G&A; Home Improvement

With the great help of my mom, I decided to transform my little cube (that's how my place got baptized) into a DIY-Home. I'm short of space but have a lot to store like my bikes, my clothes, my shoes...so I saved furniture, but took the best out of what I have.

We're not done yet, but I want to document the great work and progress.

1. My kitchen 

I think we got more than the maximum out of my tiny cooking place. And I love it so much. There is no space for usual kitchen racks so we bought two of these 10€ Shelves at IKEA, got my favourite color mixed at the hardware store and painted both of them (I think it was called peppermint). The wall fixings are IKEA too, called the FINTORP Series. The cute little cats and the essentials of my tea corner (green tea, black tea and owls of course) are presents of my mom. Thank you so much! 

The greens on top of my fridge were my mom's idea, too. They are a mix of cress and sprouts, already a little bit overgrown. Perfect for salad! 

2. My "Dining-Table"

This construction is entirely made out of my mom's old furnishings, except for the seat cushions which are available here. We painted the table in the color 'blackberry' (mixed at the hardware store, too) and the top is made out of my old homework drawings from school. I didn't want to throw them away so I covered the tabletop with napkin decoupage and sealed it with acrylic. When I find a matching measure, I want to put a glass top over it.



3. My terrace

Okay, this isn't actually inside, but I just love the view so much. The furniture and the flower pots are inherited, too. We planted two boxwoods, primroses, carnations and a pot of peppermints. I can't wait for the fresh ice-tea in summer!

This is everything I have right now but if you want more, check my instagram account for quick little updates.
