I found lots of inspiration for a future home at Elfa. Elfa is a Scandinavian furniture company, started in 1947, and now is comprised of about 10 firms, delivering furniture all over the world. They seem to have perfected the idea about smart storage as well as elegance. When ever I walk into a house or a home I almost automatically try to find how the home owners have solved the never-ending question of storage. …

I believe that I might have blogged about this porcelain before, but I just really think that all of the pieces are very nice. Also you can just about have any color that you like. I just love the black and pink porcelain. My two favorites are this black flower plate and this pink cake plate, the only change I would make is that I would want the flower plate pink and the cake plate …
Inori china in all its glory
The Japanese kitchen fascinates me. Not only is the food insanely tasty, but also it is beautiful to look at. And to compliment the beautiful food the china obviously has to be simple, but decorative, to not steal the show from the eye catching food. Therefore having white china is smart, white usually just makes you realize that the china exists but doesn’t overtake. Also the shapes of the china also has to be clean …
A bad feeling
This feeling I have been having, the feeling that I am the worst friend in the entire world wont go away. I just want to feel like my friends don’t hate me. Hopefully my friend will forgive me… ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karoleen – Photographer © 2005-2011 All Rights Reserved. Contact me at mail@karoleen.se .
New times ask for new magazines?
I just ended my subscription to Elle Sverige (the Swedish Elle) . Its the end of an Era. In the olden days I used to read the magazine from cover to cover, several times. Now I just flip through it and then put in the stack with the rest of the Unread Elle’s. It just doesn’t feel right. So right now I’m thinking about subscribing to Sköna Hem or some other Decorating, interior design magazine. …
The question of the day
Omröstningarna på Expressen är alltid så fantastiskt underhållande och smarta, fakta-baserade, vältänkta, uttrycksfulla, nödvändiga, beskrivande…. Eller så är de bara idiotiska! Expressen.se hur kommer det sig att ni frågar en sån idiotisk fråga? Vad då är terabyte viktigt? för vadå…??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karoleen – Photographer © 2005-2011 All Rights Reserved.

The Lip Lady
The Lip Lady is a lady in the USA that helps people get enhanced lips without surgery, through contouring. And yes this is obviously a good option, because it just seems plain old dumb to surgically enhance your lips. The whole deal is to bye her lip stencils, 6 of them, and then using them to enhance your lips. Total charge for this is $22.95. Also the package includes a lip liner. There is a …
Delicious baking
I found these, Silicups, silicon muffin forms at Williams-Sonoma. I love them. Individual muffin tins that are easily peeled of the muffin and easily washable. Also it’s pretty smart that you don’t have to use a whole muffin tin if you just want to make 2 muffins for example. These tins hold 2 oz and can be bought in a package of 12, for $24. Apparently if you live in Sweden, Lagerhaus has silicon tins, …

Insikten
P.S jag har kommit på att det är Caffe Latte jag tycker om, i maskinen på jobbet och inget annat, allt annat smakar bränt vatten (yep jag vet att det låter som en ganska omöjlig kombination, men jag lovar att det är så det smakar, möjligtvis rostat vatten) D.S ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karoleen – Photographer © 2005-2011 All Rights Reserved.
