Interiør i New York?
Bilder fra tavla på kjøkkenet og Nicholas og meg i NY 2006
God kveld!
Her er det USA feber så det holder. Om bare få dager reiser mannen og jeg til NY og Washington DC. Egentlig skulle vi reise i desember da jeg fyller 30, men pga forskjellige ting reiser vi nå istedenfor. Har vært i NY to ganger tidligere (2004 og 2006). Og det skal sies at jeg ikke var like interessert i interiør den gangen som jeg er nå. Har du forslag til interiørbutikker, markeder osv så blir jeg veldig glad hvis du legger igjen en kommentar under her:)
Ønsker deg som titter innom en herlig kveld!
Jeg nynner videre på Frank Sinatra og Alicia Keys....

It is all about craftsmanship
One of our clients contacted us with a rather unusual question. A few years ago he had bought a beautiful 19th century gothic styled architectural element for its beauty and the craftsmanship this piece radiated.
So this client asked my company LEFEVRE INTERIORS not only to restore this damaged wooden element but even to design a bookcase in which this element could be integrated! Not that simple!
First of all we had to restore the damaged woodcarving of the existing element and second we had to find the suitable gothic design details in order to start the design of the bookcase. I browsed into all the books I could possibly find about gothic ornaments and here is what we made of it.
Finally our client was most pleased with the result!
This is the bookcase brought in at our client’s home.

It all started with this existing gothic element we used as the upper part of the bookcase.

This is the new gothic paneling of the lower part of the bookcase.

I can’t find a before picture of the existing element anymore, but you should notice that the wood was mostly uncolored. Our client wanted to have a ‘tobacco’ finish of the wood.
The bookcase now is ready to be filled with books!

I do love working with antique elements and thinking about a way to integrate them in an interior design project.
As this French walnut 18th century double door I bought in France some years ago. I couldn’t resist its beauty!
The door is awaiting its final destination into a client’s home, or maybe brought in at my own home one day!
Can you imagine this door used in a design project as in these French styled paneled rooms :

Isn’t the detailling of the hand woodcarving stunning?

Whether you like these shown antique elements or not, it is all about the craftmanship, don’t you agree?!

Bathroom decorations
Back in business, eller det kanske var lite överdrivet, men jag är på plats igen efter en veckas skidåkning i Österrike. Puh, är helt slut, otroligt vad det tar i benen och all den friska luften därtill. Läste i tidningen i morse att det är musarmens dag i dag (?!), så passande då att jag nu sitter här vid datorn igen och bloggar. Hittade lite fina bilder hos danska Rum med dekorationer i badrummet. Ska vara ärlig och säga att jag alltid varit lite skeptiskt till just för mycket vardagsrumskänsla i badrummet... men det här var ändå fint.
I'm back again from one weeks skiing in Austria. (Did anyone notice I was gone?). Skiing is really hard work if youre out of condition as I am. My legs oh... the whole thing felt like a training camp with 'sauer kraut' for lunch. And all that fresh air. But it was fun. Anyway here I am again with some inspiration for bathrooms decoration.

Nye puter
God kveld!
Med meg hjem i går ble også to nye rundputer.
Har hatt de samme putene lenge nå, så det var deilig med litt forandring.
Putene er fra Bloomingville og er kjøpt på Design Mix her i Drøbak.
I dag har Noah og jeg vært på kino og sett Gråtass.
En veldig koselig film som jeg anbefaller på det varmeste.
Her er det lørdagskveld med det som hører til og chai latte på ho mor

Magasin 36 i Höganäs
Samtidigt som Tine K visningen häromveckan blev det ett besök i den häftiga butiken Magasin 36 i Höganäs. Jag har tänkt åka och besöka den här flera gånger tidigare men inte kommit iväg, men nu fick jag äntligen chansen. Det var verkligen en överraskning. Den ligger i en gammal keramik fabrik och det är så kul när man kommer till ett ställe och får se något riktigt annorlunda. En skön blandning av gammalt, rustikt, industri, franskt men också lite asiatiskt. Men inte bara gammalt utan även en del nytt som Himla och Bloomingville.
This is from a shop in Höganäs, Sweden called Magasin 36. Its located in an old ceramic factory. Even if I've heard about this place before, I was totally surprised by how it all looked. So different. It has a fun mix of old, rustic, industrial, french, asian but also some new like products from Himla and Bloomingville.
