In need of a break

I need a break! The sun is there, the chairs are present, I only lack time! Note-to-self: sit in these chairs and do nothing... ASAP.

We sandpapered these old chairs and waxed them before making a new,vintage fabric cover.

We bought the fabric in Belgium this summer @ Point of View - you have to love this place.

Recycled goods: our treasures

Desinfected, sandpapered and waxed; ready for usage.
A flowery tray.
A bread storage container.
A table and a chair.

Five minutes to wash the items.
Thirthy minutes to sandpaper table and chair.
Ten minutes to apply the woodwax.
TOTAL amount: 30 AED or 6 euro.

LOVE IT!

Forgotten Jewels #3

I still haven’t done half of the things I wanted to do, to make our house cozier since we moved -almost a year ago. Nevertheless I finally managed to wallpaper one wall in the living room. 

The ‘Belgian-coast’- canvas from her pushed me to finally make work of putting the wallpaper up!

The fact that I never wallpapered before made me postpone this project! Now it is my favorite spot in the house and even Mr Curl Up loves to sit here I have noticed the last couple of weeks!

Her picture gives our little corner the perfect amount of ‘home-coming-feeling’.
