Change of plan !

2013-01-06T21:14:00.000+00:00

Sorry about the inactive-ness on the blog lately, the problem is that I've been busy with my Tumblr site, it's a more product, industrial and interior based blog, I don't think I'll have time to do both, but I'll comebine the two, so if you still want to fallow me, you can go to modifydesign.tumblr.
Thank you all so much and I hope you stay with me, and I can keep giving people ideas and help them get inspired.

Minecraft

2012-09-27T12:14:00.000+01:00

Sorry, but I'm going to do a little promoting now, I'll blog later today.
I've been busy designing the earth for a video game competition, and it's up for voting right now and I'd really love it if you could rate my design and hopefully help me win so my design will get printed.

It's called Mine your own world and as the name of the game suggest, there's a lot of mining in this game, and your suppose to make your own world, so I connected the two together.

here's the link if the other one doesn't work.

DIY Furniture

2012-08-25T00:50:00.000+01:00

I'm going to take on furniture today, because they are so important in a home.
And sometimes it's hard to spot what will look good, what's worth saving, and what will be a lot of work.
It all depends on what you are willing to, and trust yourself to do, because everyone can reupholster a chair, giving enough time and the right tutorial.

And most importantly the will to do it.

First of all, don't look as the furniture as a whole, if you like a piece of it then you can use that in a more practical way, like this desk, you may not need a desk but this nightstand is one so cute, with minimum work.
See the blog on Sugarbeecrafts.

Reupholstering a chair can often be hard work, but look how beautiful, elegant and different it can look with a little piece of fabric, but maybe a little bit more of patience.

You can see the tutorial on how she does it on centsationalgirl.

And it's often seeing the possibilities in the detail, if it has some custom detail, some fascinating lines or even if it's just box shaped, if you can picture it fitting in your room with another color, it's almost a must.
It's really amazing how much difference just white paint can make, and painting wooden furniture white is really trending right now, and sandpapering the edges to make the furniture look old is also a neat trick, but note that it looks better on dark wood, or painting dark texture before the white on top.

This is a huge difference on this rather plain looking sideboard, but the wood sometimes adds to much texture that sometimes it's better to tone it down and make it simple. and for the ones that aren't afraid of color could also have some fun with the details on the middle doors, or get handles in fun bright color.

Sometimes the wood can be the splash of color, mixing different wood types is a good way to reuse old materials, and it gives a lot of personality and has different texture on each wood type, just watch out for splinters and sandpaper everything down good, specially when you're handling old wood.

And don't be afraid of something different, in color choice, method or style, you can with the right attitude give almost any furniture the right personality for your home. This is a painted glass table top, and you can see how to do this on designsponge

Now let your personalities shine and turn this

Into this.
What an amazing transformation, just by paint!

Have fun repainting old furniture and giving them new life !

un-clustering your bookshelf

2012-08-14T23:53:00.000+01:00

I wish I had time to blog more often, but here we go again!

Firstly, I want to talk about books, I love books, I love reading them but I don't like how clustered and unorganized they can get in the shelves.
Make your own book covers, maybe just some splashes of color that can bring a book case together and un-cluster it.

Or if you're not to much of a color-person, get some old maps or newspapers to have them the same color, and hand write the book titles on them so they'll be easier to find.

And it also matters if you don't have time or the patience for that you can cluster them beautifully, yes, that's possible.

Things like this I don't find pleasing to the eye at all, I don't want to check out the books, it's very un-welcoming to me. Everything is lined up and not one book is really put in a special place, it doesn't seem like there's a lot of thought being put into it to an outsider, even though the owner knows exactly where each book is.

It's cluster like this that makes me happy, there are a little bit of a color organization, but the books don't have to stack the same way in all the shelves, and put some character in there, some vases, statues, flowers or pictures, it looks like someone really loves their books and wants to make them as pleasing to the eye as they are to the mind.

This is probably hard to do, firstly there aren't a lot of books that come in so many varieties of color, at least not here in Iceland, you can make this yourself like with the rainbow books in the first picture, but it's going to be hard.

