I try to decorate our appartment room by room (and I’m afraid I’ll start all over again when I’m “finished”). Nearly finished is now our bedroom/office. Today accomplished: my desk.

Unfortunately the chair I ordered a few weeks ago is still missing, but I can hopefully switch the chairs in the middle of May.

The desk is one of my old IKEA desks that hadn’t cost more than 25 Euros. I just covered it up with a piece of new GreenGate oilcloth and voilà: a new desk! The calendar is by Enna, the cup I store my pencils in is by GreenGate as well, the storage tins by Cath Kidston, the magnet boards by House Doctor and the shelves by IKEA / our local DIY store.

These magnet boards are available in three different versions (with either a 1 on it, a two or a three). I couldn’t resist and took the 2 and the 3 – I can’t deny I’m a computer scientist.

I’ve been drooling over this clock for months on etsy and finally bought it. I made a backing with a 1cm thick polystrene board that I covered with a piece of cloth (Cath Kidston as well) and now I can use it as a small pinboard.

I have to admit I’m quite unsure if I’ll still be happy with the desk in a few months, but for now I totally love this place.
