat of shiny paint, and the floors will get done after that. But I just had to put the offshoots in the windowsill, hang up my totally gorgeous handmade woven rug on the wall (look at those colours!) which made my heart skip a couple of beats when I found it in the thrift store. And speaking of rugs the green one is also a finding from last week, costed 150 Norwegian Kroner (13 British Punds, 18 American dollar), and it´s handwoven wool from the Swedish Tabergs. The thrift shops were like a goodie bag after the summer closing, so I went in and out from the same shop four times to be able to get it all in the car. And it seriously just cost me the same as a plain dinner for two (without the dessert and beer!). Back to the offshoots – I will show you how they turn out after a while, ´cause in the other windowsill I got seven palette leaf plants just out of one mother plant I bought some months ago! Stay tuned, and thanks for dropping by, sharing posts with others and voting for me on the Amara Interior Blog Awards!

      Hei Rebecka, og takk så mye! Sofaen er en av mine favoritter også, kjøpt brukt på en kafeteria for endel år siden. Og for å få inn mer av både ulike teksturer og en nydelig farge, så tok jeg min andre sennepsfargede fløyelsgardin rundt sitteputene, og det ser flott ut! (den tilhørende er på daybed´en på verkstedet). Lykke til med graviditeten og alt som kommer etterpå! Og den blomsterkanna fra Lagerhaus du viser i din Tisdagsgodis kjøpte jeg for en stund siden, og brukes hver dag. Både søt og praktisk!

    This room is so lovely. I see why you adore it so much. That wall hanging is gorgeous. This makes me want to repaint my whole house.

      Thank you! Yes, why not? Maybe it´s time to do some painting. A cheap and very transformative thing to do 🙂

    […] noen dager siden viste jeg dere det uferdige grønne rommet, og jeg skrev om avleggerne i vinduskarmen. Alle kommer fra denne ene planta (også her) som pleide å stå i gangen. Men så […]

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
