My Interior Obsession

24 Comments | Apartment

Hi sweets :) Thank you so much for all the feedback on my previous post, you guys are the best! Grocery shopping turned in to a little interior shopping as well earlier, the way it usually goes.. I’m simply obsessed with cute interior stuff, if I find something I like I just can’t leave it behind. These coffee mugs are pure perfection in my eyes. I love the bright silver and the details on the inside, they’re almost too pretty to drink coffee out of. I found them at Traktøren :)

Cute candle holders, can girls ever get enough? From Riviera Maison.

I found this guitar sculpture or whatever I should call it at a workshop in the township Khayelitsha when we were at the township tour. It’s made out of old Coca Cola cans, so cool!

I think this painting is so gorgeous, the picture doesn’t do it justice at all. I got it at a workshop in Langa Township. It was really expensive, but most of the money went to improving the workshop facilities for the children after school, so I consider it money very well spent. It’s actually painted on sand, in real life this painting is quite breathtaking. Our white walls were in desperate need of some art, so this is a good way to start :)

A cute handmade plate, also from Langa. Love it!

Now I have to carry on unpacking, the most boring thing I can think of. It’s especially stressful since my boyfriend has the worst cold ever, and without exaggeration he sneezes three to four times a minute. I have a minor obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to people sneezing, I seriously have to say ‘prosit’ (God bless you), and if I say it one time too many, I need to say it backwards to even it out. Today this disorder has become a full time job, super annoying. Interesting? I think not. Sorry. I’ll unpack now, hope you’re all having a great evening♥

  11. When I first saw the picture of the giraffe I thought, “Oh my she already printed one of the pictures that she took in South Africa blew it up and cropped it in three different sections.” Then I read the description and then I was like, “Well that is money well spent.” Just a thought you should consider doing something similar with the picture of the zebra that you took. I think it will look wonderful.

  14. Hei herlige Cathrine:)
    Moren min(Vibeke Jerkaas) har nylig(i går) lansert et prosjekt som heter “ull & omtanke” der hun vil gjøre noe godt for de som er under kreftbehandling.

    For en stund siden fikk hun vite at en av hennes veldig gode venner har fått kreft, og hun ville så gjerne gjøre en god ting for han. Så hun satt i gang med å strikke små lapper i mange forskjellige farger for å lage et varmende og godt lappeteppe. Grunnen til det er fordi hun ofte blir kald og frossen når hun føler seg redd eller trist. Han ble så utrolig glad for pleddet, så hun har laget slike pledd til flere hun kjenner som har kreft, og alle setter uendelig pris på omtanken hun strikker sammen til et vakkert pledd.

    Derfor lurer jeg på om du kanskje kunne sagt noe om dette på bloggen din, da jeg tror du kan nå ut til mange som gjerne vil hjelpe. Jeg har så lyst til at mamma skal lykkes med dette og at hele norge sammen kan lage mange fine pledd til herlige mennesker som går gjennom en tøff tid.

    Du kan se mer på facebook siden http://www.facebook.com/ullogomtanke?notif_t=fbpage_fan_invite og bloggen hennes http://customaid.blogspot.no/

    På en eller annen måte blir man alltid rammet av kreft, om det enten er familie, venner eller en selv som får det, og da er det ikke lett å vite hva man kan hjelpe med, men dette il forhåpentligvis varme mange hjerter rundt om i landet.

    Mange gode klemmer fra Jenny Charlotte Braenne, 17 år fra Fredrikstad:)

  18. Hej!

    Kopparna är så fina, kan du inte kolla vem som gjort dem, så jag kan hitta en återförsäljare i Sverige? Jag har sett likadana, men de jag såg var toooo cute, de här är coolare!

    Vore så snällt. Jag har googlat på Traktören men jag får inte upp något.

  19. These coffee mugs are really cute! I love these birds inside, they remind me about all beautiful stories I was reading in childhood and birds were usually a sign of something really positive incoming… :)
    I love your interior post, you have so sweet taste!
