Austin print love

I am such a big sucker for stationary, art prints and all of that. I already have an amazingly beautiful print of Edinburgh and having one (or 100) of Austin is my next goal. Etsy is such a great place to look and here are my favorite ones:

New stuff I love {being a material girl}

  My amazing new perfume, la la love it!

 Best friends just know you so well! Love this luggage tag I got for my birthday .

I bought this notebook (which I am gonna use as a scrapbook) in Hannover, in this Japanese store called Muji. So excited to fill it with all my scrapbooky stuff!

Bought this from Papertiger here in Edinburgh, just because it was so pretty. You can buy this for so many cities, even Edinburgh! Click here.
 

Pretty tin from the flea market and my new headphones.

And this is where I am sitting right now! The weather is unbelievably beautiful at the moment, so I am trying to get a tan from my window spot and hate my downstairs neighbours who are not even using their backyard.

My time in Germany {via Instagram}

Here we go, my instagram coverage of my time here in Germany. I would love to stay longer, just because the weather JUST GOT BETTER. urghs, I hate when that happens. I seem to be cursed with bad weather for some reason. But I won't complain, my birthday weather was perfect!

For editing of the pictures I sometimes used the fantastic new app from A Beautiful Mess, which has been released recently (for now only for the Iphone, but they are working on a Android version). 

So today I am already flying back to Edinburgh, trying to settle back in and get ready for the Film Festival and the rest of the summer!

Project: living room

the living room now

There is so much potential in this room and it is driving me crazy. I have dreamed of having a room of this size with a fireplace, stucco decoration and untouched walls for so long.
Now we have it right there and it's just... meh.
To give this room a make over is going to be my summer project. I am going to be by myself in this flat probably all summer and while I am going to work, I need something else.
This is perfect.
We already started with a photo wall, which I am going to show soon.

However, the sheer size of it makes it even harder to just get it over with quickyl. & our money situation does not help either.

This is what it looks like now:

 We have the TV where it is mostly because of where the outlet is. Every thing else was just ...there.What I though of instead is something like this:

 

I kind of like this arrangement because I tried to make the fireplace a bit of the centre of attention and the dining area less... massive. We really do not need it that much and even if, it is too big.

My plans are:

• having a mini bar in the top left corner
&
• having the couches face the TV but also not to far away from the fireplace

Sadly we have to live with the carpet, the ugly rugs and the fact that we cannot damage the walls. Urghhh

the best thing about home...

is this!
