I have a big weakness for nooks. I don't like apartments that are the shape of a shoebox with all windows in one end. This apartment is for rent if you're planning on moving to Reykjavík anytime soon. Also check out this lovely advertising campaign where Icelandic people invite tourists for dinner, to lessons on how to knit an Icelandic sweater and much more. If you had been fast you could have had sushi with the mayor of Reykjavík or panncakes with the president.

Looking for apartments I found this cool one with a swimming pool like kitchen floor. The only catch being it only has one bedroom and we are now four people...

I have a big weakness for old lofts. I love the nooks and corners and weird spaces.

I'm moving home later tonight. At the moment I'm sitting at work wondering what the bathroom might look like. I haven't been home since the bathroom started to look like a bathroom again so I have actually no idea. I have been with my son the last few days while the kindest people have been cleaning the apartment high and low. I know It will be smaller than before since we had to put in new walls, a new ceiling and use all of the previous unused space. Hopefully it will look a bit like the bathroom on this picture. Though the floor tiles are black. I will show pictures of the result I promise.

This was a rather cute way of creating more space for laundry and things that are hanging everywhere in the bathroom. I plan to fit in my washing machine in the new bathroom in stead of having to deal with the baby and running up and down the stairs to the basement. I think it would be wishful thinking being able to put away at some point if I were to get one of those foldable drying racks. I think you need something more permanent with children in the house.
Our apartment is now covered in concrete dust. I try to think happy thoughts. I will get a new bathroom that works as such. There were no unpleasant surprises like mould. Only less expensive findings so far. Like the ceiling was full of sawdust from 1912 that had to be replaced. And we're very lucky to get a replacement apartment for free.

I was so busy I missed the last set of ideas for my bathroom on Tuesday. With the slight exception of the bathroom makeover that's still on hold I finally see the end of the last weeks of renovation chaos. I don't have anything to paint at the moment! What do people do that don't have walls to paint? I have a new floor complete with trims and all. I still sleep on the floor but I bought the bed of my dreams, now I just need a mattress for it. Around the corner I see sofas and furniture.
I love the Marimekko soaps from this bright theme. Thank you so much for all the help! I hope this will be the bathroom month! Give me just two days that are concrete dust free.

Don't miss the natural ideas for my bathroom at Chez Larsson. I love this moodboard too.

I'm a bit tempted to put a before picture of my bathroom. I think I just might. For the moment it's full of toys being washed after the apartment concrete floor makeover. The carpenters that were supposed to be fixing the bathroom in February or so now seems to have a slight bad conscience for taking so long. I hope they can get away next month. We still havent't moved back into the apartment. I'm so looking forward to be able to stay at home and not in a suitcase. Hopefully we're back next weekend.

I've done it. I hired a professional guy to make a storage unit for all my things in the sleeping loft to make use of all the wasted space under the lowest part of the ceiling. In my dreams it will be as clever as the storage in this apartment. Though I'm afraid this shelf project I found through Ellas inspiration might just be a bit out of my league. Check it out yourselves. In the meantime I have a floor and a wall to paint. I'm going to be good at painting after this sudden renovation nightmare. I've been spending so much time and money in our local paint store they started to give me discounts and offer me coffee to go.
Don't miss the before and after pictures of the fab bathroom. Even my bathroom looks OK in comparison to the before pictures. Gives me hope overlooking the concrete dust and paint stains. And I love how they have painted the radiators in different accent colors in stead of trying to hide them.
