Comments (7)Your plant is kalanchoe blossfeldiana. It will naturally bloom in late winter/early spring. Growers manipulate the amount of light at other times to cause it to bloom. They know we're much more likely to buy a blooming plant. It comes in many colors....See MoreReally pretty house, great designer
Comments (18)I hear ya Spingroz! I currently have one of my daughter's eventing saddles on its stand in my dining room...for those of you who don't do equestrian chic, my tack room developed a leak and for what we paid for this saddle I could buy a nice leather sofa. So it in the house....See More1970s Norwegian hillside House - Exterior Paint Ideas?
Comments (4)Thank all of you for the thoughts. I am not a huge fan of the flat grays that are so popular right now, because I think it's a 'trendy' color that will look dead and flat in a few years (because it is), and people will start repainting away from that in a hurry. I like the idea of red with white trim, but since we live in Norway, literally every third house here is a beautiful red with white trim (and it's gorgeous but I am not sure I want to be yet another one of those red-and-white houses). We are Swedish ourselves, so I've considered a sunny yellow with white trim (the yellow is pretty popular in Sweden). However, I also love green (some interior spaces are going to be happy rich greens when we are done with it), and purple, so that bears thinking. The white-with-blue-trim idea may work with a different-colored front door (red?), but I am not sure how well blue works with green. Since the house has such a lovely architecture (in effect, it has 4 levels inside), I also don't want to overload it with colors though, since that may make it look too busy. And yes, definitely hiring professionals, since it sits built into a slope on a mountainside, and trying to paint that ourselves is a plain recipe for disaster....See MoreButternut
