My home – New livingroom

Finally some new photos of our new sofa in a corner of our "new" livingroom. Since moving together with my boyfriend 6 months ago, all the rooms in our apartment have been changed around and everything has been moved to a new place. 

I'm in a more "simple" period in terms of decorating, but do feel that the sofa needs some more color added – currently I'm on the look for old Kelim pillows in some dusted, yet fresh colors!

(and yes – Elliot insisted on being in one of the photos, since he feels that it's his home too! 

Well, all right then, Elliot!)

Friday moodboard

Todays moodboard mix. There's something very intriguing about the self service cover! And I love the simplicity of the apartment in the middle, as much as I would love to wear the super simple but amazing Celine stilettos. Last I really think the calender from Julia Kostreva is so cool – I would absolutely love to own that!

Friday Wishlist – for me

This friday wishlist consist of 3 different things that is on my personal wishlist at the moment and at least the two of the wishes are classic items that you keep for a long time. 

1. Been dreaming of this classic Prada Tote bag in black leather for some months now, it's a perfect clean-cut and simple, yet very elegant, bag that goes with almost everything. 

2. From danish jewelry brand Jane Kønig, I think the small love tag necklace in gold plated silver is such a cute idea, and a tag with the first letter in my boyfriends name along with a diamant pendant in one chain would be a perfect match.

3. The IT book by Alexa Chung – because the book cover is pink and because I think she's a pretty cool young lady

Vintage Miniature Beetle

Today I've decided to sell my vintage WV Beetle from 1967, and even though it bring tears to my eyes, I think it deserves a better home! But I'm definitely saving this little miniature beetle as a great memory of 9 lovely years with the car! The glass-bowl is from a danish glassblower and designer – Yerst glas (they're having a sale on the 2th of November in Copenhagen, check out their facebook), the notebook is a favorite with the coolest print!

3 x black items for my home office

A small collage wishlist of 3 different things I want for my home office right now – and they all happen to be black.

 1. Beautiful and elegant "Mantis" wall lamp from DCW, designed by Bernard Schottlander back in 1951.

 2. Simple and clean cut chair from Bolia in the nicest black wood material. 

 3. Black tape to hang up posters and postcards 

Magic

Do you believe!?

Quote of the day, graphic by me.

Currently...

... working a lot and trying to plan out my days with this lovely notebook from MoMa, bought a while ago in NYC! (comes in a pack with a black one too).
I've also had the time to do some shopping this weekend, including these two lovely blouses from "Storm & Marie" and "Club Monaco". I've read a lot of great things about the new Facial Scrub Mask from Rudolph Care – and besides the lovely packaging, I really must admit that the product is really amazing! – and I love how it's both a scrub and a mask at the same time (a great time saver!). Definitely recommendable! White Kubus candleholder from byLassen.

London Moodboard #1

In a week I’m leaving for London once again to visit my boyfriend who lives in the lovely city. I’ve always been a New York-girl and had only been to London once, until now, and the city is really growing on me. Every time I go, I fall in love with the city a little bit more, and could easily imagine myself living there! Since I’m just starting to discover all the great places, and really miss a great guide to the city for a person like myself, I’m starting to make a guide on my own and for that I need a really great London notebook – for writing down all my favorite places and places I want to visit. (If you have a great tip, just let me know!) 

Me missing a really good London-guide with insider tips for a design minded girl like me, really made me think about my own city, and I’m seriously considering making a small unpretentious guide to all my favorite spots in Copenhagen. I’ll let you know! 

Moodboard: 

My London mood! Street picture from my last weekend in London. I need to take more pictures this time! And this time I want to see Big Ben (it’s been 10 years since the last time). And then I want to find myself a new bag – maybe a lovely mulberry leather one! And wear a floral blazer since I’m counting on the sun to shine! Can’t wait!

A corner in my diningroom

A small table setting in a corner of my diningroom – the vases are the original lyngby vases inherited from my grandmother, wood tray table by Hans Bølling, antique crystal carafe and the newest elle magazine from Denmark. The collage in the background is a corner of the Headpiece collage you can find in my webshop

Details from my home office

I love personal home office spaces. My own home office is filled with a lot of stuff that I've organized in areas. The key to creating a personal space without having it to look too messy and chaotic, is to create some areas and spaces for your personal stuff, instead of spreading them all around the room. In my own office I've made a big black board where I hang some notes, magazine cut-outs and illustrations I make – kind of like a big moodboard – which easily can be changed as often as you wish, to create a different mood or color theme. (Try to select the things you hang on your board in the same color scheme – that way you'll create a coherency and calmness to the room, still showing your personal style)
As I have a lot of posters and frames and often change the pictures on my walls, I've gathered all (for the moment) unused frames, signs and paintings in one big stack up against the wall, so they make they're own atelier-ish look.
Another thing you can do is to hang up some small magazine cut-outs (or as me, my business cards and some pictures) in a small group with some colored tape, to make a nice little collage of things that might inspire you.
Good luck on creating your own personal office space!

Leaving for London

... only for a few days though! Writing this post from the airport on my way to London – this time I've brought my camera, so I'm planning on finding some great spots and taking some nice picture while getting to know the city a bit more. If you have any great London tips or places I simply must go, please leave a comment! :)

&otherstories

So, last week I finally got to fo visit the store everyone's been talking about lately – & other stories – and I loved it! Besides a lot of cool, nordic and very minimalistic clothes and accessories they also have a wide (I really mean WIDE) range of beauty products with the most amazing packaging design! I wanted to buy every single product from all the collections, but ended up with these two – a lovely Fig body scrub and a Cherry body lotion, both in amazing "I-want-to-eat-you" pastel colors! Visit the store in real life or online HERE (if you dare!). The concept and the atmosphere of the brand is amazing!

My insta-friday

Today my post is a small photodiary of the first half of the day, with pictures taken from my instagram! If you think this is what freelance-life is like... you're absolutely right! ;)
Have a good weekend! My instagram name is: kberggreen!

 Got up and took a long walk with my dog Elliot! Passed by this big arrow!

 Came home, made some quick, healthy banana pancakes and a coffee!

 Watched the news and took a picture of my new matte grey lamps from &tradition

 Took a picure of my new white shirts! – while waiting for spring weather to come! 

 Recieved some samples of paper and different finish techniques for some prints 

 Meet the real me: the biggest nerd and totally excited about the different paper samples! 

 Soon ready to place some orders! 

Moodboard of the day

Today I wanted to post a little moodboard-post, since it's been a while. No overall theme than the black and white photographs. But make sure to notice the boy and the girl – I think they're the cutest ever!

I'm Instagram'ing

So finally I decided to get on Instagram – or actually I've been using instagram for more than a year and a half, but my account has been private and for personal use only. Last night I was with a girlfriend who finally made me take the jump and now you can follow me on instagram as well. So my instagram photos are from my private life and the categories will, unlike the blog, be more different and more personal – a mix of things I do, things I see, things I like and things that simply needs to be shared because I think so!
You can see my latest updates in the sidebar on this blog or follow me by my username: kberggreen!
See you on insta!
