I'm from the US. We call your style "Eclectic"
I LOVE eclectic homes. Because each peice of furniture or decoration has a purpose, a meaning or a story. (And that's the best part)
Your home is beautiful and welcoming. You can tell that two people who love each other live there. And actually live there. It doesn't look sterile or hotel like.
I love your home.
I feel like that is a good description! Thank you, that is so kind of you to say ♡.
Your landlord is very lucky to have tenants who are taking good care of their property. First time I have seen you video. Welcome from Maine.
I just discovered you. I am enthralled in your videos and your beautiful country. I live in Tennessee, US. It has been a joy learning about other countries through the individuals who live there. Such good people all over the world. Hopefully soon all the people of the world will live as one.
Hi, welcome! So glad you like my videos. I agree, so many good people in the world. I feel that both when talking with people through this channel and when travelling
Lovely comment, Phyllis. I wish the same! All the best to you from NY state ❤❤
I wish we could all live as one too Phyllis. I live in England. Love what has been done to this little house.
Love! Love! Love your lifestyle and your video you are such a great person not everyone like to take care of rentals like you do some people will say it’s not my home and I don’t have to do anything with it that is one of the reasons why I ever want to invest in a rental property because the law in the us protect the tenants and when you get your property back you send more money on the it more than what they pay you over the years. I applaud you what being such a genuine and caring person for the environment and the world at large. We need more like you this reminds me of my son when I say the world needs more like you because that is exactly what my sons teacher said to him. Good luck to you and I wish you all the success in the world.
😢c😊😊😊
Besides the cozy cottage, my favorite thing with this video is the sqeeky floors. Honestly, squeeky floors are the best! 🥰 Takk for rundturen 🙃
Haha! Det er en katteleke på ett eller annet punkt der som jeg sparker borti med et uhell x). Bare hyggelig
@@Mariaandtheforest Ja det hørte jeg, og jeg kjente meg igjen 🤣🙈🐈⬛
Haha, bra vi er flere ♡
This just makes me happy. A home that is warm, cozy, welcoming and full of spirit. Putting your soul into it, brings it alive❤
Thank you so much
I love your living room! The windows are the best. I also love the color of the walls. You definitely have a style. I would say cottage bohemian. It is beautiful.
Cottage bohemian is a good one! Thank you
Thank you for your video from another world, Norway. I'm in Kentucky in the US. I'm 67 and live on a tight budget. Your hard work and imagination are an inspiration!
You are so welcome! So cool that my work can be of inspiration to some people
This was such a heartwarming video! Love how you have made the house into a functional, warm home.
Thank you ♡ had so much fun with it 😊
I love your cottage! The simplicity, your paint colors and natural light. Just beautiful.❤️
Thank you so much ♡
Your house is perfect! I love the colors; much of our house is the same vintage green/cream, also soft blue. I agree about the kitchen cabinets...it would be a shame and a waste to replace them! I love the shelves, the healthy herbs & teas, the ceramic knobs, the real plants, the lovely mix-and-match furniture, the STOVE! :) and all of the unique and useful items. It is comfortable, friendly, practical, and has personality. It is clear that interesting, creative people actually *live* in this house! Nothing generic or shades of gray here. I have subscribed!!!
Thank you so much
Roll your cloth items in the closet for increased space & add some windchimes outdoors. Your place is lovely.
Haha, indeed a good idea. But I have just accepted that I will never be a person who takes the time to do that. Bendik does though! Thank you
Your home is absolutely adorable! I'm from the US and wished they would build houses as quaint as your home. Americans have a tendency to build big homes with many garage spaces. We are so addicted to the automobile and it's kind of sad. I just love your decorating style and the location of your home. I'm of Norwegian descent and was delighted to see what it's like to live in such a beautiful part of the world!
Thank you so much
Beautiful small home. I believe small homes are so comfortable and loving. You have made this home sweet with your touch. Good taste in decorating.
Thank you ♡. Yes it is the perfect size for us!
Windows in a home are precious commodities, and I can see how you both value your window light.
Greetings from Chicago! You’ve both worked very hard and it shows beautifully. The owner of the house must be very happy you are taking such good care and putting love into the home!
