Some images just makes you inspired. This is one of them. A green walkway, just makes you want to take off your shoes and run on it, doesn’t it? It looks like this is from a art project/installation in France. The walkway goes all the way through a small village. The site where I found it Gaelle Villedary is only in french, so I don’t understand much of it. But I think we all can agree on that this is a beautiful concept. Photo by David Monjou.
A trend for 2012 is more bright colors and IKEA have also focused on this. These are their new summer collection (in sale week 12) Love the bright pink and yellow. So vibrant and the balcony interior is just asking to be enjoyed with a cold cocktail. This colorful series are ROXÖ and JOSEF and the plastic lounge chair is PS VÅGO.

Hvem ville vel ikke hatt en slik frodig grønn vegg innendørs? Vertikale hager som dette er et flott tilskudd i butikker og kontorlokaler. Det er utrolig hva levende organismer gjør for et miljø. Og hagen står i nydelig kontrast til de ellers så minimalistiske linjene. Alle disse bildene er fra et firma som heter Vertical Garden Design. Firmaet ble startet av den svenske landskapsarkitekten Michael Hellgren. Dette er hva de skriver på deres nettsted om konseptet:
Who wouldn’t love to have a “green” indoor wall like this? Vertical Gardens is such a great addition to shops and office interior. It’s amazing what living organisms as this can do to a space. The gardens stand in great contrast to the minimalistic architecture. All these images are from a company called Vertical Garden Design. The company was started by the Swedish landscape architect, Michael Hellgren. This is what they write on their site about the concept:
“GROWING PLANTS ON A VERTICAL SURFACE HAS BEEN POSSIBLE AFTER STUDIES OF NATURAL VERTICAL LOCATIONS — PLACES WITHOUT SOIL WHERE IN NATURE THERE MAY BE A GREAT ABUNDANCE OF PLANT SPECIES. THE TECHNIQUE IMITATES THESE LOCATIONS, SO IT ALSO FUNCTION WITHOUT SOIL, HAVING THE BENEFITS OF MAKING THE SURFACE VERY LIGHT AND EASY TO TAILOR TO ANY GEOMETRY.“
I gjenbruksånd så har vi samlet sammen bilder som viser hvordan du kan bruke gamle gjenstander og plante blomster i. Her er det ikke mangel på kreativitet og det gir bokstavelig talt nytt liv til gamle ting. Mange av linkene viser til hvordan du kan lage feks en vertikal hage av en palle! God sommer dere og kos dere med plantingen!
In the spirit of re-using and DIY we have gathered together images showing how to use old artifacts as planters. There is no lack of creativity and it literally gives new life to old things. Many of the links underneath will guide you through how you can create for example a vertical garden of a pallet! Happy summer to you all and enjoy yourselves with the planting!

Vinteren holder fortsatt et fast grep her i nord, og det er lenge til våren. Noe av det jeg synes er hyggeligst i en hage både vinter som sommer er besøk av småfugler. Og hvordan bedre invitere dem på besøk enn med disse lekre fuglebrett alternativene fra danske Eva Solo.

Det er jo litt sent å så frø for denne sessongen, men det skader jo ikke å få litt inspirasjon på hva og hvordan man kan pynte opp både hjem og balkong til neste år. Her er noen godbiter som vi kan glede oss til neste sessong.
Disse utrolige vakre frøposene fra The Balcony Gardener er utrolige fine. Hvorfor ikke kjøpe et sett med 12 og gi i gave til noen med grønne fingre? Nettsiden har også masse andre fine ting.
Hvorfor ikke så frø i gamle tebokser? Genialt og dekorativt. Funnet via bloggen Husligheter.
Putt løker og urter i glassgrukker, utrolig stilig. Funnet via BlackEiffel.

Utnytt plassen på balkongen. Dette søte produktet kan skape grillstemning selv på den minste balkong. Til festen kan man la gjestene grille marshmallows, eller ha pølsefest. Når den ikke er i bruk kan man sette på lokket og for eksempel pynte den med blomster. Den kan kjøpes online på Designdelicatessen
