DIY seedling pots - tee-se-itse taimiruukut

DIY seedling pots - tee-se-itse taimiruukutRemember my post about the different ideas for seedling pots (here)? Well, this is what it became last weekend :)! Today we'll be planting with the kids, so I figured I will post BEFORE photos rather than AFTER. You know, when those little dirty fingers start planting the seeds ;).DIY seedling pots - tee-se-itse taimiruukutFor these I just used some old (dirty such!) pots, that's why the paint is already cracking a bit. I thought it would look nice, let's see! I'll post some pictures a little later when...

Feel-good home creation - what is she talking about?

Ethical home decor - Samantha Holmes blanket, and Kikoi paper pearls made of reused ice hockey ticketsIt's not very clear, is it?  Let me try to explain. It is actually about ethical home decor, just not hard-core such.When I was little, our mom would sow and knit our clothes herself - she thought that self-made and hand-made is ALWAYS far better than anything manufactured. It is more valuable, it is better quality, there isn't as much waste, and so forth. Anyone, who really loves doing things with their hands, will always make it at least...

DIY cushion covers - tee-se-itse tyynynpäälliset

DIY cushion coversOkay...one of those days when the whole blog posts decides to disappear...I thought to dye some fabric for new cushion covers to our summer house terrace yesterday. Thought really it would be a fast process, but no ;). But don't they look nice? I wanted to use some old sheets that aren't used anymore.DIY cushion coversI am no hobbyist even on the field, just wanted to try how it will turn out. I've just looked at the fabrics (worn them more or less all my childhood when living in the far east as a child) , and thought that this...

http://issuu.com/werannas/docs/werannas_summerI've beent talking about the major trends of the interior world in the blog, mainly focusing for some weeks now on the rise of the natural colors and materials, which I've named Earthy. Now I will be continuing with some color trends...guess...yes, BLUE!When Paulina was sending me ideas how to present our summer products at the beach, I immediately loved the idea of a beach tent. No, not one of those plastic/nylon ones that fly away with the wind if you don't carry a bunch of concrete bricks with you...

Tape on tape

This was one of those moments I was running through a hardware store (this time Clas Ohlson, which is anything but a hardware store, of course, but somehow I still categorize it like that in my head) and saw a wooden measurement tape at the cash register for 5 euros. And the image of a star came immediately into my mind (which of course I have seen somewhere, but just can't remember where...). Just have to see, if the tape really turns into a star! I don't know if I made it to the car even to try.And it did! Isn't it cool?Which one do you prefer...

DIY seedling pots

Have you taken out the necessary seeds, and bought/prepared the little pots for this year's seedlings? Well - my mom (of course) has started this long process, and I will be happy to take those ready seedlings to my care during summer :). I wrote about this last summer http://www.werannas.blogspot.se/2012/07/herb-table-inspiration.html, and probably will have some new experiments during the coming season, as well ;).I have to admit - I don't like those little plastic jars on your south side window, even though they are not there to stay. Rather...

Earthy decor inspiration

Earthy interior inspirationThis home, located in the northern Stockholm and featured in number of interior magazines, is probably one of the most beautiful ones I have ever seen live. It is truly a home, no question about it, but also a visualists haven. Where ever you turn your eye, it catches something inspirational. I've written couple of years ago using logs in a city home - admittedly in an extremely skeptical way (now I just can't find the post!!). Well - today it just seems like a perfect idea ;). I have them myself, only painted white,...