Thank you so much! Yes, for sure ;-). And they help us out with a great deal of things too :-)
Yes, I have a sugestion. On The Wall behind the guest bed I would put a big book cupboard and connected it with another book cupboard on the other wall. By duing that you will get Cosy corner.
really love all your vintage/second hand furniture, especially the chairs! on the wall behind your pull out couch you could maybe add a mirror to reflect the window on the opposite side, that could give it a window-ish feel. also in the hallway you could put up shelves above all the doors, to give it a more consistent look and even more storage. :)
IThank you
@@Mariaandtheforest1:13 hi
Love sheepskin rugs on chairs. I used dress like you in the 1990s ☺
Mee too, it really helps us keep warm in the winter. Haha, thats nice :D
Once you opened the door and the sun poured in from the living room it is just beautiful. AND you are very lovely!
And your bedroom is so pretty. I am sure your landlady (the owner of the hiuse) lucked out with you and your boyfriend. You made her house just lovely!!!!
Thank you so much
Your house is adorable. Thank you.
A Grandmother from Florida, U.S.A.
Love your cozy little home. We have been married for forty five years and have only ever bought three new pieces of furniture.( two of them were overstuffed chairs because at a certain age ,you really need to be comfortable)😅🤣😂. Anyway,as you change over to the warmer color tones(golden yellow,mustard?)in the bedroom,which is cozy and lovely,please do repaint the walls a creamy yellow. That icy blue gave me the chills and is opposite from everything else now. Brrrr😬. (It will also be a nice transition into the warm cream and warm green in the office.)
Thank you, glad you like it! Haha, it seems you have been the most climate friendly out of us all, only buying those two chairs! The blue is staying unfortunately, I really like it in the summer months, feels so cool and soothing :-)
What a warm and cozy home you have created! I especially appreciate your attempts to live green.
Thank you
I love all of it! But especially the living area! That light green paint and all the plants make it look so light and spacious! Really so inviting!
Thank you so much!!
So sweet!! What beautiful night skies you have, too! You’ve made a lovely little home for your family!❤
Thank you ♡ yes I feel lucky
I love the way you incorporated your thrifting finds to decorate you home. It looks very Boho. I live in Indianapolis IN in the USA and I have never lived in a home that didn't have a television. You have a very laid back lifestyle and it is very welcoming.
Glad you like it! I love boho so that is right on 😊. Makes sense, most people here in Norway centre their living rooms around a TV. Thank you ♡
I too have just discovered you! You have worked so hard on your rental cottage. The owners must be so pleased that you have made it so homely, and beautiful. I live in Devon, England. Love your stunning kitten! I think if the owners will not let you put a window above your guest pull out bed, put a big mirror up there, to reflect the light. Love your green walls, and all your lovely indoor plants are amazing! You are doing so well guys. xxx
Thank you so much ♡. Yes they have been very pleased with it indeed. Leaning towards the mirror too! Kitten and I are sending you some love :)
@@Mariaandtheforest Thank you so much for bothering to get back to me. Much love from Jilly and my black rescue greyhound Madge from Devon! xxx
I like the blank green wall and the bookcase not taking up that whole wall. It makes for more space.
Glad you like it, its true that it takes up less space that way!
I love your cottage.You've made it so homey! And I love the low ceilings..a true cottage! Cozy !
Thank you
If landlord could put doors in storage , I’d remove the door to living room from hallway and also the one from bedroom to office
You have a unique style that is very nice
The doors keep the heat in the rooms in winter, so we can not remove them unfortunately. Bedroom stays cold, takes too much electricity to heat it when we are not using it in the day. Thank you so much ♡
Hellooo, I just found your channel and I love your cottage. You have both put your heart and soul into this and are now kindly sharing it with all of us. How special ❤
So glad you like it
Your videos are so calming and relaxing. It’s like I am experiencing Norway from you. I have never been to Europe will love to travel there on day.😊
I am so glad that I can share my little piece of Norway with you. Enjoy Europe, I hope you will like it :-). Where in the world are you writing from if I may ask?
the bedroom blue color is really nice. It is like a "baby blue" color that I just love, but doesn't mean it's for a child's room. Just soft and calming.
I love your home! You have done so much to make it cozy and welcoming. I love the greens and all the natural light.
I'd hang a painting over the couch/bed in the reading corner. Changing the bookcase to a bigger one that uses the whole wall is an excellent idea. Your home reminds me of our old family cottage. I'd love to find a place like yours to rent. It's perfect!