Having the books make a big picture is a great fun way to make the bookcase pop, like taking a picture of the family and gluing them on the ends of the books, it could make a really fun DIY !

cement transformed

2012-08-06T01:51:00.000+01:00

Hello ! And I'm sorry that I've been slacking, it's been crazy at work and inspiration hasn't been at it's best.
But I'll make up for it right now, I'll show you some youtube videos that I'm super excited about.
Firstly, there's a guy who's faking a stone wall and tree planks affect from cement.
This means that you can do this in your livingroom, bedroom, wherever you want different texture, and maybe make it a little bit more romantic.

Now, when I saw this I thought that he must have made these stencils by hand, and I still don't know if he did.
But I found this school/shop called Decorative Concrete Training, and they had this beauty.
Their website is terrible if you press "home", but in the link you can see the stencils they offer with many different textures.

So you can make your own, not exactly the same, but still very nice, maybe even better, depending on the project.

At betterpaths.com are more stamps you can buy online, there are some tree stamps there I like a lot.
And on that note I want to show you this video.

This is a great way to give your door some character, even some of your character, because no one makes things the same way twice by hand, plus you can't really see the difference between a real grain and a fake one.

I think this lamp from Brigg looks gorgeous.
(and they also tell you how to do this!)

These concrete coasters would look even better with some stamps on them, or paint them, for those who are good with a paint brush.
see more about these coasters here.

And here's a site and a project I'll leave you with, I want to make this when I'll need a countertop.
With a wood grain in it and a glass top on it.
It's a plan.

And since this blog now is about tree, I found this on my facebook wall while making this blog, this is an artist here in Iceland that makes these wonderful paintings, and she just posted this, trying new things and painting her artwork on tree drumbs, Her art is called Helma ART and you can see pictures of her work.
Wonderful stuff.

paint-dipped

2012-07-18T21:09:00.001+01:00

Hello again, sorry for no activity, I hope today's blog makes up for it.
Let's start with the paint-dipped trend, and how my favorite paint-dipped items look.

These spoons for example are so stunning, this is exactly what I think paint-dipping is about, connecting the old, with a new personal flare. Having different colors and even paint-dip your glasses to match like you can see here

Now, pinecones make a great decoration any time of the year, but to spice it up a little, dip them in paint and mix them in with normal ones or different colors, have half of the pinecone painted.

Originally found here

And of course, you should play with it and make it personal, I love this idea to make the paint drip up, by turning the pot upside-down, mix colors and have a good time !

Make the edges soft and feminine like ohhappyday.com did.

Or make it look like a fun mistake like seen on home-dzine.co.za

This is a wonderful way to decorate and I hope it will inspire some of you !

decorative accessories

2012-07-09T19:21:00.000+01:00

This blog will be a little bit of an inspiration for the little accessories you can add to your home, I'll try to have it every style, I for example love raw accessories, like these cement office equipments.

It's named Solid Desk Accessories designed and hand-cast at Magnus Pettersen Studio

The only thing I have a problem with here is there it seems to raw, there's always suppose to a little color, or else it seems boring and without any personality.

Woodcut Maps is amazing, they make a map of NY for example, made by wood, I love it.

You can choose the place you want to have on the picture.

This board has a personality, there's a great tutorial here.

Here's another great one from design sponge, This fish scale pendant lamp is amazing, click here to see the beautiful transformation.

I love it when old decorative frames are painted the same color, they match without matching, it mixes this personal factor with the raw basic minimalism.

Another great use of doilies.

What a great way to mix frames and plants together, the 3d affect is beautiful. I'd love to experiment with other kinds of flowers to match the wallpaper like these do, I think it looks amazing.

Again, the 3d affect is so crucial, it makes this beautiful and easy DIY project bring the colors of the wall and the naturistic forms mix with the plants.

Nature, dinosaurs and wine corks

2012-07-04T23:07:00.000+01:00

I like this idea a lot for a cute little artwork on the wall, maybe paint them different color, depending on what matches your space, and let your imagination control, pick something you find beautiful and is easy to get in your neighborhood, some people collect shells.

