EARLY SPRING

Middle of the January I promised some flowers in the middle of the winter. It took bit longer to realise the frames, because the electrical stapler that I bought didn't work so I had to return back to the shop and get a new one. I bought some artist canvas frames and with my fabrics I covered them. Easy to do, just make sure that your fabric is well ironed before you attach it to the frame.

PRINTED LINEN

The bunk bed is in corner next to the kitchen/dining area in our chalet, my brother made the bed and it serves well when we need some extra sleeping place for guest otherwise it serves as a relaxing reading place...The fabrics are from Marimekko, I have made the two duvet covers with a satin print from the Unikko Marimekko collection, it was a limited edition of that fabric and it goes well with the black and beige smaller print of Unikko Marimekko... These Unikko means poppy in Finnish comes in many colours, have a look at the Marimekko website, they really have stunning fabrics. My pillow cases are made of Marimekko's cotton fabric...

PRINTED FABRIC

In the chalet we have one wall which was covered with a printed black, white and grey coloured fabric...I wanted to create a 3D decoration in front of it with some branches in the two vases that has a branch pattern as well... The black and white metal stands are from Ikea, the black one have some silver snow flake ornaments and the white one has shiny black hearts...Because this year we are here just for Christmas time I thought it was better to get a silk flower to bring some colour than by a real one that don't have time to bloom before we leaving again...
