First of, I´m not a “blog reader” and I often condemn my friends and others for considering themselfs as such. (This is partly because I´m a freak and fear “new” technology and social media)

But this! Oh my god, THANK YOU! I found you through Pintrest, and this post.
Usually it stops there, and I go back to pintrest searching for more mid century/Scandinavian/Organic, DIY, IKEA-Hacks and whatnot. But I promise you, I found your blog yesterday, and I have almost been through EVERY one of your posts! Well done you! I´m gonna steal quite a few of your ideas and apply in my own apartment. Not sure if I can pull this one off, but I´m certainly gonna give it a go! 😀
Keep doing what you´re doing! Truly inspiring!

Greatings and admiration from Norway

Such a lovely transformation. I don’t work with furniture much but now I am inspired to.

Your bench is so creative and a great way to recycle leather. I think it would also be cool in the old 1980s blue/jade/turquoise hues which were the height of couch fashion back in the day. I see poufy sofas like that sometimes on CL. Now I know what they could actually become, thanks to you. Fab, fab, FAB project.
