Lovely monochrome Oslo apartment with touches of concrete, black and wood

I promised myself there'd be no more white homes for a while. The problem is I just love them. So here's one more. Last one this week I promise! But this black and white Oslo home is rather beautiful don't you think?

It's interesting how they've placed the fridge partly in front of the blackboard, which you wouldn't necessarily think would work, but looks very cool. Ooooo and on a closer look the dining table is actually an old table with a glass surface. Now that's cool. So is the wood over the brick. And the concrete....aaaah, so many wonderful touches.

Tuesday DIY project: pretty children's tent

Seeing as I am in child bedroom mode today....the time has come when turning the entire sitting room into a 'camp' is just no longer viable - the tidying up! GRRR. but when I looked in the shops nothing seemed to fit. Then, today via wonderful blog Cakies I spied this idea (below) and think i've found the perfect solution. hello DIY project. hello pretty fabric.goodbye sofa camp. HURRAH!

To find out how to make a fantastically cool A-Frame Tent follow the instructions over at Cakie here. Then at the end of the day you can prop it against the children's bedroom wall for a fun and pretty screen. PERFECTIMO!

Oh and if you get around to making one, don't forget to share it with us. I promise to share mine!!

Delightful children's rooms with great storage ideas

Morning! There's nothing like a lovely children's room to brighten up the day. My little girls are only teeny (3 and 1!) and share a room (i thought it would be lovely for them to natter away after the lights have gone out). The problem is they've so many 'things'!! And we who love interior design know that lots of little things don't always make for a pretty room.  but these delightful rooms show that there are ways to store and be practical and most importantly pretty!!!

I do love me a bit of vintage children's room. Only one pic here today, but there's lots of wonderful inspiration out there. For example, check out this post at wonderful blog the boo and the boy. I believe that no home is complete without at least one item older than yourself, what do you reckon?

Go to the dark side. Decorating with black

From one extreme to the next this Monday! I don't know about in your country but sadly within an hour or so it'll be pitch black here. And do you know what?? Today i feel like celebrating that darkness by posting cosy spaces in black and wood, with a few vintage touches (of course!). These three lovely rooms show that perhaps the dark side is not so bad afterall?!

What do you reckon? Is black something for you? I actually have a black wall in my bedroom and it's soooo cosy, i've never got bored of it. Have a lovely evening!
