When DK gets noir

Today, around 17.30, I realized it was completely dark outside. It’s just going to get darker and darker from now until december…I took this picture from the window of the living room, and despite my basic camera it turned out very nice.

Skrald Decor

That is, trash decor. My favourite! I keep finding so much nice stuff here in Denmark, like this crazy orange vase! Some dumpsters have special areas that look just like flea markets, but for free.

Everything is orderly displayed: books on shelves, stereos, TVs and electronic devices placed all together on shelves too, then plates, cups, toys, armchairs, all sorts of pieces of furniture. You get what you need, and if you want you leave there what you don’t need. I’m too lazy to take real pics with my camera, and then download them, then put it on line, so I’ve just used my web cam to immortalize my recent findings. So much of the stuff we own we found. Isn’t amazing?

Here’s more: the hawaiian box, the cat box and the set of antique frames! The card in the frame comes from Andreas grandma’s old house.

Last but not least, this book. Mmh…The cover says is Touching and Revealing

And the Copenhagen city council department of waste management gives away this t-shirt if you answer this test. I think I want it! I think I’m going to do the test! It’s really going to be challenging since it’s in Danish, but I’ll give it a try.

Kitchen party!

No, not really…but here some underexposed kind of dark pictures of the kitchen, I took them when it was dark and I’m too lazy to take new ones in the light. I actually LOVE our kitchen. And at the moment it stores circa 20 kilos of Barilla pasta driven up all the way here from Italy and some essential kilos of risotto rice. We’re all set!

Here some slightly better quality pictures of the living room. Enjoy!

Getting ready for the LONG winter…

Finally we’re getting some furniture for the flat, and we’re ready to be cozy and all for the long Danish winter. This is how the living room look like. I LOVE the trees out in the square.

Or half of it, we’re still working on the other half. The yellow sofa is a sleeping bed, so come visit! we got our first guest yesterday and he said it is ultra comfortable…My favourite things so far are the piece of fabric from Mexico that covers tons of holes left in the wall by the previous owners:

and of course Girard, that we found in the trash:

He’s gonna be hanging on top of the bookshelves.

Ready for the Danish winter! That is actually NOW! Yeah!

Well, we’re going to the south of Sweden for the weekend and my birthday – it’s one of my favourite places ever, especially because it’s sunny most of the time. This are some pictures from the last time we were there:

This is the bed and breakfast we stay in, run by some friends. It’s lovely.

The guy in the red shirt is Bjørn, one of the owners. This is the interior of the b&b:

And the deck where you eat breakfast:

and the sheeps! I love sheeps!

Ok now dinner is ready….I’ll post more soon!
