Our Bedroom

Finally *drum roll please* 

I finished...

painting

furnishing

cleaning

and sewing and hanging stuff 

(in) (for) the bedroom.

Wanna see the results?

Originally I wanted to paint the walls peacock blue. Yep, I knew it was risky but I also originally planned on keeping every thing else in the shades of white with some natural wooden items thrown in.

Then I had a talk with a shop assistent at the store who told me those bold colors aint gonna happen with mineral colors. So I chose to go with charming lilac. But as you can see the final choice was white. And green. Originally I even wanted to paint one wall mustard and the other ones white but since it's the bedroom and my boyfriend insisted on deciding on a more calming relaxing color I had to come up with a way to incorporate some green/mustard eye-catchers. Hence the colorful triangles.

The curtains were made by me. I just cut some bed sheets from IKEA (I liked the pattern) and sewed it into a curtain. Which was a heck of a lot work. But it definitely paid off. I like the mix of the white-and-red curtains with the green-mustard-triangle wall.

The pictures are also made by me except the one on the very right. It pictures Bob Dylan during The Rolling Thunder Review which was a tour he did. The piece of art in the middle was painted by me in 5 minutes. It says "GO TO BED YOUNG DREAMER" on a background of mintgreen and rose swirls.

The one on the left is a painting I made a few months ago. I will post about it soon.

I especially love the wreath. It adds a totally different vibe to the wall and is a great contrast to the frames. The artwork in between are some carvings of my great-grandpa I found at my granma's house.

The old record player is a contribution from my boyfriend's grandpa. And the reason I love it so much is because I can listen to the LPs I chose to every stinkin' time I want (because it's in the bedroom since my boyfriend is a busy bee and otherwise would get distracted) - plus I can be lazy laying in bed listening to the birds tweeting outside my window.

Out of all the rooms in our appartment I think it's my favourite. 

Especially since I put more work into it then I did with the other ones. 

Which basically means that during the day 

I can practically call it my own.
