My bedroom makeover plans, pt. one

-


For a long time I couldn´t find my style when it comes to my personal space and filling it with pieces of furniture and decorations I love. From the start, I knew I´ve always loved pictures, paintings, photos and frames of different shapes and sizes hanging on the wall. I also knew I coudln´t live without fairy lights. Fairy lights are life, if you didn´t know. Also, I have always loved natural materials like raw wood, cotton and bright colours. Also, rugs.... rugs make the space more cose and homey.

My sister is getting married next week and she is moving house with her soon-to-be husband so there is lots of space to work with. Don´t get me wrong, I am not happy that she is going to live somewhere else, what what can you do, when the two are head over heels with each other. So the makeover is something like a coping therapy for me to live alone after two years of living with her after my return from Germany.

How would I describe my personal taste? Princess – Fairy – Boho – Oldfashioned – mess ...After a long time spent on pinterest, this is the closest picture to what I am into:


So as you can see, I am worrking pretty much with an IKEA catalogue picture. I love the look of natural materals and I already own many of the pieces, like the floor mirror, blankets, pillowa, the bedside table and the mess.. the lovely mess which I am perfect at. 
I am planning to buy the Gjöra bed next week and I will use the high front of the bed to my benefit; as a tool to devide the space into bedroom and a lounging area. 
However, I am not going to work with so much white. I got gifted a ginormous can of a silver wall colour, so I am going to use it to create an accent wall. The opposite wall is going to be covered with a white brick-textured wallpaper, where I am planning to create a gallery wall from all my favourite posters, paintings and framed pictures. To break the white and the grey, I want to purchase the most beautiful armchair I´ve ever seen, an emerald green armchair from Ikea. Here´s the pic I snapped last week:

I have this gorgeous floor lamp which I am going to put next to the armchair to create the most beautiful reading area for the bookworm I am. 

So these are my plans so far, I am in love with all the ideas. There´s going to be an update next week as soon as I get hold of the bed. 

Until next time,
See you, Lenka :)

Another art-related ramble.

A few weeks ago, I talked about how drawing, painting or just doodling mindlessly is a great psycho hygiene for me. It helps me calm down my thoughts and shut down my brain for a while, just like meditation would. It started with a printing paper and markers from my local supermarket. Just the combination of the two made me happy. Then I started watching videos of other people drawing and I saw these double-ended alcohol-based markers that didn´t leave all those nasty unaesthetic streaks that the cheap markers always did. I was amazed, shocked, in love. Of course, my first way led me to my computer; I started searching for the markers and of course I found them… aaand I also saw their price, which wasn´t so lovable. I wasn´t very eager to buy something so expensive to use only as a hobby. So, I let it go. But then, couple of days later, I talked to a friend who draws illustrations professionally. He told me that the expensive markers are amazing, but they are not the only optio...

Skincare that doesn´t break your bank.

  I am a firm believer of the idea that makeup is there to cover anything we don´t want others to see, however, why cover something if we can work some skincare magic so there´s nothing to cover? I got this idea from one of my favourite French women Violette_fr and once I jumped on the skincare wagon, there was no turning back. Saying this, I do love me some lotions, serums or toners... However, I don´t really opt for all those steps and extensive routines that I see some of the other women do, nor do I buy all the overpriced product that are presented to me on social media. Not that I don´t treat myself to something special from time to time... But I took time and found out what really works for me and let me tell you, majority of the products are from my local drugstore and I swear by them! And, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to introduce them to you right this second: CLEANSING: Of course, when preparing for the bed time you have to start with wiping a...

2017 recap and resolutions I am not going to keep in 2018

Happy New Year everyone! The time has come to sum up everything that happened (and didn´t happen) during the past 365 days.  Time runs wild, everything changes from one day to another and we are here to witness it all. So let me tell you about my 365 days of 2017.  Actually, I had the roughest start to the year. The holidays went past faster than I anticipated and it was time to return to school. Don´t get me wrong, I loved my school; well, apart from the one professor that was determined to turn my life into a living hell. Oh, yes, I get it, it all sounds exactly like the sentence a lazy student would say. But that´s not my case. Well not since I started my Masters. The thing is, she just found a good reason to embarrass me and almost insult me in front of my classmates on my presentation day just because I was known to hate the subject she was teaching. It was the worst feeling, having just been turned into a little nothing in front of other people by someone I was...
