feels so good to finally make time for a few things i've been wanting to do for a long time. decorating my loft is one. i finally spent some time on it the past few weeks... so fun. here's a quick shot of my kitchen. i finally found the perfect chairs for my little desk area....
i found a new amazing flea market this week. it's beauuutiful. gonna feature them here soon. these orange school chairs stole my heart.
i'll show more home pics soon! i'm determined to get all the loose ends tied up so i can make another little house tour video like we did at my last loft (aughhh... it already feels so dated. so two years ago. ha! it's a fun memory though....). i've been in my new loft almost a whole year. really love this street.
oh yes, and i have a couple of new paintings.... big ones.
these are the colors i've been really loving as of late. you can see more pics here.
i decided to try to wear my hair flat all week (as in not teased on the top.. not flat ironed.) it's weird how hard it is for me to deal with having flat hair. it's just a habit, but i've been teasing my hair for a couple years now. i just don't want to be one of those people who gets stuck in a trend, like forever. must make room for new trends... or at least take a week off. ;)
i finished the cuuuuutest kit last night. it will be out in a couple weeks for our update around the 1st. so excited to share. maybe i'll at least share sneak peeks early?
LOVEyouuuuu. elsie
You're kitchen so soooo cute! I love the open shelves and the green on the wall behind. Adorable!

I love the kitchen! The open shelves with colorful dishes reminds me of the show Friends, and the chairs remind me of, well, elementary school!

Love the bright colours in your kitchen, it's so cheerful!
Hair spray's a hard habbit to kick, i know. But you can survive without it, I promise ;)

I adore your kitchen-space,
that's how I want my kitchen to look like, but we never make the time to organize it. And it's big, I'd easily fit both a bigger shelf, a small desk AND the kitchen table in there, but we never do anything about it, as I said. *le sigh*
Oh well, looking at your pictures inspires me to do something about it.
At the moment, the corner in the kitchen is my crafty nest; http://pysselninja.blogspot.com/2009/07/pysselhorna.html
oh well, we'll see what I'll do about it.
Cheers & have a great weekend!!

Love your kitchen for sure! It's super colorful which I love! So I checked out your "cribs" video and noticed I have the same shower curtain. Now I just need to know if I'm outdated or not?? So for sure do a new video! ;)
