The non-stripping kind....

Hello everyone,

a new addition to my future apartment.... A chippendale - it suits because just like me it´s the non-stripping kind *wordplay alert* ;-) searching ebay I found this beauty for whopping 59 €. Too great a catch to pass it up. Even shipping it is still only 70 €.... In it´s future it will hold my make up and replace the ugly plastic container that did this job before. My hair acessoires will be stored in the wooden boxes I bought yesterday and I could put my etagere with my jewelry on it, too!

can´t wait to get it!!!!

50s Interieur anyone?

Hello everyone,

the date is set! n the 2nd of July Iam going to move into my new apartment. Ok, our new apartment, but I took over choosing the furnitures for the living room and the sleeping room.

Today I was looking through magazines and books figuring out which colour ways will work for my living room... The walls are orange, and as this is a dominating colour Iam naturally worried whether the furnitures I choose for it will match it or whether it will look a huge mess. I made photos from the articles and photos for reference and I figured I might as well share them :-)

I guess bringing in tons of different colours should be fine

random ideas for my new apartment...

...given that I get it. I made a deal with John. He can furnish his working/sportsroom and I can furnish our sleepingroom and living room. I have some ideas in my mind already....

Livingroom:

Iam lusting for those repros of cocktail-chairs for my living room. It will be mostly Tiki-inspired and Iam on the hunt for a nice kidney-table. too. We will have a red chaiselounge that we get for free as a sofa and I hope to snatch up those chairs - and hope badly they go with the chaiselonge and the orange walls!

In our living room there will be our dinning corner as well. This is what Iam eyeing on ebay. Do you think those will go with the cocktailchairs, the chaiselounge and the walls? It will become colourfull for sure...

Sleepingroom:

Here I plan for a 50s meet baroque boudoir theme. The walls are turqois and as John can´t be bothered will wallpaper and I actually like the colour I have an idea how to get the baroque theme in... but more about this later....

I dream about this IKEA bed:

And while this IKEA wardrobe is not particulary retro I just NEED a lot of space for my clothes! And the white should go nicely and neutral with the overall look.

On the bright side here´s something I had for years already.... My beloved vanity table from the 50s! And my kidney formed mirror

Retroish bed, modern wardrobe, 50s vanity table... Where does the baroque element come into play? I have no idea where I found the picture (comment if you know so I can give credit) but I plan something like this - however I will put baroque wallpaper into the frames. I already found 3 gold frames on a fleamarket and I´m positive I will find more!

It is still loooooong to go, but I wish I could just go ahead and buy everything I want already!!!! I´m in nesting mode!