You have done a such lovely job with this home, it is so sweet and inviting! One suggestion is to put the bed in the corner, it might give you a little more room, and you could then use a corner shelving unit, bookcase, or table for plants, books, etc. in that corner behind the bed. Maybe splurge on a small electric or self-contained fueled heater for warmth and moisture control.
If you decide you really like this home, maybe make an offer to purchase when your rental contract ends. Sometimes people have an emotional connections with a property and don't want to sell it off to just anyone, so when they find a tenant like you who loves and cares for it so nicely they would see it as an opportunity to place it in the loving hands it deserves for its next generation. Wish you many blessings and joy in this lovely home!
Hi, thank you so much!
The bed in the bedroom is no longer small enough to fit in the corner unfortunately, but I loved it when we had a smaller one and it fit well in there!
I have thought about it, but I honestly want to live further into the woods, so I do not think this is my forever home
I'm in East Tennessee, US. I think your home is beautiful, you both have done an awesome job. I'm 63 & my husband and I love filling our home with thrifted items.
Thank you
The long awaited house tour ! I can only imagine how much effort behind the scenes has gone into preparing the house for this big reveal.
The house certainly has a great deal of character, and by being the queen of thrift you have made it feel very homely.
Your office has such lovely views which must inspire your photography, and you are fortunate to have such a sunny living room too.
You both seem very settled there, and I hope it will be a happy home for some time to come. The closing sequence of your video certainly conveys a sense of the house being a fun place to be.
Haha, yes you can for sure imagine.
Thank you, we love it here
Such a cute cosy house... i live in Pennsylvania in the US.. i think you have quite a bit of storage in every room... it looks great. I love the livingroom/diningroom.. of course i am partial tovthat bright green.. my bedroom is that color. It looks great with blond to natural toned wood and lots of plants plus accents of white.. plus my ceiling is the ice blue from your bedroom.. i love flat paint on my ceilings...
Your bedroom ceiling would look so great if you stripped those wood beams.. you could paint in between the beams a green like your kitchen cabinets. ... your bedroom would feel warmer. ... or a warm cream..? What is under the linoleum in the bedroom?
I love the floor in your hallway of doors.. its pretty...
I suggest a large mirror hung over your guest bed.. you could also put a single shelf all across it and prop artwork, mirrors, and framed photos, etc.. its nice because you can change it out whenever you want.
Charming😊maybe you could add some mirrors of different sizes and styles that would compliment the rest of your furnishings? Place or hang it where it could reflect the beautiful outdoor views into your rooms. You could also add glass fronted doors to some cupboards. That would reflect indoor light and candle light which would be lovely during the dark winter months. 😉
Thanks ♡. Yes, that might be cool! We are too messy to have glass fronted doors I think. What goes on in the cupboards needs to be hidden 😆
Your home is very lovely. A large mirror would add more depth. Maybe add a bird feeder & bird bath outside the window where your cat's favorite place is. I love all the windows. Add suncatchers & a crystal ball prism to sprinkle a kaleidoscope of colors across the room. Pops of burnt orange will warm your room up for winter. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for all your tips
I think the colors you chose ( green, blue & white) work very nicely together with the natural wood in your home. There is a very comfortable cozy feeling and look to it. Your decor style is very clean, simple yet practical. At least having a small space keeps one from collecting so much "stuff". So many of us are taken over by all the unnecessary "stuff" we collect. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you so much! I so agree, actually I think we do not want our future house to be too big, beacuase we just fill it with things. Its already a bit much! It feel a bit like we are animals that save up food for winter, the bigger the storage space the more we fill it, and unlike the animals we do not need the things we collect... x)
I think you have done great, made it into a cosy home on a budget and reusing products in a rented home ❤
Thank you ♡
Space heater in the bedroom? Some rich warm brown blankets would look really warm and be lovely with the pale blue. Love the soft greens and especially love the unpainted wood which is timeless, and will never go out of style.
Yes I did not explain so well. We have a heater, but we try and have it off as much as possible because it uses electricity and we actually sleep very well in a cold room :-). Dark brown is nice in here, that is true!
I think it's amazing what you have done to make it honey, fresh feeling and the color choice with light wood so effective. Absolutely amazing fireplace unit.
Thank you so much!
UA-cam algorithm just made me aware that this video of yours is taking off. Just wanted to stop by and congratulate you 😊❤️🎉
Thank you so much Rosina, lets see where it goes
@@Mariaandtheforest oh no, it doesn't... It just recommended me this video again and I saw how many views it had 😄
@@RosinaEspig aaaah I see!
