Wall of Happiness

My family is my life. This is not something unique to me, but I know all of you feel the same way.  So when everytime I'm able to decorate my home with things that mean a lot to our family, it makes me really happy.  So one day here's what I did with this boring wall... <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK326vZ-uQKBb-LsUcefWAYLaZzOdy4HXfzIq6EqZNGYl-aRIgq3B2ujqpwqpItlMRVC7onmNBca-qYsGAs1QTe00tCZHYfA27_7p-5USQV7NfVtPpbZaFmuAikd33R4zsQXxoVgipQFh3/s1600/DSC_0017.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK326vZ-uQKBb-LsUcefWAYLaZzOdy4HXfzIq6EqZNGYl-aRIgq3B2ujqpwqpItlMRVC7onmNBca-qYsGAs1QTe00tCZHYfA27_7p-5USQV7NfVtPpbZaFmuAikd33R4zsQXxoVgipQFh3/s400/DSC_0017.jpg" width="157" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">BBbb-ORING..</td></tr></tbody></table>It Became like this.... <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFCA231X36jzondCI0I5bQGz5xPipnmSn7ku4CcK2G45MMLXs356nDI2PXqqA9f_pFyN9cgNTpXSXbgoNDEx-hbqI8Lec_8_omTEBu03QTNfKQ6YOK_EMJ3GwLeyy5XE4ThIMHRIj_sCVv/s1600/DSC_0019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFCA231X36jzondCI0I5bQGz5xPipnmSn7ku4CcK2G45MMLXs356nDI2PXqqA9f_pFyN9cgNTpXSXbgoNDEx-hbqI8Lec_8_omTEBu03QTNfKQ6YOK_EMJ3GwLeyy5XE4ThIMHRIj_sCVv/s1600/DSC_0019.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Much, much better indeed!</td></tr></tbody></table> I had our recent vacation photos blown up c/o Walmart photo, turned some of them black and white, and viola - a wall of happiness!!! <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwsbIjIFam8xCoRbDhFkPDXQpLQBZXcMRskK12oOYQAX7_Y9WDMeBJKkqytnkE35f7cwUob2UdbEH5EKL5p_eTaXuIS-OiWOMErs0TivoteZ2UVUDRqVoRF4tc9Ggx7z_pTg-zoTc8HGIP/s1600/DSC_0020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwsbIjIFam8xCoRbDhFkPDXQpLQBZXcMRskK12oOYQAX7_Y9WDMeBJKkqytnkE35f7cwUob2UdbEH5EKL5p_eTaXuIS-OiWOMErs0TivoteZ2UVUDRqVoRF4tc9Ggx7z_pTg-zoTc8HGIP/s640/DSC_0020.jpg" width="242" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">More views</td></tr></tbody></table>These are 11 x 14 faux canvas prints, cost me $20 each - I say, worth every penny! <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGJmjp8bl82t-nOxjzE2kMJIFrK3ReIPmn0HmgtoJYHdEHwCOfPN8Y1BYGJynJ2cDp-QbEYbBdbGqdMlVZxB4dkIy_RHswYNwFtDrsBLISrvn_z10qwNVLahfYkqeEnlyJCxZWe90H_1qQ/s1600/DSC_0009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGJmjp8bl82t-nOxjzE2kMJIFrK3ReIPmn0HmgtoJYHdEHwCOfPN8Y1BYGJynJ2cDp-QbEYbBdbGqdMlVZxB4dkIy_RHswYNwFtDrsBLISrvn_z10qwNVLahfYkqeEnlyJCxZWe90H_1qQ/s640/DSC_0009.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Day time view</td></tr></tbody></table> Now every morning, I wake up, go out of our bedroom and see these - my reason for living!

