DIY & Go Green!

 Yesterday I took these green paint samples at a shop (oops). I was a little embarrassed, but I wanted to use them to make this green mood board :) With handwritten paint samples, masking tape and inspirational photos you can make great mood boards. Of course I did it with green colors. See my other post: 50 shades of green.
 
I don't have much green in my house, but since a while I have some mini plants in a green house. I did an easy DIY with these terracotta pots today. I made them look older. Like they have been in my garden for a while. You can paint them with white acrylic paint and water.
 
In our house the main colors are black, white and grey with a touch of color. Not so much green for me... 
 
But I l do love the Go Green trend like this: urban farming and plants and flowers in your interior.
I'm doing some urban farming myself: trying to grow radish, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, strawberries, lots of herbs, lettuce, blackberry, fig, grapes and artichoke in my garden. It's great to do with children too :) .  If you want to read more about urban farming: you should check out this blog post of Zilverblauw about her Urban Garden. I love her beautiful blog, photos and style.
 
Do you have green in your house or do you grow your own fruit & vegetables? I would love to hear your comments!
 
 I want to wish you a nice weekend, because I'm going to enjoy the beautiful weather today!

This Saturday I love...


 



This Saturday I love these new wall stickers from Ferm Living to decorate a kid's room. I want to change the room/ walls of Eva's room this year and this will be a great option. The price for a set is € 17,50, so it's a much cheaper solution than wall paper. They can be applied to all even and smooth surfaces and come in stars, dots, triangles, butterflies and drops in the colors black and neon pink (they will not stick to rough surfaces such as brick walls etc.). To see all great new products from Ferm Living: click here. Which one do you like? It's so hard to chose from these, but love the dots, drops and triangles in black.
