Summerfix - Part II

Another Summerfix this week was installing white curtains in the White Room.
Especially in the summer it gives a little bit more privacy while you still feel the sea through them … ( and they are easily opened off course using the Kvartal rail system from IKEA)
And if you look closely behind the curtains you will see that the speakers got a wall fix as well.

Summer Kitchen ...

One of this years summer projects was to "fix" a summer kitchen.

With some of the wood we had left from the front porch and some creative shopping in Ikea (we got the sink for 99 SEK and our favorite tap called Hjuvik for half the price) we got this little beauty up and running in a day.

The Table Project - Part I

It has been a while, since we made a post at the XHM side of the family, but the Table Project is for sure one of the new XHM projects we are ramping up here at House V.

So, we have been looking at various tables for a very long time, and today we executed the first part of the delivery of the Table Project Plan now that we have moved in the deploy phase, after successfully have planned, build and tested the Table Project Plan.

Here we have the classical "before" scene, where we have our good old IKEA table and 6 classic chairs that have served us for the last 12 years and for sure shows the landmarks of two boys testing their knives and other cutlery when growing up.

Pueblo in Bonn

OK, we need your help ;-)

The White Room needs one sofa, but only one and the decision is between BONN from EM and Pueblo from MIO.

The lamp from PS ( Ikea PS Svarva ) has already been decided, the question is do we go for style and leather or for cosy comfort ...

A Box of Chocolates ...

Rebuilding is like a box of chocolates, you never know which one to take :-)

Anyway, today we had one of those days were we ran from shop to shop, trying to decide on small things like the light in the hallway, the light above the mirror in the bathroom, the inner doors or even the shower doors ...

Nothing is easy, and choosing between all the chocolates is surely a tempting endevaour. We even took a sidewalk into Mio and had a look at Coffee and Co

If you ask me Ikea will win the bathroom race, but loose Klippan against Mio ...

Anyway, for you dear visitor, we will start a new category or call it labels, where we will focus on brands and where to get them (did we tell you the Bauhaus Experience already ?)

Le Catalogue Ikea 2009 est arrivé!

Well it did look a little as the good old Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé! when the new Ikea catalogue arrived this week ...

It is like those Xmas Toy Store catalogues for Kidz, but then for Mummies and Daddies :-)

Anyway, the catalog is also available online, and allthough this will only be the very last stage of our XHM project, it is good to keep an eye on that one too ...

I am pretty pretty sure Wivi will start listing her stuff here, just wondering if it will all be white :-)
