Hot trend: decorating with duct tape
All those years of carefully mounting our beloved prints in pretty frames and spending hours thinking about how to hang masks / scuptures / necklaces and now, the hot trend from Norway? Putting things up with sticky tape. And I love it! What do you reckon?

Swedish home teeming with flea market finds
Morning! I'm a bit bleary eyed as I've just got back from stunning and vibrant Cape Town, South Africa. It was such a creative city, brimming with inspiration. The interior style vibe is similar to Scandinavia with natural materials, white walls and flashes of bright colours. This Swedish home from Sköna Hem seemed a very apt nod to my trip. I love all the flea market finds, the industrial lighting and tourquoise and white bedroom.

| Ullis - the wonderful guest blogger from Friday has industrial lights like these which she found at a flea market in Malmö, Sweden. Try Etsy. Painting wooden floors to create a harlequin effect has become the kitchen floor du jour in Sweden and Norway. |
 |
| Such a great idea to take all the pages from an old 'biology' book and create a wall piece, I think it looks really lovely. |
 |
| You can find large letters like these at the Old Cinema in London. Again, try Etsy for industrial lighting. |
Ta da for now!
It's the simple things in life with this beautiful home
Morning, and a happy Monday to you! Sometimes you see a set of pictures and they just blow you away. Like now, when I came across the Norwegian blog Moa og Kaffekoppen and Moa's incredible pics of her home. Very simple, very minimalistic and very lovely. Thank you Moa!
These are a few of my favourite things...
Hi, so I'm Ullis... I live in a house amongst stacks of interior mags, with a head full of interior ideas, unfinished projects and a wish for my very own handyman to come and execute them all. I wouldn't mind if the handyman had a generous wallet too...
I have a particular obsession with lighting in all shapes, sizes or forms. Any lighting signed Tom Dixon is a particular favourite and more than welcome into my home! I love the play with contrasts - industrial vs. organic, hard vs. soft, cold vs. warm. Like his Bulb Chandelier (below). It almost looks like a diamond ring.
Shown above is the geometrical Etch Light. Pictures are from Tom Dixons catalogue which you can find here. Lighting doesn't always need to be a source of light, it can just serve the purpose of an illuminous installation. I am seriously contemplating something like this to greet guests in the hall...
A scavanger hunt for desk lamps at the 2nd hand stores, a saw, some spray paint, glue and light cords later and you could create something like the above. But sometimes it's not even the light itself that's of interest, it's where or how you place it!

Credit owed where credit is due - I have a folder full of inspirational pictures I have saved over the years making it difficult to trace the source. If you know where the above three pics are from, please let me know and I will update the post!
That's all from me. Lights out!
Niki is back after the weekend. Have a bright one!
