Because I'm too lazy to write a post..

..and because it's so funny!



Swedish summer- I want you back!

Just a few pics from our recent European holidays. I don't really have any good photos on my phone, which reminds me I have to sort through all the photos on my slr.

I can't wait until next summer when we can go back.

I love this dress...

...from Max and Cleo.

Can someone please get engaged or married or just throw a party so I can get a reason to buy it?

Bathroom inspiration

As I've mentioned, we've already picked tiles for our ensuite - I'll show you a photo later. We haven't quite decided what the large bathroom will look like yet, but we're thinking vintage style, art deco inspired with a claw foot tub and classic art deco tiles. Something along these lines...














I love all of these bathrooms and they would all suit the style of our apartment. We don't want to make it too "old" but keep it quite modern with a frameless glass shower. We just want a few vintage details.

The last photo is a picture of different tiles from a local company that have started doing vintage tiles. We really like the black and white one in the middle. We still have some time to decide though as we will do the small bathroom and the kitchen before this.

 

I'm back!

I haven't blogged for a few months now. I haven't had any time or energy and nothing to share. The last 6 months have been soo busy as I've finished my masters, started a company and started a new job. Now I've however had a month holiday in my lovely home country and in France, got back to Sydney, got over my jetlag and decided it's time to start blogging again. This time about renovations! Yes we have started renovating our flat - it's an absolute mess at the moment but it will be fabulous in a year or so. In the last 2 years since we moved in (I can't believe it's been that long!!) we have pretty much worked out exactly what we want to do to the place and now we're ready to get started! First up is our new bedroom and ensuite. And a laundry. We picked tiles for the bathroom yesterday - just waiting for a quote! So exciting.

Since we live in an old art deco apartment we have decided to try to keep some old features and make it look classic in a contemporary way. A bit like this...

These are actually the floorboards we're getting. Wide oak floorboards. But we have a long way to go before our apartment looks like this! 

I'll keep you posted!