Miss you .. I did not get your videos for awhile.. so happy I found you again.. good luck and I love your channel..🙏❤️🌝
So glad you found it again :-) Thank you!
Nice Boho vibe to a vintage European home. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you too
Wow, Maria, you've done such a fantastic job. Your home looks terrific. And the property owner must be thrilled with you guys.
About the reading nook: have you considered centering the day bed and building a frame around it that you then attach bookshelves to? You'd be sort of creating a wall-to-wall reading nook headboard in a way. To each side, you could include one shelf that protrudes out farther, so you can easily sit a cup or a book. Then the rest of the shelves would continue up the wall and over the top of the daybed so it would look like it was one piece and the bed would be sort of tucked into the shelves. You could even mount lights on the frame of the shelves around the bed for cozy reading. Hmmmm, that's harder to describe than I thought. ☺
LOVE you idea of the guest area, just above the bed leave a space large enough for a large piece of art to calm the eye.. alternating space to rest the eye is calming in an area where we have lots of shelves with lots of things on the shelves.... i learned this the hard way...
Stil ist keine Frage des Geldes,wie du bewiesen hast. Unglaubliches hast du aus dem Haus heraus gezaubert. Es war eine Freude dein Video zu sehen. Vielen Dank dafür 🕯️
So glad you like it! Thank you so much
I love your color choices. I hope you put a mirror over the reading nook bed/couch. It would really improve the light, especially during the winter.
I live in a very big house with 5 double bedrooms 2 bathrooms ,
2 family rooms, A 33ft long kitchen.
An attic and a cellar and so much hall space .The ceilings are so high I can't reach even on a tall step ladder.There is no storage anywhere no cupboards or shelves
Your videos have given me hope that with some imagination I might be able to do some things that will make it feel more like a home not just a series of rooms that don't have any connection with each other .I have watched 2 of your videos now and hope to find many more .I love upcycling recycling .repurposing.making useful or pretty things from absolute junk such as empty tea light candle foils and old cans and bottles. I have a book shelf that somebody damaged when I was in hospital and I thought it would have to be disposed of but now I will go to the local DIY store and buy a scrap of suitable wood to make a new shelf to replace the damaged one .
Wow, that sounds like a dream honestly, so much space to work with! High ceilings are also a great thing. I am really glad you felt like you got some inspiration from my video, I have a playlist with all my makeover videos if you are looking to find more of them, it is linked under this video. So cool that you are able to make new things from cans and bottles! With that kind of creativity I'm sure your home will look so cool in no time :-). Best of luck with the shelf!
Lovely little cottage. Nice choice of colours. It looks cozy and inviting.
Thank you so much ♡
Haha, yes, your famous kitchen. This one was the video when i found you. Thank you for the tour, everything looks nice and cosy.
Considering your name here on UA-cam that seems only fitting! Thank you for being here ♡ glad you like it 😊
Love it! So Cozy! I have lived in some beautiful, large homes and I do now too. But, before I lived here, I rented a small cottage down the road from here. It was one of my favourite, if not my favourite (although the home I live in now is gorgeous!), and it was less than 500 square feet! The view from the small living room was onto the ocean. I loved that home and it was much smaller than yours. I did a lot of similar changes as you also. It was quick and fun. I lived there for four years and my friends still talk about how nice it was to visit me there! Great job on your home!
Thank you!That cottage sound wonderful. Having a view of the ocean, wow... Some day I will have a bigger house too I hope. But for now this is really the perfect size for us, and I do not crave for more. Happy holidays
I love your home very pretty and cozy! You did a wonderful job of increasing space and storage. ❤Great job! All the best from the 🇺🇸
Thanks so much! 😊All the best to you
I love what you did, especially in the kitchen. Love the color of the cabinets and the door pulls.
So glad you like it
Hi Cheryl here, I love how you have made your home so beautiful and cozy. It looks so good. Great job!
Hi Cheryl! Thank you for watching and how nice that you like it. Thank you so much!
