DIY or DIE

Brooklyn Brew Kids

Erica and Stephen of Brooklyn Brew Kids are revivalists of the oldest beverage in history, one gallon at a time. It’s kitchen-based, friendly stovetop brewing that gives New Yorkers a new definition of what it means to enjoy a cold one, from curried stout to rhubarb root from the simplest of pasta pots.

Hanger wardrobe


I found this awesome hanger wardrobe on Emma’s Design Blogg. How awesome?!

Idea paint

I love putting things on paper and on a wall… very cool for a brainstorm-session and also nice as reminders…

My DIY string garden plant

I told you how much I love the idea of the string gardens. Well, I went to the nursery and bought a lovely plant and the husband tried his luck. I think it’s much easier to do with chicken wire than string. Have a look, I’m very happy!

String gardens

Wow, I am super inspired by the string gardens – I will try it myself – so beautiful, will be a nice feature inside and outside.

Succulents in corks

This should be an easy peasy DIY project. Cute.

Chicken wire + can project

So I did it again… DIY ;) This time I made a brown boring wall next to our garage more colorful with chicken wire and a bunch of cans I hung on it. Looks pretty nice.
