home design inspiration: bedrooms

Hello!

Thank you so much for your comments on my last post, just want to let you know that everything's okay with my boyfriend. We're always able to make peace again, no worries.

My move to Australia is drawing nearer (hopefully I'll fly over in October) and I've been anticipating a completely new place to live in with Jarryd. We've been looking through the online house listings for rental houses together and now that I know what Australian houses are like I can start to dream of how to arrange everything inside.

As I'm a Pinterest addict I of course have my own pinboard for anything interior over there and today I picked out the loveliest bedrooms to feed the inspiration and share them with you.

One disappointment is that we won't be allowed to put anything on the walls with nails, so instead of hanging up pictures or other things I will have to find an alternative. I'll figure that out in the course of the next months...

By the way the pics are all taken from my Pinterest Home Design Inspiration board and if you click them they will lead you to their original source.

As you can see I'm a big fan of white, light colours and warm brown wood and leather to make a room look cozy. I like it clean and simple with colourful eyecatchers to add some personality. What's also important is a good balance of old and new pieces to make it contemporary but personal and charming.

What do you think? How do you like this style?

Happy Friday!

wish list for the apartment: living room/bedroom

Hi guys!

I've been living in my new apartment for a while now, but you know how it is after moving to a new place - there's always something you still don't have and that needs to be bought to make a room complete.

I got all the basic furniture I need, like a bed, a kitchen, a desk etc. but there are still furniture wishes that got lost along the way in the course of the past months due to a lack of money and the problem of not having a car to transport heavier pieces.

Also there are certain things, e.g. my dining table and chairs, that I brought from the old home but don't really like anymore, so I plan on replacing them as soon as possible. Oh well, never really content with what you have, I guess it's just the nature of mankind, right?

Anyway, here is a little wish list and collection of inspiration for how I want my apartment to be in the future. It will be a big project as a whole, but I hope I'll manage to get closer to my ideal step by step in the course of this year. 

Btw if you'd like to see some impressions of my living room/bedroom visit this post.

I like it cozy and rustic mixed with modern, playful and colourful. My biggest wish is a big and comfy brown leather armchair or sofa to go with the vintage cocktail chair I already bought via Ebay. It would be great to have a little "living room corner" as my bedroom is also my office and living room at the same time too. I need more seatings because at the moment I can either offer my guests only the bed to sit on (which can be quite awkward with some guests...) or I have to stay in the kitchen with them.

For the rustic touch I'd love to have one of these tables made out of a wine box and for the coziness some cute pillows and a knit plaid.

Not a must, but a bonus would be a beautiful new lamp and some nice prints or paintings for the walls.

Furthermore I found some awesome DIY projects that I'd love to try out soon. I'm not good at crafting, but maybe it will get better with a little practicing?

Here is a little collection of my favourite DIYs from Pinterest, which all happen to be light-related:

// cloud lights // tuna can tea lights // bottle night light // light bulb vases //

Have a lovely day everyone!

new home: bedroom/living room

Hi guys!

Remember I moved to a new apartment in November? And remember how I promised to show you some photos of it? Well it took me two months to settle down and get everything in the right place an all. Now I finally managed to take some photos so you have a few impressions of my bedroom/living room. Here we go!

The two lovely collages on my wall were a gift. I won them in a giveaway at the blog Daria's Collages last year and have been loving them ever since because they are such cool eye-catchers.

The wooden horses are a fleamarket find and they watch over my CDs now.

The jewelry tree is for the necklaces, the little treasure chest is for the rings and brooches.

I love matryoshkas and I had quite a collection. But as I have less space for decoration in my new apartment I only put the prettiest ones on the shelf.

My amazing vintage armchair from Ebay. I spray-painted the feet golden which looks so cool with this shade of brown.

A peek into a part of my wardrobe. Now my clothes have a home again, woohoo! :)

Have a lovely day!