You created a visually charming space & rekindled the positive energy flow in the house. The flourishing plants are proof. Reviving many original features sustained the authentic qualities, with unique & interesting characteristics. On a base of vintage style, you added practical updates & finished with sophisticated modern influences. Together they express a lovely, cozy vibe. The home is functionally efficient & comfortable. The esthetic is nostalgic & eclectic with the ease of modern simplicity! Design of any space has challenges. It covers multiple aspects beyond visual context & requires exceptional problem solving skills. You worked with what you had, found 2nd hand things or used your imagination to upcycle or repurpose stuff. Achieving this level of success on a small budget with limited resources is an insightful creative gift.
Thank you so much! So glad you think it is nice
Beautiful cottage make over! Color’s are perfect! One day, when you own your own home, would love to see! You have great ideas!💕
Thanks so much! 😊I look forward to that too
Such a beautiful home! I like that you have created a very personal space reusing and recycling so many things, it is very inspirational. I love watching your videos!!
Thank you so much
You and Bendick have done an absolutely fabulous job with this whole house. You could easily make a living doing makeovers on other people's homes, if you wanted to. 😊 I can't imagine myself having the time and energy to do all that while working full time, but your own results must certainly give you both energy back.
Found your cottage design. Thank you for sharing your much loved space. You and your partner have really created a beautiful home. I especially love your fearless spirit of adapting and changing, and just going with the flow. The way the sun shines into your home is especially magical! For winter, I"m sure you still find a way to keep it warm and cozy. You have inspired me with using the "ice blue" and yellow color in one of your areas. ( I might use it to transform a large piece of furniture I have) Keep creating!
Love and light from Oakland, CA- USA
You have made a beautiful home out of a run down property, I hope the landlords allow you to stay until your able to buy something more permanent, you sound so optimistic and have so many ideas, I love green
Thank you
@@Mariaandtheforest if it wasn't for green paint my home would be all white 😆
You said you wanted a window above the couch. My friend took an old window she found in the junk , replaced the glass with a mirror and hung it on the wall. It reflects light from the other windows. She also put a board on the bottom so it has a little shelf.
Thats sounds cool :-)
Such a beautiful house!! Love the tall seilings! The owner is so lucky to have tenants like you, that love and take care of the house so well. Love the stick on tile carpet with the soft colours in the hallway. Im also a big thrift store enthusiast and very seldom buy new things. Nice plants! The greenery is such an important detail in every room. I also like to bring nature inside. A big piece of art would be nice above the sofa bed. Easy to put up and change. The vintage sofa is gorgeous!! The green color of the kitchen cabinet is really nice! I can tell you are a nice person and know a lot about contrasting colors. Greetings from Finland and a new subscriber!
Thank you so much
The home is beautiful just as it is😊
true :-)
Love what you did with the house, it's very earthy & beautiful. Love the colors in the rooms.
Thank you so much ♡
You renovated everything in this house so beautiful! It' s a real home😊 And you have so good taste of colour and good craftsmenship skills. Best wishes to you from Germany
Thank you so much ♡♡. Lots of love to you
Glad I found you...vintage, with character my house is the same..land lords are ok with the changes I make. I love this little old quirky, shaped house and rooms...I make it work for me. Because it's old, thrifted items and paint go a long way to bring out the charm and her potential (in my opinion) she says to me "make me pretty" I know her and she knows me now too...we're happy and o.k......byeeeee for now from So California USA.....
I loved this comment! I feel too like a house is almost a personality, espescially old ones. And I agree, painting, thrifting and working with the quirks, we can do so much with that. Well done! Sending you my love from Norway :-)
Hello 👋
I just wanted to say that I enjoyed watching how you guys flipped this house over and turned it into a lovely home. Good job!
I also saw that you have a fern hanging by the window of your guest room/reading area. I could tell it wasn’t doing very good 🥲 I would suggest that you move it behind the wall so it doesn’t get a lot of sun ☀️ It does need some light but that plant needs hydration and shade. Also the monstera plant in the corner is mostly a shade plant but it can adapt to a lot of sun depending on how you take care of it 😅 so if you see the leaves 🍃 of both the monstera and the fern are not deep green you should probably move them to a place with not a lot of direct sun. Those need to be moist and hydrated. Your reading area is amazing!! A lot of light coming in ❤
I love this home so simple and beautiful, I like that they have reused thing and done a lot of the work themselves.
Thank you, glad you like it ♡
Absolutely beautiful!! ♥
I love your cozy home !!!! You both have done a super job .Hugs from Germany 🤗🥰
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
You did a great job!! Love all the windows and plants!
