My new dining room

May 13, 2014

If you follow my blog you know, that I’ve been waiting for a new dining table for a while. It finally came a few months ago and I am so happy with it. When Flor blogged about my home a few weeks ago she reminded me, that I’ve forgotten to show you. I hadn’t even realised, so thank you Flor! This is what my old dining room and dining table looked like in my old home. I sold the dining table when I moved out last summer, because I wanted the freedom of finding the right solution for the new apartment. I looked at many tables in different shapes, sizes and materials before I made up my mind. I ended up with the Bella desk by Danish Hay. It was originally designed for the Bella Sky Hotel right here in Copenhagen to be used as a desk and later put into production. It spoke to me with the clear references to Danish mid-century design and yet still has a modern vibe to it. Just my kind of table. And yes, in case you are wondering (for the trained eye and regular readers) I moved my furniture around to try something new. I like it – what do you think? My famous-on-the-internet homemade Muuto wall lamp still works in this corner, even if I did make it to be a reading lamp. Find my DIY guide here and info on the Montana bookcase here. Don’t tell me. I see it. That ever-growing stack of magazines needs to be sorted. Again!

I loved your ‘old’ diningroom, but the new one is also very beautiful! Woo, the table is so cool! Do you have a place for a new ‘family’ member? I am available. ;)

Haha, you are funny Karlijn! Thanks for making me laugh. And thank you – I am so happy with it too! :))

Your dining room looks so pretty! I like your collection of prints on the walls!

Thank you Anu. I love prints – try to rotate them around every now and then ;)

It looks very nice. Where is your sofa corner now? May we see some pictures

The sofa is where the dining table used to be. I’ll see if I can snap some pics for you soon :)

:D <3 I wonder where you've put your sofa now by the way!

Reply Rikke May 13, 2014 at 22:06
The sofa is where the dining table used to be. But I guess that doesn’t help much as I never showed you the table ;) I will just have to shoot some pics for you and share soon – you are not the only one to ask :D

Det ser godt ud!

Synes faktisk det ser fedt ud med galleri hylden bag spisebordet. Glæder mig til at se billeder af det ny sofa hjørne:)

Mange tak :) Ja gallerihylder fungerer faktisk rigtig godt sådan her også. Dejligt at kunne rykke lidt rundt engang imellem :)
