Wallpaper, wallstickers or paint…

…what to do, what to do!?

My kitchen is getting redone – or sort of! There’s no ceiling, and a few cabinets are missing – should be back up in a jiffy (or so I was told in november – still waiting for the plumber to come round and fix the leek… all in good time!?) BUT not to worry – there’s no point (gives you wrinkles anyway), there’s always a silver lining, because this means I get to pick out new colours, wallpapers and/or wallstickers for the walls. So I have been browsing the web for inspiration – I can’t think of any better way to spend the rest of my evening! I’ll have sweet dreams about a whole new look in the kitchen… I might not be able to afford changing the whole damn thing, but a splash of paint can work wonders in any old space!

I like colours – especially bright colours, but in moderation. I also like the simple, elegant black and white and the classic scandinavian style. In my kitchen however I’d like something bright. It’s the first place I really spend any time in the morning, and a bright splash is certain to get me in a good mood.

I have been looking at Tapetforums homepage where I found the first 2 wallpaper designs, and I must say I’m in love with the wallpaper from Nina Campbell – the rich colours are gorgeous, although I don’t know if my kitchen would be able to carry it of.

The second design, is also a favorite – my kitchen is much more suited for that particular pattern, and even though it’s not bright as such, the delicate gold pattern gives it a touch of luxury – and as any other girl, I love luxury :) The last design is a wallpaper from Tapet-Caféen, from Cole and Son which I quite like – I don’t know why, it just really appeals to me.

Then on to the wallstickers – I have mentioned Supernice before, and I will mention it again! It’s a great place for wallstickers – check it out, they have got a range of special offers just now. I like wallstickers because it allows you to change the look fairly often, and it doesn’t involve a large investment. You don’t have to repaint an entire wall if you decide that you’re not into that look anymore – you simply peal the sticker off again. Wallstickers are definitely the way to go! The dolls and the NY Skyline I imagine “standing” along the breakfast bar I hopefully will manage to install after the kitchen is finished. The last one in the bunch is from Supernice, but there are many, many more to chose from

Exam time…

This will be a really short post – I know I haven’t posted for a while. My boyfriend and I have been away for New Year and just returned yesterday – I love to go away, but by the end of it I really look forward to getting back to my owm bed and house again :)

Anyway I  thought I should post a little something, I have to hand an assignment in tomorrow for my coming exam, and unfortunately it doesn’t write itself unaided – so I need to get started!

I have however found a coulpe of nice sites that might be worth checking out:

Inspirational spaces: Photographer Elizabeth Hudson posts pictures of houses, they are beautiful and definitely worth looking at – and as the name of the blog, they truly are inspirational spaces.

Wonderwall: Swedish Company, specialising in art prints – at fairly affordable prices.

All Green Things: If you, like me, like eco friendly and sustainable living then you should have a look at this website – there’s a lot of good inspiration to be found even if you’re not out to buy stuff. These guys has also got a blog that might be worth a look.

It’s not much – but I have to finish that assignment! So take care until next time.
