We’re going to spend the next few days in Braunschweig, in Northern Germany, and stay with my family. In order to post at least a few new facts about our living room, here is another sneak peek.

I bought the chest of drawers at eBay two weeks ago for 40 Euros. The seller was a turkish woman who told me that her husband had driven the piece three years ago all the way from Turkey to Germany. And now they’re moving back to Turkey and he refuses to drive all the way back by car just for this chest of drawers.

Although I’ve got quite a weakness for painted furniture, I like this chest of drawers just the way it is and therefore won’t change it. In the course of this week I’ll try buying some fabric for our curtains and hopefully will be able to start with the corridor without having a bad conscience.

See you next week!