This may become a stepping stone in your garden, or even a beautiful bowl in your livingroom.

See the post here

I love this ! The tutorial is a little bit to basic though, so if you have any questions please let me know.
I think it'd be easiest to buy a light that has a battery, if you can't hide the cords that you would plug into the walls, if you have a battery powered one, you could hide it behind the canvas.
You can see it here

This Rock runner is such a beautiful and easy DIY projects if you got flat rocks close to you or someone in your family collected them. They also make a beautiful doormat.

And it might be a fun idea if you got kids to let them color the rocks in different colors and make it a little bit personal.
See how here

Here's an easy one for parties, it makes a fun little summer theme to the party.

And here's one with fresh herbs mixed with water.

Another cozy cork idea, there's no need to throw it away, there's a lot of things that you can use them for, it's important to not throw away the things that can me reused, and specially things like this, it can give such a calming and romantic feeling to a room.

I want these candle sticks ! I loved dinosaurs so much as a kid, and it's just such a personal feel for me, but it's also so easy, bright color spray or paint, and some dollar store toys !

personalize is the key to romance

2012-07-02T16:26:00.002+01:00

How easy ?

These red lips would add a really nice and elegant flavor to a livingroom, diningroom or even the bedroom.

This would also be so romantic over the bed, it's also extremely easy, see the how to here, it's not in english, but the pictures show it really well.

You can of course make this in any size, so I'd make a big headboard with a word like "love" or something that means a lot to the people who sleep in the bed, maybe your names ?

This lamp you can buy here for 22$, and there is a how to on that page also, so maybe some of you DIY geniuses can make your own versions ?
How romantic to go to sleep under the stars every evening.

This I find adorable, you and your partner, you and your kid, or your kids if you got two, can make a heart together. It's really personal and that's what romance and love are all about.

I think this is romantic, rusty and old, maybe I'm just weird like that, but the bed tray is something I must make. This almost screams perfect.

A moss ringbearer pillow, it doesn't have to be a ringbearer pillow, it can be a decoration in your house, a DIY tutorial here, there are so photos though. I'm sorry about that, put please personalize, it makes everything romantic.

Honeycomb

2012-07-02T15:53:00.001+01:00

I've been seeing a lot of DIY projects inspired by honeycombs lately, and since it's summer I'd like to show you my favorites !

Honeycomb smocking, it's a really easy tutorial, and it doesn't strain your hands as much as many other smocking tutorials do.
See tutorial here
If you have old curtains you'd like to freshen up, this would be a great solution, maybe a scarf.
I see some great ideas bobbling up in my head.

Honeycomb shelves. These are precious, and you can make as many connect together as you want, have them randomized across the wall or just have one or two. I you've read my blog at all you'll know how much I love driftwood and pallets, so I'd suggest old wood for the part, just make sure it handles pressure, that it's not to old.
See tutorial here

Now, I know this ottoman tub has been given a new life, and it looks amazing, but as for me, I don't know where to get a tub like this, so I saw this as a great idea to recreate the shelves you see above, if you re-size the shelve tutorial you can make an ottoman out of old wood.
There's not a tutorial for this item, but you can buy it here, it's a little pricey, so if you decide to make this yourself hope you'll e-mail me the results, I'd love to see it, my e-mail is guffaakristins@gmail.com.

That's it for today, I'll be posting blogs at least on mondays and thursdays from now on.
And hopefully more. Like my Facebook page to see updates, I always post there when I post a blog.

PVC pipes and books DIY

2012-06-20T23:12:00.001+01:00

These ideas are some that I feel that will personalize a bit more the small details in your home, so maybe we'll call it decoration tips part II !
Firstly the PVC pipes;

PVC pipes, there are some awesome things I found out you could do with those, like this candlestick, you could paint them to fit your room or make it stand out, either cold (when everything else is colorful) or vise versa.

