wallpaper
Hi darlings, I've been missing in action for a while, everyday when I saw something cool on Pinterest I would make a mental note about a blog post and then cry inside I don't have time for it. The only thing that's keeping me sane right now is the trip to Croatia I have planned in 3 weeks. CANT.FREAKING.WAIT. So anyway I am back and this lovely bedroom caught my eye, especially the wallpaper covering the wall behind the bed, it's quiet dark but doesn't bring the room down, it actually does the opposite and adds fun and texture. I am guessing there is a lot of good natural light in there, lucky! The brass accessories are also right up my alley, this gold trunk is soooo cool!!
Wallpaper. You can love it on hate it. Well I chose to love it!
Some may find it cheap and not durable, made to last for a little while and then be replaced.
Fair enough, although unless we want like to create an actual art piece on the walls, wallpapers are the easiest way to completely change the space and add more life to it.
I love it most in powder rooms with bold, big patterns and paired with more subtle walls in living spaces.
How do you like them? Or maybe not at all? Would love to hear your thoughts!
Few examples to help you make the decision below!

And my favs from all aroud the web!
I read "Who are the most interesting&important young British designers" list on Apartment Therapy yesterday, dig a little and found those beautiful hand-drawn and printed wallpapers by Camilla Maijer. I love the harmony between the intense colors and flower prints and how it look fresh and modern with a little vintage touch. I like the mix between modern vintage, new and old and those place just in the middle. I would love to use them in the nursery, powder room or the entry.
If you also like them, they are available to order here! xx
As I already told you I recently moved to my first apartment that I rent on my OWN!
I have to say that I was pretty happy to find it, because it's in the good location and close to my family, but it needed some work done!
The apartment is rented so I think nobody really took care of the decoration before, but I decided to give it a fresh touch. It's not really mine do I decided not to spend a lot of money on it , just a minimum budget to make it look nice and modern.
The first thing I took care of was the entry way. It was covered in a horrible, ORANGE (grrr) wallpaper and I just HAD to remove it!!
So with a great help of my boyfriend, I changed the wallpaper for a new one.
I have to admit that the worst part was actually to take out the old wallpaper (turned out there was more that one layer-What the heck??)

I didn't have the hot water machine to do it so I just used this:
You mix it with water and put on the existing wallpaper and wait and after some time the wallpaper comes off really easily.
To put a new wallpaper you will need:
the wallpaper
the glue
tools kit
So this is how my entry way looked before:
You can't really see the colour of it, but it really was orange and look old and not nice AT ALL.
So I got to work..
I decided to go with this white-beige wallpaper with motifs and the
grey-shiny one.
The Ikea lampshade
Anddddd... Tadammmm
What do you think??
