It’s kind of funny how dominant the color red is in our living room. I would have neither ever considered red one of my favourite colours, nor have planned including so much red in the room. Everything started with the cover of our armchair that I changed from IKEA Rosali to red and white stripes (yet still from the IKEA Rosali(nda) collection), as the flowery pattern didn’t really fit to the new grey wall color.

The day befor yesterday finally arrived the Keep Calm And Carry On poster, this time it has the right size and I instantly framed it and hung it.

The chest of drawers next to the armoire might look familiar to some of you – it changed it’s place in the sleeping room with the white glass cabinet which now stands next to our bed. The glass cabinet didn’t really look good next to this quite huge armoire but definitely brings some colour in our living room and has already brought some new ideas to my mind.

With the letter cushions I am quite pleased. I think they look so much better in the arm chair. In front of the old light violetly painted walls the colours of the cushions looked a bit pale, but now they seam to shine.

Still, there is a LOT to do and I still haven’t done everything I wanted to (Will I ever have? I’m dropping the same phrase in every post again and again …),  but hopefully I’ll have some time soon. At least the Hezleins are now living in their new bunny hutch, even if it’s still a bit provisional.

In three weeks I’ll finally have my well-deserved holiday and in order that I won’t be bored I ordered a bunch of fabrics so that I can try to sew my first quilt. In addition to the usual renovating of course.
