Valentine´s Day Candy Board…

With Valentine´s Day around the corner sweets are found at each and every supermarket so I went along with it and created a cute and sweet candy board for Valentine´s Day or Galentine´s Day.

I love making holiday inspired boards and table scapes to this was right up my alley and although I can not eat most of it cause of my gestational diabetes I enjoyed it very much to make. 

To make it Valentine´s Day apporopriate I added as much pink and red candy as I could possible find (not an easy task in Germany I might add). 

This board would make such a great spread for colleagues, a cute board for a Galentine´s Day party or just a sweet treat for yourself. 

When I make a candy board I always start with the cute little bowl where I put small items like M&M´s, little chocolates or things like that. 

After that I like to put all kinds of cookies and chocolate bars on the board to get some straight lines and after that I fill all the wholes up with soft candy like marshmallows or gummy bears. One things I also always love to add is something salty like popcorn or pretzels. 

I used a wooden board I have had for many hours but you could take any you like. It just has to fit the amount of your products. 

The cardigan I am wearing here is from SheIn. They have such a great variety of cute and affordable cardigans for every kind of holiday.

Finally !!! I am finally sharing our redecorated living room with you guys. It took way longer than I expected and I was very annoyed at the end also I had some obstacles before even editing the pictures cause I accidentally deleted the pictures twice and on the day I was shooting the sun was shining the whole time but when I was done with cleaning it was gloomy so it wasn´t super easy to shoot but I think we did a great job.

Another point why it took a lot longer than I thought was that I had some ideas I wanted to incoroporate until the end plus I had to get plants/flower and print out some pictures and while this would have cost me half a day before Emilia I now have to break it up into two or three trips. 

So with no further ado here is our old but new redecorated living room / dining room. I absolutely love how it turned out. It now has such a comfortable and cozy boho chic vibe to it. 

Furniture : sidebord Hauga / TV Stand Kallax / Kallax compartments Drona / showcase Billy, doors Oxberg / chairs old the new model is called Bergmund / baby book case amazon / table is from a carpenter, it is oak / round coffee table bonprix / carpet bonprix / cow hide carpet Ikea / sofa XXXLutz / toy basket Wayfair / 

Decor : books amazon / pillow case H&M / planters H&M check out my recent finds here / moss balls Frank / flameless candles Frank / fake hanging plants Ikea here and here / gold pot Ikea / bull head Frank / all of the frames are from TK Maxx or our local drug store

I went with lots of earthy tones and glamed it up with gold accents in the decor. To cozy it up big soft cushions were a must. The majority of my decor is from H&M Home, TK Maxx, Ikea and bonprix. I personally like to shop affordable but good looking pieces. After linking all the pieces I incorporated into this room this could easily be a commercial for the Ikea catalogue 😉

The cinnamon colored accent wall was the last thing I changed before ticking this room and I definitely love how it turned out. Vibrant or dark accent walls have become super popular over the last couple years and it is a trend I totall dig but getting rid of a dark wall is a whole other project.

My lastest H&M Home Finds…

….

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

The New Year brings lot´s of new projects with it. I planned on changing some little corners around the house plus we want to redecorate Emilia´s nursery to make a shared girls room out of it. Since we are having two girls close in age we decided to give them the big room and put them together.

We recently painted a wall in our living room in the most gorgeous rich caramel color and I love it even more now. I can confidently say that our living room is done after about 1 1/2 years of making small changes. Going to reveal it in the next week (hopefully).

So for our next project I have been gathering ideas and already ordered some wallpaper and small home decoration like pillows and blankets and curtains to get a little closer and coordinate the colors I want to have. Also every time I go around with a folding rule in my hand my husband has a mild panic attack cause he is afraid of what else I am planning to change (anyone else´s too!!).

H&M Home has become a stop shop over the years not only for seasonal decor but also for all kinds of decor, pillows and planters for example. We don´t have a store nearby so I have to order what I like but that´s not a problem at all. Never had shipping issues and the breakable pieces are usually packed really safe.

Festive Mocktail – Cranberry Grapefruit Spritzer…

….

Happy Hump Day ladies,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate LInks-not sponsored)

Christmas festivities are right around the corner and in today´s post I wanted to share this quick and easy but good looking mocktail with you. I made it a mocktail cause this way everyone can have a sip but you could easily add some champagne or vodka if you like.

So for the ingredients this is what I used:

– cranberry juice

– grapefruit juice 

– sparkling water 

– pomegranate seeds

– crushed ice

– alkohol if needed

All I did was mix the two juices and the water in equal parts and put crushed ice into the glasses. Then I poured in the mixture and added pomegranate seeds on top. Et voilá it looks super cute. You could also add some greenery like rosemary if desired.

After editing the photos I thought this would also be a great gift for a hostess. Take the tray and the glasses with the golden rim and add the juices plus a bottle of champagne to it and a fresh pomegranate and rosemary stems. Wrap it in clear wrapping foil and you have another great gift.
