the IKEA weekend

This week I have only thought about the remake of my little house. In previous posts I've mentioned that I've been looking at getting things from IKEA. I'm looking at getting stuff that can help me make the most of a small space and that gives me value for my money. Here in Sweden, IKEA is the best choice for that.

Under den här veckan har jag bara tänkt på förändringen av mitt lilla hus. I tidigare inlägg har jag nämnt att jag har funderat på att köpa saker från IKEA. Jag är ute efter saker som kan hjälpa mig att få ut så mycket som möjligt från ett litet utrymme och som ger mig valuta för pengarna. Här i Sverige så är IKEA det bästa alternativet.

The closest IKEA store is an, at least a 3 and a half hour, drive away, so at first the plan was to buy the things online. But everything isn't available online, you don't get to see and touch and you will have to wait for the things to arrive. Tomorrow my sister and I will drive to IKEA instead. My mom wants to go too, so she'll probably join us.

Den närmaste IKEA affären är en, minst 3 och en halv timmes, bilresa bort, så först tänkte jag köpa sakerna online. Men allt finns inte på nätet, man kan inte se och känna och man måste vänta på att sakerna ska levereras. Imorgon kommer min syster och jag att köra till IKEA istället. Min mamma vill också åka, så hon följer antagligen med oss.

This means that I have to have everything more or less planned by tomorrow morning, which in turn means no time for making any well made illustrations. But it's exciting, isn't it? I've never had an huge interest in IKEA, but now I suddenly know everything about their products.

Det betyder att jag måste ha allt mer eller mindre planerat i morgon bitti, vilket i sin tur betyder att det inte finns tid att göra välgjorda illustrationer. Men det är spännande, eller hur? Jag har aldrig varit speciellt intresserad av IKEA, men nu kan jag helt plötsligt allt om deras sortiment.

A bit cut off. Too large for the scanner. It's legs if you can't tell.

I've fixed the RSS feed

Those of you following this blog through the RSS feed, will see (have already seen) that old posts have appeared again as new. I'm so sorry about that. I just found out that the I had the links back to the original posts where wrong and I had to fix it. Again, I apologize about all of it. I just have to check everything twice in the future.

Ni som följer den här bloggen via RSS flödet kommer att se (har redan sett) att gamla inlägg har dykt upp som nya. Jag ber om ursäkt för det. Jag upptäckte just att jag hade fel länkar tillbaka till originalinläggen och var tvungen att rätta till det. Återigen, jag ber om ursäkt för allt. Jag måste bara kolla allt två gånger i framtiden.

The before pictures

Before I moved any furnishers around I took some pictures of the interior of the friggebod. Here you go, a 360 degree tour!

Innan jag flyttade några möbler så tog jag några bilder av friggebodens insida. Varsågod, en 360 graders rundtur!

The friggebod door

My pretty orange door. The black thing is to keep the bugs out during the summer.

Laptop and chest

The chest will be moved, but the laptop will stay.

Wardrobe and chair

This wardrobe will be removed, I'll get a much better one instead! The large chair will take it's place.

The bed

I've slept so well in this bed, but it will have to go. I'm getting my own sofa-bed instead!

The storage corner

This is where I plan to have shelves for storage.

There's a previous post with a photo of the outside and a sketch of the room layout after refurnishing.

Det finns ett tidigare inlägg med ett foto av utsidan och en skiss på hur rummet kommer att se ut efter ommöbleringen.

Just a few changes

For a month now I've done the daily walk challenge and the from Polyvore to illustration challenge. I'm quite satisfied with the result. The main goal was to get going and I've done that.

Under en månad så har jag jobbat med två uppgifter, daily walk challenge och Polyvore to illustration challenge. Jag är rätt nöjd med resultatet. Huvudmålet var att komma igång och det har jag gjort.

Now I'm going to make some changes least one drawing within a theme every day. These drawings will only be drawn from photos or real life. The goal is to improve my drawing skills even more. I know I'm good at it, but I do need to practice some more. The theme for the first week will be humans.

Nu ska jag göra vissa förändringar. Istället för ett foto och en teckning varje dag, så ska jag göra minst en teckning inom ett tema varje dag. Dessa teckningar ska bara göras från foton eller verkligheten. Målet är att förbättra min teckningsförmåga ännu mer. Jag vet att jag är bra på det, men jag behöver öva ännu mer. Första veckans tema kommer att bli människor.

The Polyvore to illustration challenge will also change. Instead of making new outfits, I will rework the illustrations I've already made until they kick ass!

Polyvore to illustration kommer också att förändras. Istället för att sätta ihop nya klädkombinationer, så kommer jag att göra om det illustrationer som jag redan har gjort tills det är skitbra!
