DIY Bookcases for a baby girl

My friend Betina is soon having a little baby girl. They are living in a quite small apartment with almost no room, but is making some special furniture for Anika once she arrives.

Betina had bought bookcases of wood, 3 different types of paint – and a wood letter.. Being both in the world of graphic we of course discussed the different ways of painting the whole case, the back or the sides.

We covered the table in old newspaper and taped in the bookcases..

Some muffins and a walk later (2 times paint and dry) we ended up with this nice result:

I don’t think I’d normally half-paint like this, but I do like the effect, especially along with the colors. Really love the result and love doing DIY with my friends.

Cinnamon buns with apple

These days I am trying to break my addiction to sugar. However, that will not mean stop baking cakes (EVER)… I love cakes in any way, but making small adjustment for a healthier version, without compromising the taste of course, is a new fun way to experiment for me.

These cinnamon buns has a mixture of shredded apple and coconut oil inside – instead of loads of butter. Of course lots of cinnamon too – which I think must be one of my favorite spices in the world.

Even my very traditional-loving great grand mother did approve
