leek decoration & nutcracker bowls

leeks make a beautiful bunch of flowers and stay fresh
longer when they stand with their feet in a little water.
today they ended up in our dinner: pea soup.

cracking hazelnuts can be a messy job. 

we keep the nuts in one bowl and

stand it on top of another one

in which we collect the empty shells..

I love to go to secondhand stores and usually come home with lots of things I never thought I needed. This is my favorite find of today: a barbiedoll-bathtub, so beautifull. It found a new purpose in life as a drinking bowl for our cat.

Parttime bedroom

For many years now i have been fascinated by everything that folds, collapses or is otherwise compact and multifunctional. In my current home this comes in handy as we are living with 2,5 persons in a space suitable for 1.

Since my partner comes with a son who lives with us for 3 days a week, we lack at least one bedroom. Therefore we have been sleeping in the livingroom for as long as we live here. Getting permission to expand into the garden takes more time than we hoped, so now we will start the new year by creating an extra bedroom inside.

We will build a compact capsule bedroom, that folds to bed-size 4 days a week when the resident is absent.
Deadline is the end of januari 2010.
