Creepy Crawlies

Nee, ik moet er ook niet aan denken dat ze in legioenen hier in ons huis aanwezig zijn. Dat ze over het aanrecht kruipen of langs mijn hoofd zoeven. Maar ik vind ze inspirerend. En wanneer ze onder de loep worden genomen bij van die natuurprogramma's, sta ik er versteld van hoe ijverig ze zijn. Insekten! In huis vooral leuk op posters, printjes op servies en allerlei ander leuks. :D

It would be kind of a nightmare to have loads of them in your home. To see them crawl over the sink and have them whizzing close to your ear. But still, I find them inspiring. And when you're able to have a closer look during a nature program, I'm surprised how eager they are. Insects! Indoors appreciated on posters, coffeecup prints and other lovely items. :D

The wonderful world of washi tape

Many of us just love it or are even addicted. You just NEED to buy more, more colours or more prints. Washi tape: I must admit, I'm crazy about it too. You can stick it anywhere and can get rid of it just as easy. Below some inspiration I took from Apartment Therapy and a few of my own washi tape creations. 

New ideas for the living room

Since I decided to give the living room an industrial feel I have loads of new ideas. None of them are really finished yet apart from the coffee table but it's just so much fun to create something new. For instance we ordered four vintage toolboxes where we can store the magazines, doggy blankets and what not. It gives that space an instant cooler look. And on one wall there was only a clock there and I was being playful with masking tape, so I came up with the idea to make a bulletin board. I only just started as you can see. There's loads of room left for colourful and fun pictures and posters. So whenever I bump into something cute in shops or magazines, I can stick it there. Fun fun!

Before & Afters

Today I've been changing a few things at our place. I told about wanting to bring in some more colour here. And that I was sick and tired of the B&W pictures in the frames. Bit by bit we are changing those. My boyfriend knows his way round the Macbook and printers, so he made me some gorgeous COLOURED vintage posters...yay! We used to have a London map hanging above the piano. And even though that's still one of my fave cities and it's not even a B&W poster, I wanted to get rid of it. Instead we put a vintage one up and I love it. And check the difference in the stairway...

I also put some different stuff in the printers drawer. I think it looks more summery this way. When the sun doesn't shine outside, you must bring it in right?!

Black & White versus Colour

When we walk up the stairs towards our second floor, there's this rim where we can put all sort of things. At the moment we have two framed pictures of M.C. Escher standing there. 

But I like to change it into something colourful as I sort of had it with the B&W, for now. So I started to check out AllPosters and found some pretty posters with lots of colour. Now see what boyfriend thinks of those. Though he always lets me do my thing, I like to hear his opinion... <3
