Minecraft

Sorry, but I'm going to do a little promoting now, I'll blog later today.
I've been busy designing the earth for a video game competition, and it's up for voting right now and I'd really love it if you could rate my design and hopefully help me win so my design will get printed.

It's called Mine your own world and as the name of the game suggest, there's a lot of mining in this game, and your suppose to make your own world, so I connected the two together.

here's the link if the other one doesn't work.
Mine Your Own World

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.

This one is quite fun, it's under the children section, but I can also seeing it in the kitchen or living room giving an extra splash of color in a very elegant way.
see it here

I like the "number chaos" kind of clocks, even though personally I'd never be able to tell the time well, the background confuses me when I'm trying to tell the time, but it's a beautiful clock non the less.

I am love bound on these armchairs by Di Marzio Design called Missix.

They are so simple, as the designer says "Missix's name comes from its unique heavy-rounded, number six shape. This small armchair looks compact and monolithic together, yet its sinuous and enveloping line shows its minimal nature, enhanced by a light and soft shape. The chair is made of rotational moulded polythene. This fully recyclable material makes Missix a robust, lightweight and handy chair, which is both easy to clean and impact and weather-resistant. Missix is suitable for both residential and contract environments, in both indoor and outdoor areas."

DIY by modifydesign

Hi, sorry about how long it's been, I've been working hard on a project which is going to be in a show on friday and over the weekend. I'll give you a sneak preview though because I just finished it an hour ago or so.

 This is how the chairs looked when I found them in a dumpster, I should mention that it's a school project with the Icelandic garbage company on reusing what's been thrown away.

 This is a table I found, I don't have a before picture because I got too excited about this tiny table.

 Here it is without the dark-brown glass that was on top of it, I hope you can imagine how bad it looked before.

Here's the chair that was missing a leg, I made a new one from old curtains, and plastic bags, and cut out fun Icelandic words that mean a lot to me and glued them on the leg. The table also has plastic bag on bottom "shelf" and I sandpapered the glass, put on a primer and chalkboard paint. Yes, you can put that on glass, just sandpaper it enough and use a primer so it will stick.

 Here's a close-up of the leg I made.

And here are the chairs and the table together.
And I found the camera too, It's an old Olympus om20, I'm going to check if it's save-able. 

I'll post pictures from the show and show you the other amazing stuff my classmates have done.

Different decoration. Legos!

Have Legos from when you were younger ? If you don't have enough to make an whole island, you can but them under a glass plate like this ;

Or as your kids headboard. Or even yours, just spray the legos if you want different colors. It will make a lovely texture.

A lego Radiator by Marco.

Boxes to put under your bed, or have them on shelves as decoration, specially in kids rooms, they'll love it.
And you can of course stack them up as over-sized legos, how great is that for space saving!?

Let the kids play with their legos on the wall, great for encouraging imagination.

Lego inspired coffee table.

Melted Lego lamp ! That could be a fun project, just watch out for the fumes, I believe they are not healthy when melting plastic.
