weird times right now. i`m trying to find a place to rent, will actually go on a viewing tomorrow.

other than that i have been working, trying out my new life as a single mom and preparing the viewings.

taking it one thing at a time, otherwise i would go crazy...;)

but we are doing pretty ok actually.

when the house is sold i can and have to focus on finding a place for me and the kids.

maybe i see you tomorrow?!

styling to sell

the bathroom

preparations to sell the house... i am quite sad about it. it feels somehow very wrong.

yet i have no choice but to accept it and focus on my future, my kids and my new life to come.

while at work on satureday, the man and i used all of sunday to fix some final things, paint a little here and there, get the yard under control ;-) clean and organize.

norwegian national holiday today...we walked in the parade with our son and his kindergarden, ate icecream and sausage. now he is napping and afterwards its off to coffee and cake at my (ex-) family in-law.

showing you my plans for styling the house to sell.

on thursday the photographer is coming here, yesterday its worth was estimated.

almost all things in the picture are bought at Ikea, soap from lucky duck.

i didn`t want to spend a lot of money on the styling...

the livingroom

the hallway

the bedroom

the girl`s room

the kitchen

was at Ikea last night and bought almost everything. i didn`t buy everything exactly as in the pictures, some things we had from before, some were replaced by something better ;-)

making the collages i tried to have in mind what each and every room lacked, what i was missing there.

even the laundry room, that didn`t get its own collage. it will have a pile of green towels and a plant:-)

of course i will show you the professional pictures (and compare them to my own;-))...later...

what do you think?

love

news

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?

hugs

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?
