photo problem

We painted our kitchen last month. It hadn't been painted since the 80′s so the color was some kind of pastel almost salmon pink and it seriously needed an upgrade and some fixing here and there.

So me and my man decided to paint the kitchen and just do it over one weekend. We thought it would be just an easy job, but the joke was on us. That weekend extended to a month and a half. We couldn’t even imagine the work involved.

First of all we had to clean the whole kitchen. Walls, ceiling, outside of cabinets, inside of cabinets, drawers, window you name it. Everything was so disgusting I still can’t believe that we ate in that room. We had to clean the walls 3 times before it was clean enough. Then we where told that the oven fan needed the filters to be replaced every 4 months. But I didn’t know that and I have been living here now for 5 years since my dad moved to Spain. The fan was broken anyway so we happily replaced it with a new one that will get its filters replaced regularly. We also used the opportunity to give some old things away and give the kitchen a more cosy feeling.

Anyways the kitchen interior is really old. I think it’s from the 50′s, and it has ornamental details on the walls and cabinet doors. We painted everything white to keep it fresh and simple. Kitchens are such colorful places that we wanted too keep it simple. But we decided to paint the ornaments and the shelves in the cabinets navy blue because we had some dark red items and we love the combination of navy blue, white, and dark red. It reminds me of Ralph Lauren, whom I love

Here are some pics

The one bad thing about winter here in Iceland are the few hours the sun is up. So when it's up you like to go out and enjoy it.

2009-12-24T09:12:00.000Z

Merry Christmas everybody.

Louisiana is such a beautiful museum located outside of Copenhagen. It's so huge me and my friend spent all day there and we didn't even have time to check it all out.

2009-10-17T09:04:00.000Z

I like the idea of using the old facade of the bulding and just bunding inside of it agian insted of just ripping it all down an making some glass house insted.

2009-09-12T09:02:00.000Z

My man did the cover for LayLow's consert cd that was held on Flatey. This is one of the ideas that he did for the cover. It's the small houses of Flatey. I love this pic.

2009-08-20T22:04:00.000Z

Flatey is really small island in the coast of Breiðafjörður. My grandfather was born there so my family has a house there that we go to every now and then.

2009-08-14T22:00:00.000Z

We have a small volcano museum here in Iceland that is located in the small town of Stykkishólmur.

2009-08-09T21:57:00.000Z

Summer is the best.

2009-07-11T21:22:00.000Z

So in the end we had bunch of flowers, as I call them, to hang up in the tent and on the trees in the garden. I then got this cute idea to use all the extra paper to make small flowers. I then put some safety pin on the back so people could put the flowers on them at the wedding. We also put some lights in the tend and around the tree.

2009-07-10T21:15:00.000Z

Work in progress.

2009-06-21T21:12:00.001Z

I'm decorating my friends wedding and it's a bit of experiment.

This is the main idea.

But Martha Stewart helped me go all the way.

2009-06-09T21:10:00.000Z

The Blue Lagoon never fails. It's a must every year. (I would go often if it wouldn't be so dam expensive.)

2009-05-25T21:07:00.000Z

One of my best friends invited me to dinner and a movie. We had an African soup and whatever the tv had for us.

2009-05-15T21:06:00.000Z

A good friend.

2009-05-05T21:03:00.000Z

mmmm beginning of summer. What is better than that?

2009-05-04T20:58:00.000Z

I just got a new camera. A Canon 50D. I'm really happy with it. Now I just have to start saving for some nice lenses.

I also went and visited my good friend that makes beautiful baby clothes.

2009-01-10T20:54:00.000Z

It's snowing allot this winter but I like it. It makes the days brighter, because the snow reflects the light.

2008-12-12T20:52:00.000Z

Some photos I found on a film that I had forgotten since this fall.

2008-11-06T20:50:00.000Z

My friend LayLow was playing at the Iceland Airwaives music festival his year. I took some photos of her.

These are from an old viking movie that was filmed up on the mountains of south Iceland. I like that the film crew just left it there. I looks like it belongs there.

2008-06-02T17:48:00.000Z

2008-05-30T17:45:00.000Z

I like the thought of that a man can go to the next small menswear store and buy traditional loafers everywhere here in Spain.

2008-05-28T17:44:00.000Z

I like it how plants can grow nearly everywhere.

2008-05-26T17:29:00.001Z

Me and my friend went on a walk through a beautiful park in Santiago de Compostella. I love that city. Medieval city with a lot of history and extremely beautiful houses made from just stone and timber. Small streets where no cars can, you can definitely sens history there.

2008-05-14T17:20:00.000Z

I'm in Spain for a couple of weeks to visit my father and family. I'm also going to Santiago de Compostella to visit a old friend of mine.

Me and my uncle went out to on a snail hunt this day on my grandfathers almond land. The whether was nice and the colors too.

2007-02-08T11:54:00.000Z

Lately I've been up to my ears in work and I killed my muscles by helping my boyfriend move his books and vinyl records from a 5 story bulding with no escalator. I dream of white beaches made of sugar and sunny nights.

She's allso an artist, she was working on some project this summer when I visited her.

the summer's highlights...

2006-12-06T19:19:00.000Z

My friend got married this summer. It's a custom here in Iceland that if you are getting married your closest friends take you downtown dressed like a stupid clown and embarass you in front of the whole world. We did the opposite.
We took her to a nice resturant by the Icelandic black beach, toasted with champagne and had a wonderful dinner together.

thats how to do it!!

This is my cat Nói, I know its corny that my cat is on the fist photo that I post on this blog. But hell yeah I admit it. I go crazy every day taking thousands of pictures of my cat. But mostly because I like the texture his fur has (and how cute he is).
