Scrambling

I love to draw, and I'm almost known for scrambling on anything I can get my hands on. I always had a lot of drawings in my schoolbooks, on my pencil cases, in magazines or just what ever piece of paper I had lying near me. It really calms me down, and I almost do it automatically without thinking over what I'm drawing. Last night I drew some hearts and I did some shading. I'm not a technical drawer, but I love sketching and that may come of all my time spent scrambling on everything and anything. So, keep on scrambling people!

Portfolio

I took a few photos of my portfolio which contains work from my interior design year and my visual merchandising year. In my portfolio I have collages, sketches, styling photos, 3D drawings, room descriptions, lighting plans, room sets etc. The purpose of a portfolio is to show how versatile you can be and how good you are, so never put a project you don't feel represents you, your style and justifies how good you know you are in your portfolio. Also, keep it simple. Don't make a very complicated design on your portfolio, remember that there are going to be a lot of different people with different taste that is going to look at it! 

Oversettelse/Translation

I have noticed that I've gotten some readers from outside of Norway, so I thought I would start to translate the texts I write in Norwegian to English. I've started to translate all the old posts too, but that will take some time. Hope you guys are pleased with the content of my blog, and that you comment if there is anything you miss!

Subscriptions

Most people who are interested in interior design like to read interior magazines, - I love it! I read a number of different magazines, but subscribe to my favorites: Bo Bedre, Rom 123 and Elle interiør.

It almost makes me happy when a new magazine arrives in the mail, and I can read the same one over and over again, and I study all the pages carefully. I save all my magazines, and I'm gonna keep saving them.

They give med so much inspiration and new ideas in the profession i have chosen, and it's good to sit down with an old magazine when you need a little extra.

Vitra Book

One of my favorite books about interior design is a product catalog from Vitra, which shows all their furniture through out the ages. Each furniture has it's full name, picture and information, and even witch year it was designed.

A lot of it is designed in the 20's and 30's, which I think is absolutely amazing! It's fantastic how inovative some people are, and how much of Vitra's designs that are timeless. Vitra is one of my favorites, and one of Vitra's designers were Ray and Charles Eames. I love to look through this book!

Blue

I thought I would show you one of my first stylings that I did in school. I really love that deep blue color mixed with the old brown and creamy white.
