10 easy steps to change your entire home

ten steps in making your home the place you want it to be:

1. walk around your home and take pictures, you`ll get the before-and-after-picture-experience

2. take a weekend to declutter, don`t forget the closets

3. organize your storage: buy transparent plastic boxes and label them, stock them in shelves

4. make a plan on what you want to change in each room. find out what you want and need from each room. what function it has.
for example the hallway: if it`s unorganized, floating with clutter: buy a shoe shelf and a shoe closet, if it`s dark and cold: paint it in a light and slightly warm tone, install more lighting, get plants

                            before                                                                         after

5. get started one room at a time: start with the room that needs the least work

6. buy everything you need during the week, renovate on the weekend

7. warn your family;)

8. do the changes to the rooms, one at a time. do it in your own pace. it might take you a year or it might take you a month
9. make the final touches. take your after-pictures

10. have a party and show off your new home. show then the before pictures and enjoy!

nicole`s daily train trip

another week has past with learning how to sell kitchens. have to admit that it was quite an exhausting week. but after work yesterday i just went to bed and slept 13 hours straight. so.

now i feel better and just relaxed the whole day with my two men at home.

fall is progressing more and more. i got of the train one morning to take pictures of the view like i promised you. the pictures are taken from a trainstation. Would be nice to live there and see this view first thing in the morning.

so this is what i see twice a day! lucky me :D

have a good week while i keep selling kitchens;)

an old house

hi again!
the blog has become a weekly thing since my life is so crazy busy...
we are enjoying the most beautiful (cold) but sunny fall weather. i love it. fall is my favourite season of all:) maybe because i`m born there.
yesterday we were at a viewing for an old house, we really need something bigger. and since the cars were set on fire in my neighborhood i want to move even more. problem is that the move was scheduled for 2012 and not now.
i can only give you a little peek of the house we looked at. we liked it quite good. it`s from 1912 and doesn`t look very good right now. needs a lot of work. but it seemes that the structure is ok.
is that a good idea?

hamburg interior

some more pictures from my weekend in hamburg. i liked this interior of a company!

after some really busy and active weeks i gave my brain some rest this weekend. started to become quite exhausted;)
here in norway fall has begun. at least it feels like it. cooler and a lot of rain. but it doesn`t matter..we have sunshine in our hearts:) cheesy;) haha
i wanted to cut those last tiles so badly today, but it`s raining again... am not that eager that i do it in the rain;) how is the weather in your region?

have a great week!

hamburg, germany

now i was really quiet the past two weeks. guess it was because of jobstart and a weekend in germany with two really good girlfriends that i hadn`t seen forever.

am exhausted everyday thanks to tons of information my brain is being fed with.

but i think it`s all good. nice colleagues and finally working with design again. i also enjoy seeing the fjord twice a day on my traintrip to the city:) might show you some pictures soon.

this weekend i am all alone with the little boy. my daughter is at her daddy`s (every other weekend) and my man is on a trip with his buddy:)

i am spoiling the little boy rotten, it`s sooo long ago since we were alone. love it.

last weekend i got on the plane to hamburg right after work and had a great weekend full of chatting, red wine, photography....it felt so good to have a girls weekend!

have a great weekend!

my new job

now the time has come. yesterday i said good bye to my old job and all the colleagues. it was bittersweet.
now i have the weekend and on monday i start in my new job  as a kitchen designer.

i like working with clients and the combination of designing and being a consultant for people is perfect for me. just recently i found out through a personality test, that i am good at selling things;)
haha...no worry here, i`m not gonna try to sell you anything.

it`s just so important to have a job that fits your personality. otherwise it`s hard to keep up the motivation.
lately i have been working quite independently in my old job and more and more efficiently. i knew everybody. but on monday that`s all gonna change again: i have to start over. new colleagues and a lot of training.

but i`m soo exited! i am looking extremely forward to starting there! one more change: i finally got to give back the uniform to my old job and get to wear my own clothes again. yes! i just looove to dress.

here some photos of the kitchens i will be selling. they are not too expensive and i think that is a good thing.

have a great sunny weekend!
