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!

Vintage bookshelf wallpaper

Just when you think someone must be really clever owning this many books, take a closer look as you might be fooled.
How cool is this?! Vintage bookshelf wallpaper! You can order yours from Graham & Green. A wonderful English company with loads of gorgeous and fun stuff. Must plan a trip to my fave ever city London soon....

Coffee table make over

A few weeks ago I wrote that I wanted our living room to have a few hints of the industrial style. I'm no where ready yet, but made a few starts. Like with the coffee table. At first we removed the legs and replaced them with casters. But I didn't like the colour of the wood anymore, so we sandpapered it. I really like the result and so there's no need of buying a new table. :P

Natural simplicity

Got very inspired again today. This time by these lovely pictures below. Even though I'm more into colour and a more "crowded" home, I really do like this as well. The first picture is my fave. What is yours?

Picture of bliss

Ever since I went to Paris with my loved one last summer, I need to sigh when I see a picture of that very city. We had so much fun and I love to go back there again in the near future. But wow, what it must be like to have a view like this from your home....
