Why is it that when you finally decide to go for it, the object is either sold out, out of stock or they simply don’t make them anymore?
We’ve been talking about buying the Agam chair in black from IKEA for quite some time now. And when we finally decide to do so, we find out that they don’t make the chair anymore. And of course it’s not just the black one, it’s all of them.
Lesson learned – don’t talk about it for ages – just do it 
Now I have to find a replacement chair – any suggestions?
We’re packing everything in boxes right now – and it’s quite a mess around here. But next weekend, we get the keys to our new home. So therefore it’s a bit quiet around here, I know. But I want to share with you a few pictures from my week. As always, you’ll find lots more on Instagram.
It’s sure is strange packing it all in boxes once more. But hopefully, this is the last time for a very long time. We drove by our new house today, and we cannot wait to begin our ‘new’ life there.
My cute girl looking out the window. Older boys are skating outside, and she finds them rather fascinating.
Relaxing in our sofa last night after a wonderful afternoon which turned into dinner with a lovely couple and their adorable kids.
One of our favourite books right now.
For the Photo a Day May challenge I had to take a picture of our kitchen earlier this week. So this is what it looked like, before we started packing.
Here’s a cool DIY project for your door. I’m considering doing the same thing, if I can find a suitable door in our new home.
The apartment belongs to blogger Charlotte, who blogs at Blackbird.Her place is for sale here, so if you’re looking for an apartment in Göteborg, this might be it. And even though you’re not home hunting you should check it out because of the cool kitchen.

After a rather strange and rollercoaster week last week, I didn’t feel like blogging. So I took some time off to get things sorted out. And of course these things took place while we were packing our whole life in boxes. It has indeed been an unusual week last week. But I’m hoping this week will bring a whole other perspective and clarity on things.
Today, I registered for one of my favourite e-courses – Blogging Your Way with Holly Becker from Decor8. I’ve taken her course before, and cannot wait to see what the 2.0 edition will bring. Class begins on June 1st – so I’ll be learning, blogging and moving at the same time. I hope to see some of you there.
To end this post I’ll share with you a few of my favourite pictures from my week on Instagram. My two favourite little people in the world, Limfjorden on a sunny day and the best thing I did today BYW 2.0.

Before I left for Paris, I found a very inspiring home via hemnet. Being the String fan that I am, I noticed it right away.
Right now, I’m very interested in different arrangements with various String systems. I’m trying to decide wether or not to use a combination of String shelves in my daughter’s new room. But of course my eyes caught other beautiful solutions too.
I noticed other interesting solutions in this stylish home. I love the dominance of black and white, because it gives the home a relaxing feel to it. And it also makes the different interior objects stand out more. Did you notice the sliver apple and the pear in the window? The rack full of magazines, the tutu lamp or Vitra’s Utensilo?

It’s been almost a week since we got home from our wonderful trip toParis. I’ve been really busy all week so I haven’t had time to share any of my pictures with you guys.
Hopefully, I’ll get around to writing a mini guide soon. But in the meantime, let me just recommend jazz in Paris (do check out Duc des Lombards – and enjoy a fantastic night with what looked to be fantastic food (unfortunately, we’d eaten before we got there) and lovely cocktails combined with amazing jazz music. Paris sure is the place to fall in love, eat a lot of fantastic cakes and go mad in the beautiful Merci shop.

I still enjoy looking at other people’s pins on Pinterest. The funny thing is that some of my friends are actually joining in now. The same goes for my ongoing obsession Instagram. If you’re not already there, you should really join the fun.
Follow me on Pinterest here and on Instagram (@espressomoments) here and here.
I just cleaned out the table – had an early breakfast date with a bunch of lovely girls and their cute kids. My little man is sleeping now and my gal is out swimming with her dad. So it is quiet here.
We’ve cleaned out the attic, and gave a lot of old clothes and toys to Mødrehjælpen yesterday. Phew, now we can actually just move the stuff up there instead of having to look through a lot of old stuff. I also got my hair cut, and am now ready for a short week at work. I’ll be drinking my coffee in Paris pretty soon.
#1 Day 11 – This is where I eat my breakfast every day. Out current kitchen is quite dark, so I cannot wait to move into our new an bright kitchen.
#2 Day 12 – these are the stairs right outside our apartment door. I’ve walked up and down these stairs too many times, with and without kids and bags.
#3 Day 13 – I found these lamps in a magazine, and thought they would look cool as part of the interior of our new terrace.
#4 Dinner from Kim’s Kitchen and Cola fra Hamburg – pure bliss.
#5 Weekend entertainment. Movie night with my man. It’s a great way to “go out” without actually going out.
Have a lovely Sunday out there – I’ll be enjoying the sunny day with the kids this afternoon.
