bedroom love

as the herringbone floor
and the french door out to the balcony

just found my perfect bedroom in this gorgeous minimalistic apartment 

Have a great weekend :-)

K desk


 functional, clean and elegant
 designed for children
and so beautiful...

Really fell for the K desk designed by Rafa-kids
a studio owned by an architect couple and based in Rotterdam (NL)
Agata takes care of the esthetic side of the designs and 
her husband Arek is the technical brain of the duo. 

 K desk is made from Finnish birch wood and plywood and can be 
set in two different positions: an open and close one

my little ikea hack



pics elvs

a  few weeks ago I wrote about the Ikea ps 2014 collection
and from the first moment  I saw them
(despite the fact that I didn't like the used colors) 
one of my favorite accesories of that collection

loved the shapes
and the fact that you can vary the look of the vases 
and choose what you want to keep in them by changing the lid

inspired by so much amazing modifications on - and simple addings 
of Ikea products seen at the original ikea hackers site
and to give it my own twist 
i bought my favorite colors in spray paint  
and made my own little ikea hack
what do you think? 


ps. did you ever "hacked" an Ikea product? 
Would love to see yours so please let me know!
