Well, it took me longer than I thought to come back.... In the meantime I have been so much enjoying that our Penthouse has beenposted in some favourite blogs, such as Http://rearrangeddesign.blogspot.com/2009/07/house-tour_20,

A big thank you again, Ana, Susane, Christine and Chris! You brought a lot of visitors to my Flickr page ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivy_style33 ) and I have the oppurtinity to meet and exchange views with so many creative, wonderful people!
So, prior to leaving for vacation I was wondering wether I should wallpaper the reading corner's wall and if yes with which one. I loved all the samples so much, that I decided to decorate the wall using them. Something which also fits better to the fact that this house is rented. I also decided on keeping the costs of this project low, so I bought inexpensive RAM Ikea wooden frames and painted them white ( instead of buying for example the white RIBBA ones, which would mean the triple costs) .
Wallpaper samples framed. Size of frames: 20 x 30 cm. Size of wallpaper samples : 18 X 30. To fill in the gap, A4 white paper sheats were used.
The frames after three coats of white paint ( Weisslack) , painted with a roller.
10 Ikea RAM natural wooden frames were bought for 2,99 euros each.

Dear Ivy style 33, I was just wondering what the color at your wall is - plain white? did you add some pigments to the white, like a bit of green?
ReplyDeleteI will have my apartment re-painted and like the atmosphere in your penthouse. But I don't want to go for plain white. Doesn't seem right to me. For the last 15 years I lived in a light creme-white (yellow pigmented).
I forgot to say I love love love the atmosphere of your penthouse! Seems to be hard to leave home in the morning. Except you are lucky and work also at home.
