Irony

I was looking through some of my old posts, especialy the one about the big dish since I've just painted it again. I never really got it to fit in the living-room, so now it's getting a new chance in the kitchen.

After a lot of back and forth considering colors for the kitchen I've ended up with blue and tangerine. Funny how it ended up with those colors, seems like they chose me!

I got these lovely vases after my grandparents.

Then, when I passed a used-marked in Stavern, I saw these bottles! I'm using them for water.

And here is the irony! In the first post about the dish I said that it was too orange. Well, now it's orange!!

Think it looks good with the vases and bottles :)

DIY fat

Jeg har lenge ønsket meg et stort fat til å ha levende lys på. Mamma fant et til meg på en gjenvinningsstasjon. Passe størrelse, men jeg syntes det var for oransje.

For a while I´ve been wanting a big dish to put candles on. My mum found me this one. Good size, but I think it´s to orange.

Jeg ville gjerne ha det gullfarget, så jeg kjøpte gullmaling. Den var litt gul, så jeg prøvde å blande i litt cyan. Synes likevel ikke det ble bra.

I wanted i goldcolored, så I got some paint. It was a bit yellow, so I tried to mix in a bit of cyan. Not happy with the result.

Så det endte med hvitt. Litt kjedelig, men bedre enn hva det var.

It ended up with white. Boring, but better than it was.

Grunnen til at jeg endte på hvitt er at jeg vil at vasen jeg fikk av mormoren min skal synes. Og den synes best når den står alene på en hvit bakgrunn.

The reason I ended up whit white is cause i want the vase I got from my gran to show. And it showes best on it´s own on a white surface.

Bordet skal få ny farge, men vet ikke helt om det blir mørk brun eller hvitt. Kjøpt på loppemarked for 50 kr.

The table is getting a new color, but not sure whether it will be dark brown or white.