Or as flower vases since it's summer, and the "Pretty Vase Collection by Francois Xavier Ballery" is in fact really pretty and a great DIY project !

I know this is a holiday craft, but I see so many possibilities !
Firstly, just as a work of art, in different colors and make some funky shapes out of it, constructions under a shelf or a table. storage for spices in the kitchen, for toothpastes and toothbrushes in the bathroom or to hold the shampoo, and I could go on and on.

Keep your laptop from overheating, and it just looks so cute !

And now to the books;

Personalized Iphone dock, it's so easy to make and it's a wonderful way to personalize your nightstand. Your favorite books or just some pretty covers, it's extremely easy to make like you can see here on Curbly.

This idea is made from a hardcover book, a 5$ lamp from IKEA and a rubber band, so extremely affordable, and with the right book, this can look super cool, if you have many books on a table, like in the picture, and have the "book lamp" in the middle, it can look really good.
See more here

Book planters, how cute is this !
See it here on homedit.

decoration tips

2012-06-17T13:53:00.000+01:00

Decorations are important, small, tiny changes in a room can mean a lot, even just one candlestick.
So if your unhappy with a room start by looking at the details, what can you add and what can you take out.
It can make a whole new room for you, without spending almost any money.
And here are some easy, affordable ideas.

Need new bookends ?
This is such an easy DIY task, and it doesn't cost that much.
you can use all kinds of plastic animals & toys, just find what you like the most.
See the whole tutorial here

Now, this is an easy decorating tip, you can take any picture and print it out, nail by the outlines on a plank of wood, and you could also just nail one nail in the middle, if you don't want a heart, have the nails any color, the wood any color and the string any color! this screams creative ideas for me, how about you ?

I like this idea a lot, you can't always find a flowerpot that works for you or they are too expensive, but this way, you don't need to buy, or make, a flowerpot at all, you just need a little bit of heavy clay mud, or bonsai soil, potting soil, moss and twine, and of course a small plant.
See the how to here

This is a wonderful way to display books in your house, and it's perfect in little kids room, they have a harder time hurting themselves on this then on pointy corners on a shelf.

Like Marisa did on her blog

the full tutorial is here

This idea from apartment therapy is wonderful. It's easy, affordable and looks amazing.
See the tutorial here

And like you may have noticed already, wood done right is one of my favorite DIY.

Recyclable summer

2012-06-14T15:25:00.000+01:00

Today I want to bring you some fun and recyclable ideas.

You can make these out of any jars, and it's a wonderful way to make your own glasses, I'd like a tall one for a jam that I love.

This one I have at home, and I've always loved how tall these jars are, and with a little detail in the bottom.
You can buy a cut out mason lid here and save you some trouble because depending on the jar lid, some might be hard to cut out, but you can always take a screw and a hammer and nail in a few holes if you don't need or want a fancy lid in the shape of a flower or something like that.

This star shaped lid is also fun idea, can be bought here.

These old cans used as yarn stash, the cans are covered with contact paper and glued together, it's easy and eye-catching, it's time to start knitting this summer!
Fun and easy how-to here

Save some money on school supplies next winter and make a notepad out of your kid's favorite cereal.

This is so cool and easy and the kids will love this !
tutorial here

This chandelier is made from plastic bottles.

And this wonderful decoration, which can also be turned into a chandelier like this one.

These are all such wonderful and inspiring recyclable ideas that I hope you get inspired and make some use of your trash this summer.

I'd like to point out this website: earth911, it has some wonderful ways to reuse your household packaging and waste in a beautiful way, please go to their website and be inspired.

candles and lamps

2012-06-07T00:28:00.001+01:00

We don't need candles and lamps here in Iceland over the summer, due to the fact that the sun doesn't really set here. But that means we need a new way to decorate them if we don't want to put them in storage.
So here are some beautiful ideas that you can also do.

