These are the cabinets that we have over our bed and they are from the kitchen department as we couldn’t find any regular cabinets in the perfect size.
Haha as they are placed over the bed we were so nervous that we wouldn’t secure it enough when hanging them up so we added EXTREMELY many screws…
With this I just wanted to say, don’t be afraid to be a open minded and look around in unexpected places when you are in search for something!

I’m so in love with how our office is coming together! From a wild idea, where Nicolai and myself were talking about that we might be able to have a brick wall in the apartment, to this?! We even have the glass wall I’ve always dreamt off!
When doing renovations on your own, it is so easy to forget where you started and just keep looking for the next project. Often the projects also become more advanced or courageous and we forget how much we actually have accomplished.
Being forced to take a break of fixing the apartment has given us perspective and I am so incredibly happy that we have the chance to experiment as we do!
To all the home accounts out there - gosh you are doing great!

Why buy an expensive concrete pot when you can make it yourself?

Concrete and just nice pots in general are just so expensive so I thought, why not try and do it ourselves!
This @oneroomchallenge is so great as it makes us get closer to the dream office! Now I only need to find a good plate to go with it.

— HOME OFFICE —
We finally have shelves in our office and we are very sure we will change the decorations many times until we have enough books to fill it out 📚
Participating in the @oneroomchallenge has really motivated us to do the projects we talked about a long time and we love it!
Do you postpone projects or start with them at once?

— THE DINING ROOM —
We Are slowly getting there with the dining room, the bar is ready, sliding door is up and we now only have the floor left!
When we moved in the big black and white carpet was laying on the floor, not our favourite, but we thought it was nice that the previous owners left it so we had something to make it a bit more homely until we got settled.
However, it was covering the biggest stain, almost the size of the carpet so the carpet is still there a year later!
In a way it’s nice as it forces us to do something about the floor and gosh have we tried to come up with solutions, at the moment I think that we will go crazy and try out a concrete floor?
It can’t go more than wrong… right??

— STAIRCASE —
Our apartment used to be a store that was rebuilt to an apartment and has quite a funky layout, it’s in 4 levels which means we also have a lot of stairs which we absolutely love.
However we do not really like the style of the stairs and does not really fit into the New York loft vibe that we are slowly trying to accomplish. When we moved in it was all wood and we quickly gave it some white paint which made it a lot better.
With our little puppy the stairs needs some reconstruction before he can start walking up and down (plus gets older) - but gosh he wants to try them out!
All of you with dogs, what are your thoughts with stairs and your dog?

3 years side by side ❣️
The picture is from the day after we got the keys to our apartment. Remember that we couldn’t wait to start fixing and kept on saying to each other “we actually own this place” - we were over the moon happy and spent days and nights painting and building since we were so excited (which most likely can be seen on our cheesy smiles 😅)
It’s only with you that I want to spontaneously buy a renovation project ♥️ #redesigndiy

— HEADBOARD DIY —
The headboard is one of the DIY projects that has taken the longest time to build.
Annie built it already in her old apartment with an angry downstairs neighbour. Due to the building noice Annie had to time to build everything the neighbour was not at home 😅guide for the headboard will come up in stories and saved in highlights - are you friends with your neighbour so you can do DIY projects? #redesigndiy

— PICTURE WALL —
The ceiling in the dining room is several meters so we are working on getting some colours in on the big white wall. It’s amazing what a difference paintings and wall art make to a room!
Are you picky to what goes on your walls? #redesigndiy

— IKEA HACK —
Swipe for before pictures.
The drawer is originally from IKEAs kids department and we redid the front to fit into our hallway.
The drawer we found cheap second hand and it had big handles that we didn’t want.
Instead we cut of a bit along the top to make it easy to open and then used the panels to cover over the holes.
We have always loved the herringbone structure on floors and furniture and wanted to try it out ourselves. To create the pattern we ordered some ice cream sticks where we cut of the oval ends and then started to create the pattern.
It was the first time trying and we am pretty happy with the result.
What do you think?

— BRICK WALL —
This is the absolute dustiest project that we have ever done! But we are so happy with the result!!
Exposing the brick wall was one of the first ideas that we had for the apartment, however we had no clue if there was brick or not beneath the plaster and if there were, what colour it was??
Most of all we wanted a red brick wall and we decided to open up a little corner to start with and then it just continued. Think I yelled at least hundred Times “nooo the color of the brick is changing” during this period. Even if it is one of our biggest projects so far, it’s by far one of the most fun projects that we have done!

The hallway is finally starting to come together, a lot of you have been following on stories and we are so happy for all the support and engagement from all of you to get this done! Phu it took longer than expected but we are so happy with the result!!
Now we have to find a nice way to hang the jackets and we are done! Any suggestions? #redesigndiy

— COLOURFUL WALLS — Trying to figure out what

— COLOURFUL WALLS —
Trying to figure out what colour you want to have when painting can be a long and time consuming process and it is not very fun to have colour samples on the walls during this time. We figured out that we could hide them behind the paintings. This made the choice much more fun and it didn’t feel like we were in the middle of a renovation before we took a decision! Do you usually try the colours first, or do you decide in the store and dive straight to it? #redesigndiy

— BEDROOM —
We love colors, and it is so exciting to experience with contrasts and also shades of different colours. Annie had previously built the headboard so the task was to find a colour that would fit with the blue velvet. We realised that it was a more tricky task then we thought since colours change a lot depending on the light during the day.
We tried a lot of different versions, and in the end we decided for the more lighter colour (left on video)!
Do you dare colours? #redesigndiy
