The one with Sherlock and happy socks

This post was meant to be published yesterday, but in between work and more work, I forgot. I've been slacking a bit in the blog department. My last DIY has been a while ago, and I can not remember the last time I did anything worth mentioning in the kitchen. DIY-ing was something on my to do list last weekend, but Sherlock kept me from it. I discovered this brilliant show last saturday evening, and watching this was kind of like the only thing that got done last weekend. Why did I not discover Sherlock sooner, and why are there only nine episodes? Besides couch potato-ing I did get some grocery shopping done, and I did treat myself to some happy looking socks. I am wearing a pair of these today :-) Have you treated yourself to something lately that made you smile?

The one with all the paintswatches

After four years of living in my apartment, a change of colours may be in order. The walls that are in need of a change are in the living room, and in the kitchen. Besides the curtains (picture number two), there isn't a lot of colour going on in my living room, so basically, any colour goes along with it. My kitchen is mostly white, so anything goes here as well. The swatch at the top right, is a metallic gold. I've never used metallics before, and I am curious about how a whole wall would look, my concern is that it might be too shiny. Painting is not something I'm particular fond of, so I do want to pick the right colour right away. The gold may be a big miss, but on the other hand, what if it's a big winner? Sometimes you need to talk some risks in life, but I don't know if those risks should involve paint! I am horrible at making decisions, so I'm in need of a bit of help. Do you have one or two favourites? Do you have any colourful walls around the house, or are you more of a neutrals fan?

The one with the things I liked this week, and the week before

Those sniffles turned into the flu, and most of my time was spent on my mothers couch. Together with blankets, hot water bottles, tea, fresh juices, and bowls of soup. Not much worth photographing was seen the beginning of this week, and the last half of the week before that. That´s why I combined those two weeks into one post. I hope the flu hasn´t found you, and you´re having a great weekend!

I should ask where my neighbours got their green thumbs :-)

Happy weekend!

The one with some online shopping

The problem with shopping for others (this month one of my friends' babygirl will celebrate her first birthday) is, that I happen to come across things I didn't know I needed in my life up until I came across them. I did find the perfect gift over at DaWanda (which is still a secret, the birthday hasn't been celebrated yet!), and these five goodes caught my eye. They are on my wishlist, but they might end up in my shopping cart one day! Did you discover any goodies lately? Indulged into some  actual shopping perhaps?

I already made this post yesterday, but forgot to hit the publish button. Today I woke up with a bad case of the sniffles, so maybe that was already simmering yesterday.... I'll leave home for a bit to celebrate friend L's birthday and then I'll go straight back to bed with a cup of tea and a book. I've really had enough of all the cold we've been having lately and the snow we had last week. I am ready for spring. Hope the sniffles haven't found you, and that you're having a great weekend so far.

The one with some music for your tuesday

Here are some tunes I've been listing to lately. The first video was a discovery through Grey's Anatomy, they always pick out the best songs. One of the reason I love this show! The second video is by Belgian band Oscar and the Wolf, I got tickets for their show in april. Hope there's something in here you'll like. If you feel like sharing, let me know what you've been listening to lately in the comments below.
