Thursday evening DIY: Clock work

Take two FAB shops that most people can't live without (in Sweden at least); IKEA and H&M. Not brands you'd normally pair together. But hot on the blog rounds this week are these clever interior design ideas using IKEA's BONDIS clock and a H&M leather belt.

Have a lovely evening!

Friday DIY- circular and square basket shelving

It's Frrrrrrrriday!! And here's a DIY project to look forward to over the weekend perhaps? The bloggers from IKEA's Livet Hemma have made this set of circular and square shelves from IKEA's NÄSUM Kista Bananfiber baskets! A DIY take on the Finnish company Muuto's circular shelving system? Incidentally a friend of mine has the Muuto graphite version in her little girls bedroom and they look super cool.

For more information on how to make your own circular shelves click here. If you get round to it, send us a pic! I was hoping to check in later today with more inspiration but alas I've run out of time and my wonderful parents are over from London so I'm off to spend time with them and my little girls (even though it's minus 10 BRRRR!)- yaaaay! So, I hope you have a fab weekend! Thank you for reading my blog, and a big welcome to all you new readers, lovely to see you! See you Monday!

Thursday DIY project: very cool contemporary coffee table

I'd hate for you to not have a project to get your teeth into this weekend, so just in case yesterday's DIY project wasn't your thing........the clever guys at Weekday Carnival have created a very cool coffee table using the legs of an IKEA VIKA LERBERG table.

Click here to see more. If you make one, don't forget to share your creation with us!! Have a lovely evening. x

Wednesday DIY - simple cluster pendant lamp from IKEA

If you're looking for a new project to start 2012, how about this light? All you need is several IKEA SKURER plant pots and a few electrical cords. Drill a hole in the bottom of each plant pot and voila! A cluster pendent light like the one below! Thank you Plaza Interiors, for the inspiration. 

Plaza Interiors Blog

The beauty of this light is that you can also just make one or two to hang over a table. Or if you prefer the more colourful approach you could also choose a coloured flex or spray paint the plant pots. Personally I love the simple nature of the white design above. Happy DIY! Oh and if you make one, don't forget to share it with us!

Tuesday DIY: Neon Christmas decorations

With the winter stolsis only two days away, it's soooo dark here in Sweden. And there's nothing like neon themed Christmas decorations to brighten things up. If you click through to Sania Pell and Purl Bee you'll find some great instructions on how to make some of these fab neon decoations yourself (if you still have the time!). Happy DIY!

Monday Nook

Should I bring back the 'Monday Nook'? I get so many emails and comments from readers saying how much they loved my 'Monday Nooks'. I feel a bit guilty. Why did I stop? Did I run out of nooks? Did they used to only be nooks in 'The House'?... I can't remember. Maybe I stopped when I sold 'The House'. We need to resurrect the 'Monday Nook'... yes? Starting today. Good. I am going to stalk other people's nooks.

How's this one for a start? This gorgeous little one.... in a cupboard... was created by Sarah, over at 'Thrifty Decor Chick', with her bare hands. Yes, not a tradesman in sight. I have loved this forever....well since Sarah created it earlier this year. She's so clever. Moldings set her heart a flutter. I get that.

Look at the wall moldings and the edge of the bench. Yep, it's all in the moldings.

Sarah's 'How To' is HERE.

Grrr....that lights are so cute and cheap in her hemisphere

.... that you can wander into Lowe's and find a cute light for $18US.

Anyway, a sweet nook to start the ball (nook thing) rolling again.

Happy Monday!
