New details at home

I’ve recently added some new details at home. Not expensive, just nice ones, that I found at Ikea. (And no, this post is NOT sponsored by Ikea. I actually do not have ANY sponsors for my blog – I just blog for the fun of it).

One is a hallway clock (SEK79), pattern designed by Olle Eksell. He is the designer that made that famous poster with the Mazetti eyes on which you see everywhere in interior design. Ikea has made several items that use Olle Eksells figures and designs.

I think it is a fun clock. Not that easy maybe to see what the time is, but… it is decorative.

At first I intended to hang the clock in the bedroom, but it turned out that it ticks. Loudly. So couldn’t have it there. Looks good here in the hallway though I think. And here I hardly notice the ticking. (Gustav, the neighbor cat, noticed it though the other day when he was visiting).

I also got myself two new pillows with patterns by the same Olle Eksell. Just love those figures. I alos love the price, SEK39 a piece is really cheap.

The black and white one sits perfectly together with my other black and white Ikea-pillows in the chaiselongue.

Also got a colored pillow with his match-stick pattern. Presently placed that in the livingroom sofa. I like that pattern.

There are plenty more products with Olle Eksell patterns at Ikea. Some of them I like, some not. Those with green and orange colors… I don’t like those as I am no fan of green and orange in my home. I do like the match-stick posters, but I don’t know where I would be able to put them if I bought them.

My kitchen wall-clock died

Today at 09:55 my kitchen wall-clock just died. I was rearranging the decorations on the kitchen wall after having removed the Billy cupboard the other day. When I put the clock back up on the wall I noticed it was dead. Tried various batteries to no avail. Came to the conclusion that it was the clockwork that had died.

Some say you can fix it by getting a new clockwork. I have disassembled it and I really doubt I will be able to get it to work again even if I did get a new clockwork.

I’ve always loved this clock. It is 31 cms in diameter and has very clear numbers. You see the time in just a glance also on a distance. It has served me well for several years.

Now I need to find a new wall-clock. It is harder than you might think. Most clocks have such ugly typography… And I want it simple like this one, but good quality and not too expensive. And not in plastic… This one is metal and glass.
