As simple as it gets....



....using mostly already existing furniture from our previous homes and spending as less money as possible ( so that most can be invested in gaining experiences through often travelling) were the drawing lines for making this Penthouse a home.

My things arrived by track from Greece almost 2 years ago.
So let's see how it goes from what is seen here:

His:
-> two piece sofa corner (Ikea)
-> wheeled coffetable legs, which were
added to a new surface from Ikea.
They were also wallpapered by me,
for a little luxus look.

Hers:
-> 2x4 Expedit
-> White flokati from Habitat
-> Alseda stool from Ikea
-> white, cotton curtains from Ikea
-> Vintage Albert Van Luit wallaper
found in an amazing shop's attic in
Athens, among with a few oher rolls,
that are mostly used in my crafts.
-> base lamp from Ikea
->handmede brown pillow

Bought together:
-> Leran big cental pendant lamp (Ikea)
-> Balck&white big cushion (x2) from
Ikea

  1. Hi,
    I am a new reader of your blog and I really love it.
    I don't know which part I prefer: your styling skills and looking at your beautiful place or the way you encourage us to enjoy life everyday, every minute.
    Anyway, you became a major source of inspiration for me. Thanks for that.
