must say, our Christmas tree is a bit crazy! We got it delivered yesterday and it makes me laugh every time I look at it. Like oh my, that’s an enormous tree! Compared to the typical Swedish spruce I grew up with (cut down by Grandpa in a forest nearby the day before Christmas Eve) [...]

Bedrrrroom

Trendey has been awfully quiet lately..! I’m busy saving the world, and if not Henen decides on a sudden comeback, this slow is how it’ll stay a couple more months. To spice up the place a little, here’s some views from my favourite room. Firstly, note that I put my grey skirt on the Ge’-lamp. [...]
