hei there

after three tough weekends with remodeling and finishing i have a weekend òff`.

the sad new is that my husband and i are going to separate. we have decided to sell our home.

thats not fun, especially not now where most of it is remodeled.

i will move into a smaller apartment and probably rent for a while.

am a little afraid of what the apartment is gonna look like and if i will be able to style it a little bit at least.

what am i going to blog about?

well, i`ll probably find something:)

finally most of the snow is gone and we\re getting prepared for easter. am so looking foreward to my dad coming to visit us!

i am trying not to be sentimental about selling the house, it just makes it harder.

after easter we`ll have a major organizing and throwing away session.

i kind of like that, i like organizing and good systems, i don`t like clutter.

the good thing is the warm weather and sunshine, that is really lifting my spirits.

here some pictures of the kitchen:

has any of you experienced a separation, divorce or selling their home to move into a rental?

Kvik, Denmark part 2

hei! a little bit of easter and spring in the air, isn`t it?

here come the last pictures from my trip to Kvik in Denmark in february.

kitchen, bathroom, laundryroom and hallway...

Kvik can be used all over your house!

the kitchen under is called "Mano" - my personal favourite:)

no handles...

Kvik is also known for the concept of "samtale kjøkken", which means as much as "conversation-kitchen".

we are using islands or halvislands that make it possible to cook and at the same time see/talk to your family and friends. what do you think of that? :)

at our house we are still finishing up the remodeling to rate the value of the place.

interesting how long it take for all the little details...

my dad and his girl-friend are coming to visit us on easter.

really looking forward to that :D

have a good week with lots of sunshine!

the last of Norefjell spa hotel

this is the last of the pictures from Norefjell - it`s a little sad...

i really like their style!

do you believe it? its almost the end of march and we still have 50 cm of snow, it even snowed on friday:O

being from Germany this time of the year is a little tough for me.

i am ready for spring, sun, warmth, flowers, birds....

but the sun has been showing itself a lot lately, giving some warmth, the birds have also been singing.

so, there is hope:D

we`ve been very busy at work and i have collected tons of informasjon about my new life.

when, where, how much, how and so on.

good that i have support from friends and family, i can`t thank you guys enough!

more on that later, as i mentioned in my last post

enjoy the pictures!



i need your help:

am having some trouble with the html, can`t seem to set up the stand alone pages, get into the `blogglisten` ect.

have a lot more plans with this blog:D

who wants to help me?
