Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: creative work space

Having enough trouble getting started as it is, a depressing home office would make me even lazier than I already am. That's why I love bright, iniviting work spaces that actually would make you want to sit there and work/study etc.

In our new apartment we have a separate room for my desk and my sisters sewing machine and I collected the images below as decoration inspiration.

An inspiration board filled with pictures, motivational quotes and curiosities is an absolute necessity for me. You'll notice that there is an inspiration board/wall of some kind in every office picture I've collected.

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: modified ikea lamp

It’s Wednesday again so this means I’ll be sharing new interior decoration ideas with you. I’m still in the process of settling in and having everything sorted but I already feel at home in our new apartment. In this post I’d like to share with you a do-it-yourself idea my sister did for her new room. Click here to find the instructions on how to do it (Design*Sponge has sooo many more, great source of inspiration for the crafty ones).

Lilly, our cat, always wants to "help" when my sister gets crafty but obviously I’m no help at all. I have even trouble cutting out felt circles... But I’ll make it up in the kitchen, I swear!

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: Jessica Stam's apartment

"In her own words, Stam is "always redecorating" and, every time she is in New York, she stops by Flair in SoHo to see the store's latest selections of antique furniture that she may like. "My apartment will never be done", she says."

Everything can change

I sort of wish this was a regular Sunday for me but alas it isn't. I have been sick at home for nearly a week now and the fact that the whole apartment is clustered with boxes doesn't make it more bearable. Tomorrow we'll be moving to our new apartment and I have some serious catching up to do with Uni work. Meanwhile you might have to wait a little longer for self shot photos, outfits posts and such but I will schedule some new posts to tide over. I'll do my very best to return soon!

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: shabby chic china cupboard

A while ago my sister and I picked up a cupboard off the street that some neighbour through out. On the first glance you could see why, it was an ugly brown wood cupboard with wooden knobs but we saw that it had potential and dragged it up to our apartment. Maybe you have already noticed that we have some pretty vintage china my sister recently started to collect (shown here, here and here). Inspired by shabby chic interior decoration style we set out to make this cupboard pretty again, meaning we painted it in glossy white, replaced the old knobs and as a finishing touch covered the insides with vintage looking Paris themed paper.

On a side note, our move is less than a week away!!!

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: Frames

I plan on going frame shopping this evening so I thought I'd share what I have in mind for my place. Since I want most of the rooms to be very bright I think adding darker framed pictures add a nice contrast. Also I want to replace all the gold hues in my current apartment with some cool silver shades!

The Blogs & Coffee print above is from MadebyGirl and probably every blogger out there (or every avid blog reader) totally get the idea. I want a smaller print for my desk but I'm afraid it will keep me from working on my master thesis and make me get another cup of coffee and browse bloglovin'! ^^

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: acrylic chairs

I remember MiJi expressing her love for acrylic chairs in an older post. Well, I only recently discovered mine going through all the decoration blogs out there. What I love most about them is the unexpected effect and how they can be combined with other materials creating all sorts of styles.

Obviously I couldn't afford a ghost chair by Phillip Starck (most of the ones in the pictures are designed by him) but on a recent shopping spree my sister and I came across and incredible sale and scored six transparent chairs. ^^ Can't wait to see what they will look like in our new place!

What do you think of transparent chairs?

Wednesday's Interior Decoration Inspiration: Bedrooms

In about a month I will move into a new apartment and I'm currently obssessed with interior decoration blogs to get some inspiration. I've decided to share with you some images I saved in a weekly post. This Wednesday I've chosen bedrooms. I want mine to be mostly white because I think it creates a wonderfully calming place, exactly what a bedroom is supposed to be in my opinion. Below are some of my favorites:

These days I'm really into furry rugs on hardwood floors. This example also shows that white isn't just white; using ivory, cream, antique white, and pale beige in different textures can add dimension to a room.

Mint has always been one of my favorite colors and I'd definitely like to incorporate it into my own bedroom as well.

A touch of black can also add lots of chicness to an otherwise white bedroom.

Girliness at its best.

Why not use a crate as a bedside table?

This branch clothing rack is a great DIY and definitely something I'll try to do as well.