Here are sticks used as decoration on some basic glass candle holders, we have a lot of skinny trees here in Iceland so we can go out in the yard and cut some off while trimming. I'd use some bushes also if I could, some sticks with leafs on them, and you can buy spray that protects decorations from catching on fire.
So I'd think it could really brighten it up to have a little green in there.
Get the how to here

I love this, the orange candle is one of the greatest and easiest DIY I've seen, if you eat oranges that is.
It's simple and it got such a lovely summer feeling to it, and it's very cheap.
see the DIY here

Concrete candlesticks, now this I want!
It's so easy and so beautiful, and I need to try this with some textured paper or something like that to get a simple texture on it, just glue it inside of the paper cup before putting the concrete in. Please, if you try this let me know if it works out with thick paper or if you needed something thicker.
See the how to here

Here are some egg candles, same basic idea as the orange one, this is so cute !
how to here

These thread lights look amazing, see the whole how to here.
This is a hybrid candlestick though, because it's recommended not to use a real flame for obvious reasons, but you can buy little LED candles, and I recommend using more than one color if that matches your room colors, it would put a nice little detail to the room.

Here are chandeliers with the same technique.
See how here

If you're looking for something different this might be your solution, I can picture this on the floor in the bedroom or the bathroom to get around without waking people up in the middle of the night.
Use waterproof lights though, no matter where you're going to put it, it's better to be safe than sorry.

See how to here

And of course the doily chandeliers, these are so elegant, and surprisingly easy to make !
See how here

And there are endless options with this idea, color the doilies in different colors, put them on the screen of your old table lamp, and so on and so on.

I hope some of this inspired you to make your home more personal in the easiest way possible.

make changes with wood

2012-05-30T00:26:00.001+01:00

There are a lot of things that you can do with wood, it looks beautiful when it's raw and gets to shine, but it also works great as a texture, painted on or using the lines in wood as inspiration.

Like here, this pallet is used to make a wonderful texture on the picture, I love this idea, print a big picture and cut it down to fit on the pallet, it's different and can work in almost any room, a romantic headboard maybe ?

Now, I see this picture a lot, it's all over the internet, and honestly, it deserves to be, this is a wonderful, romantic and cozy idea. And for a person with medium skills with a hammer, this is a do-able project, I'd use a different wood, I see a romantic a bit darker wood, but not to dark either, I don't think that would look good, but I'd definitely not use this light because I prefer it darker.
Don't do this alone if you aren't good with a hammer, I'd recommend talking to a contractor, because if you're going to raise your floor like this, or dig down depending on the room, is going to be a lot of work, but it's going to be worth it, just look at this room!

Old pallets used as a wall, this is just amazing, I love old wood, it's almost like it has character, like antique furniture do.

Now, tree limb coasters is something that I'm going to do soon, click here to see how it's done and the final outcome, it's amazing and I can't wait to do this myself.

I'll make a new one soon, it's late in Iceland and I'm a little tired.
Adios!

DIY bookshelves and wall decals.

2012-05-21T18:04:00.000+01:00

Bookshelves

I love the bridge bookshelf, and now I've found the DIY for it !
This is so simple but also it breaks up the normality of a bookshelf.
See how to make one here

Skateboards are often a beautiful substitute for shelves, skateboards often have beautiful graffiti on them and the sandpaper on top of them can keep books from slipping if you tilt the shelves like this, but here the wheels have been used to support the books in some places.

This one may be a bit pricey, you probably don't have many tables lying around that you have no use for, but if you got 2-3 it might work because you saw the tables in half and paint them the same color or different colors to add a bit of artistic flair to it.

Wall decals.

This one is from the same website, I love this idea because it gives you complete control on what you want to do, it's just contact paper cut down and glued on, you can read more here.
And it can a simple form like bricks or if you're handy and patient, something like this;

And you can always find pictures online and with a little photoshop skill, make an outlines of that image that you can print out and draw on the contact paper.

And if you have no such talent, then I recommend you check out Etsy.com, and search for wall decals(you have already did that if you press the link above), there are thousands of different wall stickers in all sizes and price ranges, you can definitely find something you like there.
Here are some of my favorites;

The cutest thing ever for a newborn.
buy it here

Here's another one, and if want this click here, and you can customize the name!

