Rethinking and Redecorating

After yesterdays inspirations I have felt an urge to get more inspired, and have Researched some more on the RE-things <3 I guess todays word is everything with the letters:"RE" in front of it... So many great things to do, so little space and time <3

REcycle - REdecorate - REdesign...



REcreate.za.net is a very inspirational site where you can buy special made recreated furniture. I love the inside out concept and recycling furnitures that are now used i a completely different way, than its real "purpose"...
This inspires me a lot to think in different ways and think twice before throwing my old hat away... I dont think I could create as extreme as Katie Thompson - the designer behind these amazing stuff, but this defineately opens my eyes for REdesign and puts it in a completely different perspective...

Live in rooms full of light...

Yesterday I removed all my christmas decorations and ornaments, and suddently the arpartment seemed so empty. I decided to make the livinroom more "liveable" and bought myself a lot of candles and lighting today, which was the most cheap way I could think of (when you have no money left at all this is a perfect solution)... Now the room looks just at sweet as the jolly christmas - just without all the christmas <3 










This last box I bought filled with fruit - I simply painted it and decorated it with candles it turned out nice I think - and best of all I didn't spend any money - for this time :)

It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air...

Today it's christmas, and what a joy, all the presents are now under the three and the only thing we need is to have a jolly holly christmas <3 merry christmas everyone, I have posted some christmas quotes that I find very sweet and inspirational for this merry christmas day - enjoy... 




Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.Norman Vincent Peale


Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love.
Hamilton Wright Mabi

Christmas - that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance. It may weave a spell of nostalgia. Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance - a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.
Augusta E. Rundel

Remember, this December, that love weighs more than gold.
Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon

Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.
Oren Arnold

If there is no joyous way to give a festive gift, give love away.Author Unknown

From Home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another.
The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other.
Emily Matthews

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.
Burton Hillis

Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents.
Louisa May Alcott

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.
Roy L. Smith

And in our world of plenty
We can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
At Christmastime.
Bob Geldof and Midge Ure
Do They Know It's Christmas?

And So This Is Christmas;
And What Have We Done?
Another Year Over; A New One Just Begun;
And So Happy Christmas;
I Hope You Have Fun;
The Near And The Dear Ones;
The Old And The Young.
John Lennon
Happy Christmas (War is Over).





Merry christmas everyone <3

Sand sand sand...! - a lot of it on our jeep safari...

In Egypt we went on a jeep safari in the dessert, it was so crazy... we drove about 140 km/t in the jeeps some times, and even faster if you said the word:"yalla yalla!"... About 94% of Egypt is covered by sand, and two days before there had been a sand storm, when we got home from this crazy day, we where covered in sand everywhere... this was such a fun and insane experience!