Manor in Denmark

Hello, dear readers. Friday already! My mother is coming on Sunday to stay with us for a month and I have quite a number of things to do yet before she arrives. So, before I get moving here is today's tour for you. Anette and Heine Robert Dahl used to live in apartments in Copenhagen. In the spring of 2009 they moved to Gelskov. Here they live in this Manor on Funen where they also hold exhibitions, display antiques and flea market finds for sale, and they even run a bed & breakfast. <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55506.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55504.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55507.jpg" /> Owners Anette and Heine <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55508.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55515.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55512.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55519.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55516.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55511.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55517.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55518.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55513.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55510.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55509.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55514.jpg" /> Remember I love reading your comments!

Centenary Home in Spain

Doesn't look like a centenary home when you look at the interiors which have been totally renovated. But you can tell it is old by the outside and the very old trees that surround this house. Step inside, look around, and let me know what you think! <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/exterior_porche_557x519.jpg?random=1333039808336" style="width: 650px; height: 606px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/pasillo_340x519.jpg?random=1333039814253" style="width: 499px; height: 761px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/salon_389x519.jpg?random=1333039817768" style="width: 500px; height: 667px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/salon_con_exterior_695x470.jpg?random=1333039820424" style="width: 689px; height: 466px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/mesa_comedor_y_salon_571x519.jpg?random=1333039825051" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/salon_con_exterior_395x519.jpg?random=1333039828365" style="width: 500px; height: 656px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/mesa_comedor_395x519.jpg?random=1333039831849" style="width: 500px; height: 656px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/mesa_comedor_y_cuadro_367x519.jpg?random=1333039834929" style="width: 500px; height: 707px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/dormitorio_con_ventana_385x519.jpg?random=1333039840484" style="width: 500px; height: 674px;" /> <img src="http://www.elmueble.com/medio/2011/08/02/dormitorio_546x519.jpg?random=1333039837183" style="width: 650px; height: 617px;" /> All images from <a href="http://www.elmueble.com/">here</a>.

Restored Farmhouse in Italy

Surprise! A second post for you today! And you, my friend, and I, are in Italy now, just a few miles away from the city of Parma. Architect Lucilla Scazzi was in charge of the restoration of this home which used to be a rundown farmhouse with an adjacent barn. The barn is now a tearoom with a fireplace, and what used to be the stables is now the kitchen. <img alt="Huset utvendig er en blanding av naturstein og murstein, mens i den pussede delen er det sandstein." id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_11.jpg" /> <img alt="Stuen oppe med gulv i eik og rustikt bjelketak." id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_66.jpg" /> <img alt="De gamle dørene som er typisk for bondehus fra denne epoken, er flott bevart, mens gulvet som opprinnelig var av jord, er nå i malt betong. Her inn til kjøkkenet som er husets absolutte favorittrom." id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_22.jpg" /> <img alt="I taket på den gamle stallen som nå er kjøkken, ligger de gamle bærebjelkene åpne for å få den rustikke følelsen av tre. På kjøkkenet har Simona latt den landlige, rustikke stilen få dominere. Hun har brukt gamle jern- og trestoler fra hagen rundt det store kjøkkenbordet, og et britisk fuglehus i tre får stå på benken til pynt. Industrilamper og komfyr i stål gjør at det ikke blir for romantisk. " id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_33.jpg" /> <img alt="Stuen nede med utsikt til hagen." id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_55.jpg" /> <img alt="På barneværelset til Aldo Maria har Simona malt en stor gren hvit og hengt den opp i taket. Den brukes til å henge opp bilder av alle sønnens venner i. Innehaveren selv koser seg med alle bamsene sine." id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_99.jpg" /> <img alt="Himmelrik i himmelseng. Gamle kofferter fungerer som nattbord." id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_88.jpg" /> <img alt="" id="fancybox-img" src="http://interiormagasinet.hegnar.no/uploads/news/id99/Casa_77.jpg" /> Hope you enjoyed our second tour!

House From the Past

Good morning, my friends. How about going back in time today? It's easy when you look at these photographs of this centenary house in Provence.