This beautiful Buddah only costs 20$.
Click here

This romantic sticker for a headboard is 21.99$ here

The wall decals go from around 20$ up to 80$, that's usually huge pieces.
Please let me know if you have any requests and thank you for coming.

DIY projects

2012-05-16T17:37:00.000+01:00

I'm sorry for the no activity, I've been going through finals and there has been no time for inspiration for a blog, or time to do a blog for that matter, but I'll make a schedule for blogging so it will be more consistent from now on.
But on with today's blog;

This table is made from different sizes of wood, make sure to use tree glue or a glue-gun with clear glue.
And having the glass on top or a wooden plate is really important, else it won't be sturdy and no use for it unless you want to use it as a foot-rest.

You can see the DIY here

This one is easy, these hangers are a great substitute for frames, you can get them at IKEA.

Log jars can give a great look to a shelf, table or the room as a whole, see the how-to here.

Learn here how to make a lace bowl, wonderful and easy DIY project.

creative walls

2012-04-22T18:10:00.000+01:00

Sticker fun by Elly Nelly from NY, it's called "Get a grip" and there are 17 little persons you can hang around the house.

Beautiful hangers who don't look like hangers at first are a great way to decorate also, designer Jody Mattiol changed the famous Oscar Wilde saying into a beautiful yet functional coat hanger.

These Ninja stars coat hangers found on ThinkGeek.com are one of my favorites, they may not fit every home, but it certainly is a fun way to keep the kids interested in hanging up their clothes, get them one or two stars each, and hanging up your coats may actually become fun.

Cute Moss Art decoration ! Environmentally friendly and super chic, you can also make patterns or pictures using these tiles and the moss, like pixel art! Loving it.
Designed by INAX

"Kúlan" translated to "the bubble" from Icelandic destroys annoying echoes in high spaces, Bryndís Bolladóttir, the designer, makes them in 3 different sizes, and many different colors, they are made from felted Icelandic wool, It not only works wonderfully and is very child friendly, I can picture it looking amazing in clean minimalistic spaces, but also in a warm wooden-cabin feeling.

And if you want to have some fun with paint, here are two fun and experimental ideas I'd love to try it out, please let me know if you have done it or are going to try it, Id love to see some pictures also.

1. Using a sponge instead of a brush, I believe it will give a funky, fun texture !

2. Here it looks amazing, and I want to know if this is as simple and easy as it looks.

Beautiful ways to tell the time

2012-04-15T20:23:00.002+01:00

I like the "number chaos" kind of clocks, even though personally I'd never be able to tell the time well, the background confuses me when I'm trying to tell the time, but it's a beautiful clock non the less.

The chair is made of rotational moulded polythene. This fully recyclable material makes Missix a robust, lightweight and handy chair, which is both easy to clean and impact and weather-resistant.

Learn here how to make a chandelier, a vase or any ideas you can think of with just balloons, glue and yarn, and you can use sugar as well instead of the glue in some cases.

These halloween decorations could make a lovely inspiration for old vases you have, see here.

Old 'boring' picture frames can be given new life with yarn.

And it softens up the picture frames beautifully to have them in the same color.

Or make something completely different and colorful to add personality to those special pictures!

If you have a beautiful handwriting, this is a great idea for a new screen for a lamp.
romantic and gorgeous.

I want this as a little reading nook now.

Use old books and magazines to make a nice cozy coffee table.

If you find an old antique table like this, even in a bad condition, can be made pretty by painting it or spraying it if there is a lot of details like on this one.
They have such personality.

moss decoration

Moss art has been growing a lot the last weeks and months, it's on buildings, in the bedroom, the bathroom, everywhere! So I want to share a few pictures I've found and the inspiration and the ideas I get.

This is a great idea for a wall.. it would be amazing.

Make a scratches in the wall, some basic random pattern, and let moss grow in there, maybe different kinds of moss.

It's amazing.

The moss room restaurant has a beautiful wall.

I love this, with a simple lighting it's warm and cozy.
