{ In my living room... }

Our new sofa has now arrived and our living is finally coming together. You have no idea how nice it was to sit down and relax in this comfy chaise lounge after a full week with painting - I´m exhausted!


The light in the living room is amazing after we painted the wooden floor, walls and room in crispy white! I love the brightness of the room - it feels very summery and delightful.
You can see some BEFORE pictures here if you like.


Our new sofa is from Home&Cottage and the Moroccan side table is from House Doctor. I bought the table used on Finn.no (Norway´s "Craigslist") and it was originally dark brown, but I painted it white as well as everything else *smile* - I love it!


In a few days I will attend on Norway´s biggest interior blog meet up called "Glansdagen". I´m very excited to meet some of you sweet girls, and I know that we will have a lot of fun - the agenda looks amazing. My only concern is; WHAT TO WEAR?? Oh, my,  I wish I though of this sooner...

Will I see you there?? Do you have your outfit(s) ready?


Anyway - I hope you like my new WHITE living room. More pictures to come.

  2. Flott, flott, flott, Nina!!!! Nydelig med alt det hvite - for en stor jobb det må ha vært! Forstår veldig godt at du er sliten :-) Har du ellers sett de fine strikkede puter fra Louise Roe som jeg har fått inn i blogshoppen min - en i gul/hvit ville bare perfekt inn i din sofa :-)

    Og hygg deg på glansdagen - det blir sikkert kjempegøy!! Klem; Heidi

  5. Så delikat og pent det ble! Veldig fint!

    What to wear, that's the big question... Jeg har ingen anelse. Hvor mye pynter man seg på en Glansdag? Jeg håper du får mange gode svar på spørsmålet ditt, så jeg kan få litt tips også. :)

  6. Om jeg liker?!?
    JA!
    Alt du tar i blir SÅ fint :)
    I den stua må det være godt å sitte.

    Alt topp med Glansdagen ja, men også jeg sliter med antrekket! Satser på å komme i mål i
    morgen... ;)
    Håper vi sees!

  8. Å så FINT! Elsker de hvite gulvene dine og det bordet er jo bare et kupp :)

    Klem og kos deg masse på glansdagen, skulle ønske jeg også skulle dit! Men satser på at dette blir en årlig begivenhet og at jeg får det med meg til neste år :)

  9. Hei! Så utrolig stilig! Kan jeg spørre hvordan du malte gulvet? Var det parkett fra før? Slipte du den før du malte? Hvor mange strøk har du? Jeg har lyst å male stuegulvet, men er litt usikker på slitasje. Hva hvis folk tråkker inn på høye spisse hæler...? Valgets kvaler, og må overtale mannen... ;)

  10. Så utrolig flott! Er imponert over hvor mye du får gjort på kort tid. Ser ikke ut som dere akkurat er nyinnflyttet på disse bildene akkurat. Du må jo vøre et drivjern uten like :)

  11. Absolutt nydelig Nina:) I love it!!! Så flink du er som har malt og malt. Det må ha vært litt av en jobb!

    Ha en fin kveld:)

    Klem, Pernille

  20. Vakkert og lekker smekkert!
    skulle gjerne hatt det like strøkent her, men men.. har dere barn?

    Den lampa og bordet syns jeg virklig gjorde susen i sofakroken.
    Gleder meg til å se mer :)

  21. Hvor mye slipte dere gulvene før de bla malt og brukte du gulv eller båt maling?

  23. That's beautiful (and so bright!) I'm curious, how did you paint the floor? From the before picture the floor looks like laminate parquet, and now it looks like a seamless shiny surface. Did you lay a new floor on top of the original? Did you paint it, how?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Så utrooolig fint! Gulvet.... Jeg elsker kjenner jeg!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Absolutely love it! I particularly like the colour of the couch - the perfect shade of warm sandy white. I'm also curious to know what paint you used for the floor. Nina

    Congratulations on your new home

  28. Helt utrolig Niba! Elsker HD bordet, la merke til det med en gang! Men du? Jeg ble så sjarmert av lampen med myntene, og vi mangler lys hjemme... Hvor er den fra? Stor klem

    ReplyDelete
  29. Nina I love what you did with it. I definitely prefer the white to the gray colors of the before pics! I'm amazed and inspired by how fast you are doing this.

  30. OM jag gör!! Så fint och mysigt!!!! Soffan är underbar, liksom lampan som står där!

    Ingen glansdag för mig, men det låter trevligt! Samma sak för mig varje gång, ute i sista minuten med vad jag ska ha på mig:o

    Stor midsommarkram!

  38. Dear Nina,

    your blog is really amazing - it makes me smile whenever I visit you.
    I really love your style and the wonderful images! I fall in love with your lamp... Could you tell me where the beautiful lamp is from (the lampshade is from Tine K home, isn´t it?)?

    I wish you and your familiy a happy and great new year!
    Thank you very much for sharing your ideas and best regards from Germany
    Yours Julie

  39. Hello Julie:)
    Thank you for your sweet comment. That is very nice to hear.
    The lampshade is from TineK Home, and the lamp itself is from "Lama" which is a Norwegian company. I´m not sure if you can buy it anywhere outside of Norway...

    Best,
    Nina

  40. Dear Nina,

    thank you very much for your answer. Perhaps I will find the lamp or a similar one (otherwise I have to visit your blog to admire it ;-).

    Have a nice week!
    All the best, Julie

  41. I love the color. It only shows that white has its own beauty. This interior design depicts that white is never a plain color.
