Green is the new black

Details from our apartment. 

At our house today. 

This weekend we’ve been quite busy, but with a lot of fun stuff. We’ve gone swimming twice, the girls have participated in a bicycle race and, the thing I’m perhaps most pleased about: we’ve been cycling a lot around town to these different events. I really like it that we, using our chariot carrier and a kids seat behind my bike, now can transport the entire family without the need for neither a car nor public transportation. Of course, I have nothing against public transportation, but using bicycles just feels much more flexible. I predict that this summer we’ll use our bikes a lot! 

Tada! The new living room table. After having searched all over for the perfect table (including having decided upon both a black loop stand table from Hay and the white Ikea Norden table at different occasions) we decided to go for a really cheap and flexible solution. Two Melltorp tables put together. And we can make them into one long table as well, when we’re having guests over. I still think black would be nicer but we could always paint it…

I couldn’t resist getting one of those Råskog kitchen carts as well - don’t know what to use it for really, but I just think they’re really cool. Thinking of Ellis we’ll probably have to start out with storing toys in it. Eowyn and Ellis helped out putting it together, as you can see. :)

Today we’ve done some much needed spring cleaning around here. We’ve also planted some spring flowers. And we’ve made plans both for our little summer cabin and for our balcony. We need a new balcony floor and we’ve decided upon Bergo floor tiles. I think it will look nice and be much more practical than our existing wooden floor (which can’t be lifted easily so we can’t clean underneath it nor pick up things that we’ve dropped through the tiles). 

Oh, and Ester dressed up as Santa for Easter. In case you were wondering. 

Having a nine month old baby crawling around the house can sometimes result in a need for reshuffling. A table in front of the sofa isn’t really that practical, now is it? Much better to have a whole carpet full of free space. 

The last week have been really sunny and nice here in Gothenburg. So who cares if it’s still pretty damn cold, and that we are ill for what feels like the 11th time this looooong winter?.. Not me. Really. Happy Easter! 

We’re back home after a ski-trip up north. Every time I come back home after being away on holiday or a trip I realize again how much I love our apartment (even when it’s sort of a mess, like above). It feels really great to have such a nice place to come home to. 

Now we’re sooo ready for spring. How about you?

We’re at home ill, spending our time sorting and organizing our books in the new bookcase today. To the tunes of Steget. With a little help from a superhero.

Experimenting with a new theme on the blog today - trying this out with some old pics from our kitchen. Actually I’ve been considering moving away from Tumblr for a while; I really think it’s a great app but it’s not quite suited for my purposes. However, I’ve decided to stay on Tumblr a while longer. Perhaps this new theme will make me happier.
