New Home: Bedroom

Hello people! Here comes the last room of the house, the bedroom! Even though there are still things to do in this room, I thought to give you a peak of what it looks like at the moment. One of the things I want to add is some artwork on the walls and maybe change lazaros's office because it is about to fall apart. 

I must say that this is my favorite room in the house and I just love the big windows! My first plan was to paint it a really dark blue like in this picture, but then we went for something lighter and it looks really good too (at least in my opinion). Hope you like it! :)

 Look! We even have a sea view and some mountains! haha

One of the reasons I wanted to paint two of the walls dark blue was to make the furniture pop out!

 Lazaros's pirate flag that flutters when the radiator is on. He is really proud of his flag!

That's all for now! Thank you for being so patient with my home tour and I hope you have liked all the crazy colors and new changes we have made!

New home: Kitchen

Happy New Year everybody! I know this post comes a bit late, but I was too busy getting fat during the Christmas holidays...as I tend to do every year during Christmas. My New Year's resolution is always about me getting fit, but I am never going to have a six pack so why torture myself? 

Either way, I am over explaining myself again so let's get back to business! This is the fourth part of our home tour with our kitchen, yey! To be honest when I first saw the kitchen I wasn't a big fan, but since we put the shelves in, it became more cozy and practical. If I could change one thing in the kitchen, it would be the color of the wooden cabinet (white would be more my thing) and the tiles on the wall...I guess that's two things I would change then! Enough of my mumbling though, I will let the pictures speak for themselves, enjoy! :) 

 Lazaros loves collecting spices! We will probably need to add more shelves at some point!

My mom made these shelves for us and I must say that they are super practical! Thank you mama!

That's all for now! I hope you like our "new" kitchen and see you next time!

New home: Bathroom and Corridor

Hello! Here comes the third part of our home tour! Our bathroom isn't the most interesting room in the house, since there wasn't much we could change in there, but to be honest I don't mind it the way it is! When I was searching for an apartment all the bathrooms had the most horrible tiles with really weird patterns from the seventies. Gladly this house, even though it is built in the seventies, it has really simple white and red tiles which aren't that bad really. Maybe it has been renovated which is why it has more simple tiles...I don't know. Either way, here is our bathroom in case you were wondering what it looked like :)

The only problem we had in the bathroom was the lack of storage space. Also that weird corner there wasn't very functional so we covered it with a bathroom furniture we found in Ikea and voila! Now we have space to put towels and other bathroom stuff and we no longer have that weird corner sitting there empty.

 This is our corridor that leads to the bathroom, the kitchen and the two bedrooms. I know you will be laughing with my editing skills, but my computer has been having some difficulties with photoshop, so I put the arrows on the drawing program...hups!

 This is what our corridor looks like now! We are planning to put a carpet when we get the money. We are also planning to do a painting in that black frame, but we are still on the thinking process (or in other words, waiting for the inspiration to come!). 

 My mom's old mirror she didn't want to keep anymore.

Two little paintings I bought last summer on our trip to Tallinn:)

That's all for now people! Stay tuned for our kitchen tour!

New home: Living/dining room

Hello! Here comes the second part of our home tour! I have to say that I had some difficulties photographing this space, so some pictures have been taken in a different time which affected the lighting in the room. Also on my before pictures, I made the mistake to not take the pictures before we brought all our stuff in...sorry about that!

So as you might be able to tell most of our stuff is from Ikea (nice and cheap),but I did buy the chairs from a local store here and I am really happy with them! The table once again is handmade by me and my mom, inspired from this table and the couch and the coffee table were Lazaros's old furniture that we changed up a bit. Anyway, I hope you like our colorful space! 

The credit goes to my mom who made the cover and the pillows for the couch!

  I guess you have noticed that I love yellow! At first, we were supposed to get a green armchair so that it wouldn't feel too yellow with the walls and everything. For some people it might be too yellow still, but I like the way it looks :)

The coffee table before we painted it

 Last but not least, our umbrella lamp. This was 100% my moms idea that I wasn't really excited about in the beginning, but it doesn't look that bad after all! (and yes, it is a real umbrella!)

That's all for now people :) Three more rooms to go!

Have a nice day!