Thanks so much! 😊
I love all your colors.
Very cute home! Nice job !
Magnifique, bravo !
I love what you have done in your warm cozy home!
I love your beautiful little cottage!
Great job.Beautiful hause.
So sweeeet and nature i love much
Such a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful! Just lovely! You folks did great!
Thank you
You have done so much! Very beautiful. Why don’t you try to buy/own ? You are definitely improving the home and property for the owners.
Thank you
Very nice...thank god for closets!!!
Beautiful bright home thanks for sharing.
Just found your channel. I never saw the light green color compliment so many colors. The plants really makes the home cozy. Oh, I almost forgot, I need to order teas. Blue is a calming color that suits the bedroom. Carpet your bedroom may help warm it during the winter. Love your office. My studio is a closed-off dining room and I have way more stuff than you. I am constantly rearranging, organizing, purging my stuff. Love watching make-over cottages such as yours.
Welcome! Ha, it was a lot of work for sure to make it go well with the other colors, so I appreciate you noticing that. I feel you with all the rearranging, the more we live here the more I feel like it gets out of hand!
Love your little place. You guys have done a great job
I’ve watched almost all your videos so I’ve seen the various processes of your projects, so it was very fun to see them all in 1 video with before footage as well! 😊 Looking forward to more diy and winter content ❄️
Thank you so much for sticking around for all of these projects
I love your home and what you have done --- it's lovely!!!
For winter, change your window curtains to thicker curtains which has a liner on the inside of the curtain. If you guys have a Walmart or Target store there usually affordable to buy curtains in these stores.
That is a good way of keeping the heat in yes, but I enjoy having as much light as possible in the winter 😊. We do not have those shops here in Norway unfortunately, but they seem to have so much fun stuff!
Use a window mirror opposite the bookshelf! I have an old one from when my parents were young, it has shutters that you can open and close and the “windows” are paneled mirrors. The mirror makes the room look bigger and reflects light and actually looks like a window!!
The one I have actually matches the green colors in your home! Idk how much shipping from NY to Norway is, but I’d part with it knowing that it’s living here :-) especially because I need to minimize the amount of decor that I own in the near future. shoot me a message if you wanna see photos!
Thank you so much for the kind offer ♡, that sounds like a unique mirror indeed. I think I am going to look for something that ships in Norway for now, but thank you so much again for your kindness!
You made this house exactly how you wanted it, and that is pretty wonderful. I really like the colors you used inside the house. You reached your goal, and turned the house into a very comfortable home.
Yes, I feel happy with it
You’ve created such a beautiful home, it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m sure your landlord would be delighted with what you’ve done to the house.
I really love the way you make your home so cozy! I love everything you did, it's so cool that you did this with reusing so much! Love your channel, you are so much inspiring!
Thank you so much
What a wonderful job you both did! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you ♡♡♡
Hello, I'm just in the middle of watching this and love organizing a space. A suggestion for your living room would be to move the sofa bed against the wall by the window so when sat down you can see the kitchen then perhaps have two bookshelves on either side of the wall where the sofa bed had it's back to with a picture on the wall between the shelves and perhaps a plank of wood sat across the two shelves at the top to create shelving above the picture.
Be better if I was there to get a feel of the place or had drawings aha. Looks lovely so far! I like the sofa bed too
Hi! Love your ideas. Espescially with the bookshelves on either side. That would become almost a little library
I really love that house❤
Interesting home tour, everything looks smart. If you have a similar colour throughout the house it can make the place feel more spacious, as if all the rooms are almost one room. I agree the blue is cold for the winter months in your bedroom, maybe some colourful curtains may add some warmth, they would need to go with your rug. Perhaps a large forest painting in your library area, after all you are Maria and the forest! It could give a feeling of you being in a woodland. You have both worked hard and you have such good ideas on how to make the most of the space in your home.
Thank you so much Caroline, and thank you for the suggestions! The green kitchen cabinet colout has for sure spread to many rooms in the house, but not on the walls though. Some warmer looking curtains are a good idea for the winter. Might also keep the cold out a bit!
Wishing you a wonderful week!
It’s an eclectic style!
Sunlight is important to consider in a house in Norway!
Indeed!
Maria! You guys did such a beautiful job! Thank you so much for being so inspiring and sharing it with us:)
So glad you find what I make inspiring. Lots of love to you!
