The sun is out and the days are getting milder and there’s a promise of spring in the air even with all the snow we still have. I’ve been looking around our home, thinking about making little changes to welcome the new season. But looking at these pictures I realize that our home has been in spring colors for many months now, I guess it’s no wonder that my favorite colors reflect my favorite season.
Today is the first day of my week long winter break from school. I have no big plans, only a pile of books from the library. Couldn’t think of a better way to spend the week! I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather for the past few days so a couple of quiet days at home sound perfect.
Thank you Katie for featuring our art wall on your blog and a big thank you to Klikk.no for including Nestled In on their list of best interior blogs!
We’ve paid a couple of blog visits earlier but now we’re going to make them a more regular thing over here at Nestled In. Every once in a while we’ll visit the home of someone whose style we admire and learn a bit more about them and their home. Today we get to peek inside Katrin’s beautiful home in Austria. Katrin has just started a blog called Taking Notes and you can also find more pictures of her home at Flickr. We asked Katrin a few questions about her home, here is what she said:
Where do you live? Me, my husband and cats Marlene and Lulu live in a small house with a large garden in Vienna, Austria.
What are your favorite and least favorite things about your home? The favorite thing about my home is the light we get through the many windows we have. The least favorite is the very tiny and hideous bathroom.
If you could add one extra room to your home, what would it be? Oh, definitely a dining room. We only have a small kitchen table which seats 3 so that we can never have friends over for dinner (except for barbecues in summer). I´d love to have a beautiful large dining table and something where I could store all the extra dinnerware which currently resides in our basement.
What is your favorite thing to do at home? Decorating and gardening. At this point I actually feel my house is “done” decoration-wise but I still manage to find some projects around :)
Where do you find inspiration? I´m inspired mostly by blogs, Flickr, magazines and nature.
Home is where… I can truly relax, and for this I need some of my favorite things and my little family around me. For me it´s not a question of “where” but more of “how”. Does that make sense?
Thank you so much Katrin for welcoming us into your home!

March is here and for me that means that it’s time to start looking forward to spring. Outside it’s still snowy and white but the bright spring colors in our kitchen make the wait a bit easier. It’s been a really nice winter but now I’m looking for the first signs of spring and for the first green to appear in nature after so many months. Until then I’m enjoying the potted herbs we bought for the kitchen, they’re such an easy and inexpensive way to bring a bit of green inside.
