Passing time with tape and nail polish. The tricky part is to sit still.

Emma´s room from Fixa Rummet

On the first season of Fixa Rummet, Isabelle and her team helped Emma get the room of her dreams and later I went there to photograph it.

They made a cosy nest in the celing by attaching a net on to the beams. You can climb the ladder to get up there or the use the stepping rocks on the blackboard.

An old lampshade painted to perfection.

And of course Ikea´s Ekorre.

They also made new covers for some old mattresses , perfect for slumber parties. And I love the wall -to-wall carpet.

A secret hiding place DIY

by Isabelle McAllister


Does this look like a normal cupboard to you? Well it’s not.
Or the cupboard actually is but there is something in there holding a secret. Can you spot it?


Since I can’t build a secret door in my apartment (you know you enter a bookshelf and get out in the garden) I had to do a second best thing and something my kids will love.


All you need is an old book and a sharp knife + some glue. Important to use a book with extreme quality.


Then you start to cut out a simple shape. Take some pages at the time, fold and then cut again. You professionals can even cut a hole in a shape like in the movies.



The just start to glue folks. Keep in mind that when you open the book the back will bend so close the book every once in a while to get it straight. You can even skip the glue but then your objects will fall out more easily.


- Oh my preeciouus (-you have to say this out loud – right now with a Gollum voice)
