Impressions of Secondhand treasures
Just a few impressions of corners in our house that make me happy. None of those things were expensive. They were either given to us, bought secondhand, built by us or picked in our garden. Most pieces have a history. Now they make me… Continue Reading “Impressions of Secondhand treasures”
Low budget garden decoration for a wild garden
My favorite thing to do is to decorate our garden. And that without investing too much money. I challenge myself with using what we’ve already got. Since we have the summerhouse, we never throw away glassbottles and glasses. Because they are perfect vases and… Continue Reading “Low budget garden decoration for a wild garden”
Vertical Garden
Two years ago I had this beautiful that I decorated with plants and other things. https://missjekyllslife.blog/2019/06/01/garden-dresser/ It was nice, but our Swedish weather took its toll.

And then we kept on using it, as… Continue Reading “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. ~ Boyd K. Packer”

Let’s get cozy
The bedroom is still in progress, but Tuesday we finally bought proper mattresses. It only took us about a year 😊 Today I fixed one of the walls. I hung one of the mirrors there that we found in the house. After finding a… Continue Reading “Let’s get cozy”
Many drops make a bucket, many buckets make a pond…
…and that’s what I made. A mini-pond. Another “things I find in the attic” story. Yes, the supply is endless. The supply of objects, that trigger me to turn them into something pretty.

Your mind is a cupboard and you stock the shelves.
We needed more storage in the summerhouse. And (at least in my opinion) more color. In one of our Second-Hand Stores, I found this old IKEA cupboard for 250 kr (ca25€). The weekend after, it was already in our kitchen, ready for a makeover.… Continue Reading “Your mind is a cupboard and you stock the shelves.”
