Minimalistic space saving Tree

This year I want something else. 
Looking around for a Christmas Tree that I will probably throw away after one Christmas, doesn't feel right to me. So I wanted something that is simple and doesn't cost more than ten euro's. 

My favourite part is how it doesn't use up all of the space. Which is very important in an small house. 
And Aoki made the decorations herself. 
To make this it only takes a half an hour of your time. While you measure the tree your kid can draw the decoration. 

/1 

You need a washi tape and Christmas light ( found mine at ikea ).

/2

Measure it how big you want the three to be and paste the washi tape on a blank wall.

Put the Christmas light on and the drawing  and DONE! 

A little make-over in the Kitchen

Hi guys! 

I know it's been awhile. But that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy.

For the last three months I had a couple of new projects that needed my attention.  

For my latest project, in my own apartment, is our Little kitchen (with the capital L).

It still a project, because in the beginning of 2017 our apartment will be renovated.

It is not that easy to apply minimal in a room where a lot happens. 
Even though I've thrown out a lot of stuff, we still have a lot of stuff left. And it makes you wonder: Why do we keep all these things that we might only need for one day? 
you wonder how I did it? Read my blog down here. 

As you can see in the picture at the top, this was the situation before the make-over. 
On the left side we have the kitchen block. Under the countertop there is a washing machine and two cabinets, one for my cleaning products and one for my cookware. 
On the top we have two cabinets, one for our plates and glasses and the other for all our spices. As you can tell we don't have a lot of  storeroom. That is the reason why we threw away all that stuff. So that we didn't have clutter. on the other side of our kitchen we made a memory wall.
- Tip: makes sure that everything in a small space has its own place. To prevent it from looking like a clutter.

After four years I was done with this look. I wanted everything to be on one line in my whole apartment. Just like we did in the living room, we painted our memory wall in the kitchen white. We replaced our little kitschy picture frames with the three minimal big frames from IKEA .
- Tip: If you decorate the room with big accessories, it will make the room look bigger that it actually is.
After that, instead of one shelf for my kettle and my Nespresso device, we bought two white shelfs. So that we have one shelf left for storage of some of my black tea set. 

House Doctor

Last month's theme was to find the perfect pouf for our new round table. I spend so many hours on Pinterest to find some inspiration. It really brought me serious result because after a month of searching, I found this black pouf from the House Doctor. 

I've chose this pouf because it has a modern lightweight appearance. 
Made of rattan and metal it fits perfectly in our interior. I had to choose for the colour black or gold. And of course I have chosen for the colour black because I find this colour fits better in our Scandinavian interior. 
- a really good tip that always works for small spaces: is to use furniture that light, transparant or looks floating.
This way the space looks bigger that it actually is. 
En what fun part is that I got this pouf as a present for my 30th birthday from my friends from L.A. Yay!

Our white wall

It took a while, but today I’m writing my very first blog. My love for interior design has never stopped and started at the age of six, no joke! My mom never had to ask me to clean up my room (weird huh?).
Anyway, my first blog is about our white wall in our living room. We changed it a while ago from a paper wall to a clean white wall. Then it hit me! This is gonna be the perfect subject to write about on my very first blog. A new wall, a new chapter.

This is our current situation, as you can see in the picture above. 
We had a grey colour barok structure wallpaper from Kwantum for four years. 
It gets boring after a while and this was one of the reasons that we changed it and painted it white. 
Now our living room looks light, quiet and more spacious.

Since I’ve become a mother, my taste in interior design has changed from barok to minimal and monochrome. ‘Simple’ and ‘timeless’ are the two main words for our house and that is why I have chosen for the colour white.
Not only does white exude a clean look but it also brings a lot of light in a small space. 
This brings more of a spacious look to our small living room. All the Scandinavian interior is white because the days in those countries are shorter. That is why white will create more light and space in your own house. A choice I know I will never regret!
