Helt herlig...



Ah syns dette bildet og ordene er så herlig!
Tenkte å få printa det ut på lerret å ha det ved skrivebordet mitt eller noe:)

Her er det litt jobbing med en fagoppgave i pedagogikk. Målet er å bli ferdig med den så fort som mulig så jeg kan konsentrere meg om matematikk eksamen (muntlig) *grøss*

Ønsker alle en fin onsdag og første dag i desember(JIPPI)
Her er det to spente gutter som er klare for pakkekalender
og herlige førjulsdager:)

Klem fra
Lotta

Ps. Takk for alle koselige kommentarer i går. Det var utrolig artig å ha Tv 8 på besøk.   Blir spennende å se det i morgen:) 

Utebelysning blir snyggast i enkelhet

Har inte hunnit få upp min utebelysning än, alltid dilemmat, hur ska man hinna. Men å andra sidan är det väl egentligen ingen stress, det är bara jag själv som gärna vill se det lysa i snön. Snart så. Men det får inte vara för mycket - det enkla är alltid snyggast!

I haven't had the time yet, but soon I will, to put up light in my garden. It looks so nice when its dark outside and now when its snow it looks even better. To me simple is best as always!

Love for Belgian Linen

Last week I had an appointment with the representative of LIBECO, our world-known company for Belgian linen. It was a few months ago since he visited and I really needed some information about new linens, especially about the Libeco Home Collection, table and bed linen.

I am always surprised about all these beautiful, different textures and range of colors ! I just love the natural touch of our Belgian linen.

Since Axel Vervoordt introduced us to the linen slipcovers for seats and chairs, a lot of designers started to work with linen.

In Belgian interiors you will see linen used for draperies and blinds, for seating upholstery, table, bed and bath linen.

I am not aiming to tell you about the history of linen today, I want you to give some ideas how to use linen in your interior.

But if you want to know more about the flax’ history you will find a lot to read at the LIBECO website HERE.

Diane Dorrans Seaks of the Style Saloniste blog wrote a very interesting blogpost about Belgian linen HERE ! It is a most interesting article to read!

Growing up in the Belgian area, known for the linen industry, will definitely explain my love for linen.

I really love the combination of natural materials as here in our library, a combination of an oak woodpaneling and a linen upholstered seat.

There is a wide range of colors and textures available in linen fabrics.

And did you know that from the moment you order a certain number of meters, the LIBECO company will dye the linen in your particular chosen color!!!

So, linen can be used for all your window treatment.

Just love the color of the draperies matching the oak parquetry floor. Beautiful!

One of my favorite colors is celadon. Libeco offers a lot of shades of celadon linen. The Garnier’s sofa with a celadon slipcover.
