Adding a French touch {DIY for your bedroom or garden}

I added this picture from Hotel Deseo in Mexico on my Facebook page yesterday, I thought this was such a beautiful way to get some shadow and making a cozy corner in your garden.

But it would also be easy to do at home. By using some rope and bamboo, or even by making a bamboo frame only and attach it to the ceiling on four points. Last years summer I made some pictures of an installation like that at MERCI. Hope it will give you some inspiration on how to make something like this for your own home or garden.

Skulls + Stuff boxes {cheap styling ideas for little corners! }

Since those real cute stuff boxes from Danish brand HAY are not for sale in any shop in my hometown I thought about some alternatives to make them myself. So I bought a simple shop-window display and made my own... I love to change things around my coat rack, that I still love to bits! I think displaying things in shiny little boxes give them something special and it lightens op this little corner

The shoes I bought on Queens day for 50 eurocent and they are purely for decoration, I thought they were looking well Rock&Roll with the little skulls on them ;) I have a bit of a soft spot for accessories with skulls, like wallets and cute shirts from Zadig & Voltaire.
Those simple shoes might end up being displayed in a shiny box as well one day.

It's a basket {DIY lamp}

Seems like these TineK baskets are getting bigger and bigger... Cool to save your extra blankets like on the gorgeous picture of Tine K's home below Or make a lamp from them as Tine did in her showroom in Denmark!

Get your own basket here and find some instructions on how make a lamp with it yourself in this blogpost: How to add a touch of nature

They just look great on any floor - baskets via tutze.nl

customize your coat rack

At home I love to change little things in the bedroom, where I like the combination of industrial pieces and fashion pictures. No news that I am a big fan of clothes racks, see my previous post: Create some parisian chic at home. At home I have a huge poster standing on the floor and some pictures above and behind my hanging clothes rack. Also big posters work out really well, such as the NYC poster used in this setting.

With the MULIG Clothes rack (I just looked it up and it does not cost more then 9 euro or 10 dollar) you can customize your own look... here it is pimped up with some hemp string in a natural color. But of course you can add what ever you like, black string, masking tape or paint it in your favorite color. I am thinking about fluor pink and black chalkboard walls here or just some cool black and white stripes. If you have a clothes rack at home I would love to see it, mail me your pictures.
