personalize is the key to romance

How easy ? 

These red lips would add a really nice and elegant flavor to a livingroom, diningroom or even the bedroom.

This would also be so romantic over the bed, it's also extremely easy, see the how to here, it's not in english, but the pictures show it really well.

You can of course make this in any size, so I'd make a big headboard with a word like "love" or something that means a lot to the people who sleep in the bed, maybe your names ?

This lamp you can buy here for 22$, and there is a how to on that page also, so maybe some of you DIY geniuses can make your own versions ?
How romantic to go to sleep under the stars every evening.

This I find adorable, you and your partner, you and your kid, or your kids if you got two, can make a heart together. It's really personal and that's what romance and love are all about.

I think this is romantic, rusty and old, maybe I'm just weird like that, but the bed tray is something I must make. This almost screams perfect.

A moss ringbearer pillow, it doesn't have to be a ringbearer pillow, it can be a decoration in your house, a DIY tutorial here, there are so photos though. I'm sorry about that, put please personalize, it makes everything romantic.

Now, this is an easy decorating tip, you can take any picture and print it out, nail by the outlines on a plank of wood, and you could also just nail one nail in the middle, if you don't want a heart, have the nails any color, the wood any color and the string any color! this screams creative ideas for me, how about you ?

I like this idea a lot, you can't always find a flowerpot that works for you or they are too expensive, but this way, you don't need to buy, or make, a flowerpot at all, you just need a little bit of heavy clay mud, or bonsai soil, potting soil, moss and twine, and of course a small plant.

creative walls

Sticker fun by Elly Nelly from NY, it's called "Get a grip" and there are 17 little persons you can hang around the house.

Beautiful hangers who don't look like hangers at first are a great way to decorate also, designer Jody Mattiol changed the famous Oscar Wilde saying into a beautiful yet functional coat hanger.

These Ninja stars coat hangers found on ThinkGeek.com are one of my favorites, they may not fit every home, but it certainly is a fun way to keep the kids interested in hanging up their clothes, get them one or two stars each, and hanging up your coats may actually become fun.

 Cute Moss Art decoration ! Environmentally friendly and super chic, you can also make patterns or pictures using these tiles and the moss, like pixel art! Loving it.
Designed by INAX

 "Kúlan" translated to "the bubble" from Icelandic destroys annoying echoes in high spaces, Bryndís Bolladóttir, the designer, makes them in 3 different sizes, and many different colors, they are made from felted Icelandic wool, It not only works wonderfully and is very child friendly, I can picture it looking amazing in clean minimalistic spaces, but also in a warm wooden-cabin feeling.

And if you want to have some fun with paint, here are two fun and experimental ideas I'd love to try it out, please let me know if you have done it or are going to try it, Id love to see some pictures also.

1. Using a sponge instead of a brush, I believe it will give a funky, fun texture !

2. Here it looks amazing, and I want to know if this is as simple and easy as it looks.

moss decoration

Moss art has been growing a lot the last weeks and months, it's on buildings, in the bedroom, the bathroom, everywhere! So I want to share a few pictures I've found and the inspiration and the ideas I get. 

This is a great idea for a wall.. it would be amazing.

Make a scratches in the wall, some basic random pattern, and let moss grow in there, maybe different kinds of moss.


It's amazing.
