House Monday #1

Life has been so hectic recently so apologies for the long delay. Monday night updates when impossible with a sick kid but i have been on pinterst quite a lot and now that our kitchen is done i thought of sharing some of the kitchens that inspired me.

Our main concern was using the same units but in a different space so since out units where from birch i had to look at wooden kitchen. Our second challenge was that not making a kitchen that looks like a sauna which is always the risk if you have wooden floors and units. The kitchens here prove that there are many ways of doing it. Here it goes!

Images on this post are all found on Pinterest.

Redecorating our bedroom (Part 1)


I have recently started my maternity leave and being in the house all the time I have been thinking about redecorating it so I started looking around for inspiration. I found two amazing books by Sibella Court* that make a good read!

They are full of amazing ideas. Nomad focuses on the principle of carrying your trips imaginary or not with you in the space that you live. Anyone who has been to my house knows it is all about travelling, found items, gifts and things acquired in markets around the world.

Our bedroom

The main project was the baby room. We have a two bedroom house and we needed to create some space for our baby. The spare bedroom has ended up being an extension of our bedroom so after emptying it to create the nursery, we realised we needed more space in our bedroom. So the project wardrobe began!

Wardrobe

We researched for a long while a nice way of building a wardrobe. The plan was to extend the current wardrobe and extend it along the main wall facing the bed. The problem we had was that we did not actually like wardrobes! Then I came across the images below and then idea of using the wardrobe as a canvas was born.

I am not sure vinyl stickers can work on the wardrobe so i decided to stencil it! My main ambition now is to create a stencil of a cherry tree. Watch this space for more updates!
