On my sunny stroll through Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen last Sunday, I paid a visit to gallery Fineart. Specialising in contemporary art, they run a well curated gallery as well as publishing the monthly magazine Kunst. By subscribing to Kunst you receive a discount on all their artwork, frames included. This is a great deal that I’ve […]
A few days ago, a friend and I explored the grounds of Akershus Festning/Fortress in Oslo. This is a 700 year old city centre fortress, built on the top of a hill by the bay, overlooking the sea. Aker Brygge and Oslo City Hall are its nearest neighbours. I can just imagine how they used […]
The cool artwork on the doors of the jazz club BLÅ If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that I’ve been a busy woman about town lately. I’m at a really good place in my life and while I’m spending my days searching for my dream job, my evenings and weekends are […]
{1} Taco Republica Last Saturday I was treated to a wonderful dinner at Taco Republica, my absolute favourite restaurant in Oslo. I had a wonderful time, blissfully unaware that this would be the last date with Mr B. But when one door closes, another one opens up, right?! Now, pardon me while I go looking for […]
Toasting my first visitor welcome! As I mentioned before, I had my first visitor in my new flat this weekend – my close friend Å from Bergen. To show her what a great place Oslo is with me in it, I had lots of activities planned for the weekend. After having dropped off her luggage […]
Yesterday, I finally finished redecorating the flat and today I can start to get things in order. While I wait for my huge order from Ikea to arrive, with extra wardrobes for the hallway and glass cabinets for the kitchen, I’ll be busy furnishing the livingroom. I have a rough idea of where I want […]
Admiring the new floor in my entrance hall I took ownership of my new flat in Oslo on July 14th and moved in on the 22nd. Since then, I’ve been busy getting the place decorated and organised. I’ve also had to buy some new furniture, including downsizing some things to fit the smaller space. As you […]
Moving from a two bedroom flat into a one bedroom that is over 20 m2 smaller in size, has given me some serious headache. The reason for my discomfort – in addition to bumping into things – is that I own too much stuff. It simply won’t all fit into my new residence! Unfortunately, I belong […]

Nelly is checking out my paint job in the bedroom. She wasn’t allowed in, as she is currently shedding like a vintage fur! {1} I live in Oslo! I can’t believe that I actually live here now and have a postal address to prove it! Though only the bedroom and bathroom are in order yet, […]
