food: bright and beautiful, salad and muffins


18 months ago we took part in making a cook book for a restaurant in Iceland, named Happ, where our friend, Lukka, is the owner. The focus on Happ is on healthy apetite, raw and pure food. Gunnars sister, Erna, was the editor and she made most of the recipes, I did the food styling and Gunnar shot all the photos. We will publish some recipes on Home and Delicious from now on with healthy pleasure.

Queen of Her Own Quiet Home…


“Hail, woman! Hail, thou faithful wife and mother,
The latest, choicest part of heaven’s great plan.

None fills thy peerless place at home, no other
Helpmeet is found for laboring, suffering man.


Hail, thou home circle, where, at day’s decline,
Her moulding power, her radiant virtues shine!


Not in the church to rule or teach, her place;
Not in the mart of trade, or senate halls;
Not the wild, festive scene is hers to grace;
Not Fashion’s altar her its victim calls;
Not here her field of triumph; but alone...


She moves, the queen of her own quiet home.”


Poem by Rev. Mark Trafton (1810 - 1901)

Paintings by George Goodwin Kilburne (1839 - 1924)

design: cu for copper



For years now, metals such as steel, aluminium or iron have dominated in architecture and interiors. We have favored them when choosing tabletops or cabinets in kitchens, when picking furniture and objects for the home, such as lamps, cutlery and vases. Recently “warmer” metals such as brass, bronze and copper have been having a comeback, especially copper which is practically everywhere these days, on popular interiorblogs and on the pages of interior magazines. 

–Gerður Harðardóttir / koolandkreativ



Tom Dixon´s Copper Shade is a phenomenal success and now Scandinavian design classics such as Mogens Lassen´s Kubus 4 candleholder (1962) and Erik Magnussen´s Stelton vaccum jug (1976), are available in Copper for the first time. I personally love when copper pipes for plumbing are left exposed in kitchens or bathrooms or when used in tables or as coat hangers. Copper harmonizes beautifully with minimalistic spaces, giving them a welcoming warmth. Copper also blends easily with different types of wood, marble or various slaps of stone.

birds of a feather...




An empty and promising space to decorate. How to do it? Umm, for me I feel the windows 
and the colour of the space set the tone, hence the fireplace and the rug. Natural hues and materials, 
textile in cotton and linen, simple furniture and accessories allowed to float all around to 
change the space regularly. Plants to add colours and enhance the natural, living style.

style: patterned mismatch!



Not for everybody, some may think of it as a tabu, but why? We use different patterns together in interior design so why not when we dress up. Patterns can create a whole like plain colours do. Start with stripes, dots and flowers and find out what suits you best. Then you can take a more daring step if you feel so. I'm sure it will turn out great.

Free Printable Labels for Nuts and Seeds ~ Pantry Series


"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
~ Genesis 1:29

Our first foods in the Garden of Eden certainly deserve their own spot in the limelight. We store the majority of our nuts and seeds in the freezer (to keep them from going rancid), however, a smaller amount can safely be kept in airtight containers for quick snacks and such.


We went "round" on these labels because we store them in jars. However, they can still be used in the traditional way (affixed to the front). We continued the floral theme in order to coordinate them with our basic pantry labels.


I am rather addicted to the plastic caps. They turn every canning jar into a convenient storage container. 

Would you like to label a set for your pantry?


Simply press the link from the menu below which takes you to the document service and then you may print the PDF file for FREE. You can either print them out on plain paper, cut to size and affix to your containers with glue or print them out on sticker paper and cut to size.

You will find our "Basic Pantry Labels" here and our "Seasonings, Spices and Such" set here.  I invite you to subscribe to this blog (located on the sidebar) in order to keep updated on future homemaking printables.


These simple, organizational projects are a fun way to sprinkle love into ordinary spaces. They help to turn a humble house, into a home sweet home.


"Her spirit (the wife) gives the home its atmosphere. Her hands fashion its beauty. Her heart makes its love. And the end is so worthy, so noble, so divine, that no woman who has been called to be a wife, and has listened to the call, should consider any price too great to pay, to be the light, the joy, the blessing, the inspiration of a home."
~ J.R. Miller (1840 - 1912)
