Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there was a girl who decided to start blogging about her passion in life. She felt very excited and was really looking foward to share her interest for design, home decor, architecture and renovation projects with the rest of the world.

Unfortunately her efforts did not seem to pay off very well and after several months with no feedback from the rest of the blogging world she decided to give it up and put 'Komma hem' to rest for a while...

Blogging had become very emotional and maybe it was not such a good idea after all. Instead she decided to put all of her focus on the renovation of her home...

During spring 2010 she couldn´t resist to make a little post about something and in June something suddenly happened!
She started to reach out to new readers and let me tell you, those were not just any readers...

Suddenly she had a range of successful blogging girls whom became loyal followers, leaving loving and supportive comments...

And the rest is history...
Ever since some truly amazing people has entered my life and my blog has slowly started to attach new readers. I appriciate each and every one of you and feel so grateful for your support during the year!

I love design in all areas and blogging gives me the opportunity to devote my time and passion into something I really love. All thanks to 'The fabolous 4- Charlotta, Mon, Stacey and Sue.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

During 2010 I was really struggling to find my own personal style and went on a very interesting journey.

Movie inspiration
I often find interior design inspiration in movies. Re-watching the movie 'Out of Africa' made me thrilled over both the life of Karen Blixen and her colonial inspired home.
'The September Issue' and 'Psycho'(re-watched this one as well) became other great sources of interior design inspiration this year.

5.
More Awards
In October I received my second Blog Award from lovely Stacey.
Again I felt chosen, proud, happy and grateful.
Thank you so much!

My first design piece

In the year of 2010 I bought my very first real designer classic- The wassily chair designed by Marcel Breuer. Furniture created by great designers of the 20th centrury has a very special place in my heart and I feel so proud of this one.
