pink II

Whenever I end a post with a spoiler like “And what I’ll do with this and that, I’m going to tell you next week” it never takes a week but a month or more. I promised to show what I wanted to do with one of our walls in our hallway more than two months ago and it took me until yesterday to get it done. But here it is: Another art wall.

Some of these prints waited to be hung up for months now and they just waited for the right place. But when I finally had decided where to put them up our walls, it took me like forever to arrange them. I tried so many layouts, cut out little models out of paper and arranged them on a sheet of paper because there were already so many holes in our wall (of all the nails I had put in and then out again). And when I thought I had found a layout that looks good, I started putting it up to the wall just to find out that it looks different on the wall. I was really frustrated. So yesterday I said I’d try it for the last time and if it wouldn’t work out this time, this wall would stay blank. I didn’t make a model this time and just gave it a try. I put up the two bigger ones in the middle and just hang all others around them quite intuitively and this time I really liked it.

The pink door already added some colour to our hallway, but for me, it wasn’t enough.  But now with the prints up the walls, I really like it.

Okay, here are some links to where I bought the prints:

The two viking melamine plates are by herzensart (viking in the rain and viking wood). Three of the mid-sized photographies are from one of my all time favourite etsy shops Wren & Chickadee (The Colors of SummerSquirrel Love and The Memory of Flight). Then there are two smaller drawings from ChildlikeWisdom (Life in the stories – A little canary and a very similar drawing that isn’t available at the moment, it was called Deer face) and one small photography by Roadside, called Accordion Music. The upper bigger print is called When will it stop… and is by Laura Amiss. The tree print on the right is by Annette Mangseth, who sends her prints in the most lovely envelopes you have ever received! And the two bigger photographies are called Seagulls and I stand each day on the shore (which is my favourite from all mentioned prints and photographies) from etsy shop honeytree. All Frames are IKEA Ribba frames.

That’s it! Hope you could find some inspiration. :)

    I love your blog! I really like your style and have enjoyed looking through your posts. I’m hoping I can get some inspiration from you as I’ve been feeling a little blah since my move here. Hopefully in a few months I can read your Deutsch version instead of the English one :)

    Hallo Kathrin,

    ist doch schön geworden!!! So viel L(e)ichtigkeit :)

    Ich kenn das aber, wenn man mit dem, was man selber macht, nie so richtig zufrieden ist ;)

    LG Kathrin

    I hopped over from your flickr site & thought, what an inspiring blog of interior decoration! Loving this layout, the chest of drawers, the pink door & your new layout of the paintings.

    Das ist prächtig! (forgive my German)

    hallo, wie befestigst du denn die melaminteller an der wand?

    A colored front door, which is something I want to do for years, but I rented my apartment only. Looks great!

    ich gehe von Seite zu Seite und entdecke immer wieder soviel Schönes – die Anordnung der Bilder, die Rahmen und die Drucke sind super gelungen und werten diese Wand enorm auf. Ich habe ebenfalls viele Rahmen die warten…derzeit zuviel Arbeit, verschiebe es immer auf den Winter ;-)
