Home Flowers Snapshots

Some white flowers for my white Scandinavian Kitchen. 

And, for a change, the weather is lovely outside.

Enjoy the weekend everyone!

PS: I normally keep my cooking herbs in that flower pot, thus the 'herbs' written with chalk.

Tea Time!

A cup of tea and a few magazines for a perfect, quiet, afternoon.

The Vipp tea cup came from a giveaway at Walnut Grey Design blog.

Lucky me!

My Spring Colours

Bringing my garden's colours inside.

Spring took it's time to come and soon those beautiful white flowers will be replaced with red berries (poisonous, so I've heard), so I decided to capture these colours while I could.

Have a lazy Sunday everyone!

Dry Little Roses

I've resigned myself with the fact that flowers don't survive at my home. 

May as well take advantage of it and cheer up my window with these cute but dry little roses.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Giveaway Win!

During the Christmas holidays I decided to participate in a few wonderful "giveaways" that some of my favourite blogs were holding. I normally feel a bit shy about participating in these things or even just when leaving comments on other people's blogs (I know!... it's silly) but there were so many gorgeous things that I would love to have for my home that I just couldn't resist. And man!... Am I glad I didn't! I ended up winning two of them! 

I'll talk about the second one later (when I receive it), but the first one was held by the Cherry Blossom blog, a blog that belongs to a girl from Norway, with flawless taste, and where I go to for a dose of daily Scandinavian inspiration. 

And yesterday I received my prize in a beautiful package from Story North...

The tea towel is from by nord and the mugs are a design by Filippa K for Rörstrand.

Aren't they just perfect?

Flowers on the wall

A few home snapshots of flowers drying on the wall.

Have a lovely Sunday!

1 Year

My little blog is celebrating 1 year! Before I finally settled on a name and a content for it I had several failed experiences, and in result I'm not exactly sure when Life as a Moodboard was "born". But it was around this time last year and I would like to celebrate it by telling you a little bit of  why I decided to do it. 

life as a moodboard

the beginning 

(OK! it is not that epic as I made it sound...) I had been living in Denmark for a little less than a year and apart from going to language school I didn't do much else and had a lot of free time at home. The shock of moving to a different country was fading away, my brain was getting mushy and I desperately needed something to exercise my creativity and to allow me to learn new things. 

A blog! why not?...that would be a real challenge. 

I decided to focus, mainly, on three themes that I was drawn to: Interior Design, Photo Styling and Cooking. And I was hoping that by looking at other people's work and other blogs I could bring those different "worlds" inside my own home and my own life... my blog should be a platform for the moodboard/inspirations I use in my everyday life. Not to much to ask! And I had no idea what I was doing...(still don't)

I've dedicated most of my interior Design posts to the Scandinavian Style...it made sense since I now live in a Scandinavian country... and made an effort to learn a bit more about Danish design in particular. And that  influenced the way I began "building" my own home. 

Inspired by the wonderful work of talented photographers and stylists I gathered the courage to start taking my own pictures... to experiment, to learn and to mature my photo skills - I'm far, far away, from being a professional but I think I made some progress and, most important of all, I enjoy it.

I have shared  recipes I found on the internet as well as traditional dishes from my country and my family. I always try the recipe and take my own photos, and those posts are probably the ones were I allow  myself a little bit more freedom in my writing and therefore they are the more personal ones. I even discovered I love baking! I made bread for the first time and shared that...well... slightly bumpy experience. And it was so much fun!

Now, I am one of those people that never seem to finish or go through with anything, and I lose interest in things pretty quickly. So when I began this adventure, for the first couple of months, I kept having the same thought in the back of my mind: "when are you going to give up?". 

That is why this 1 year mark is so important to me... I didn't quit, I'm still very much interest and excited about it, and even though there are days when I feel a little less inspired, I still love what I'm doing! Ha!

Twine wrapped jar

An easy DIY project for a lazy Sunday. All you need: an empty glass bottle (I used a Cocio bottle), glue and twine. Spread the glue around the bottle (about 5 cm at a time). Hold the twine with one hand and spin the bottle with the other. I started at the bottom because the top, becoming narrower, is more tricky. Took me less than 15 min! Add some colour details for a personalized result.
