November is here and it’s high time to start thinking about this year’s advent calendar. Weirdly, my children haven’t really gotten into advent calendars before (probably because none of the ones we’ve had have involved sweets), so I’m not sure what we’ll do this year. But I came across this simple calendar from Granit that I think is all sorts of lovely. Maybe maybe!
I love how you can personalise it yourself, using paint or other decorations. And I love that it will last forever.
I love the look of leather drawer pulls and handles. There are so many great examples out there and I’m looking for somewhere in our home where I could put these in. Maybe on the daybed in my office/guest room?
Working with leather is such a satisfactory feeling too (we had such a good time making these leather key chains). And I love that you can make drawer pulls and handles out of up-cycled leather scraps – what a great way to make use of a thrift store belt!
Have a look at all these great ways to use leather pulls and handles around your home – and at the bottom there is a link to a good DIY tutorial.
Such a great way to make a simple end table into a perfect bedside table. I love the sea glass colour too!
I love everything about this IKEA hack by IKEA Hemma!
Dark leather pulls in this perfect grey kitchen (the whole apartment is gorgeous).
A few weeks ago, when pre-school was closed for a day, my friend Marie brought her two smallest kids over and we spent some time in the studio making these lovely little leather keychains.
Marie’s daughter Edith is in Louis’ group at pre-school (he calls her “Little Edith” since there are two Ediths in their group) and the two of them had such a good time working with the leather in this project. And they were so proud of their finished key chains – which looked so sweet on their little Kånken backpacks!
It was a bit of work to get the hole punched through the leather, but the steps were simple: Cut the leather into a strip. Pull the leather through the key chain ring. Fold the leather around the ring. Make a hole through the leather. Add the little metal rivet and screw it together.
Marie actually sells these key chains (and you can get them personalised with your child’s name) here. And if you don’t follow her already – check out Marie’s instagram here. It’s lovely.
