I was really busy over the past few weeks so there were no new posts. I have decided to redo the bedrom and I am in the process of deciding what is staying and what is going out. For now the one thing that is definitely staying is the bed and the wall color. I will post photos in the next few days.

Here it is. That old mid-century modern chair that I was writing about a few days ago is finished. I am not a professional (obviously) so it could probably be a lot better, but I am so happy with the final result. It just fits perfectly in the living room.

This is how it used to look.


This is how it looked in the process.


And this is the final result.

This is how my bedroom looks at the moment. I love the dark grey, black walls, love the artwork, love the grey curtains (IKEA RITVA) well I love the color scheme. But I am not sure about the style of the furniture.
I loved this room when I finished it, I still do, but since then, the rest of my apartment has gone a bit mid-century modern. I still think it's pretty, but I am not sure that it fits the rest of the apartmen.

I am not going to change it just yet, but for now I am thinking about it. What do you think what should I do.

When I saw these simple wooden blocks at my local craft store I knew I wanted them, but just wasn't sure what I was going to do with them.



When I brought them home and put them on my cabinet I realized that I really like how they look. Simply stacked on each other. This is probably the easiest DIY project ever :) For the moment I am going to leave them like this. But I am planing on painting them, and doing something more exciting.

I decided that the wall behind the sofa needs a new color. I painted it the same dark grey, almost black color that I already have on the opposite wall. I love the way it turned out.

My little home office. I painted the wall in a gorgeous dark grey color and it makes this white desk really stand out.

I was so excited when I saw that the beautiful Strandmon wing chair from Ikea was available as a three-seat sofa cos that was exactly what was missing in my living room. I had an old black three-seat couch and it was so depressing. It didnt fit the theme and it was just wrong for this space. Strandmon got me so excited that I decided to start a blog and document the progress in my home. The name of the blog was so easy to chose. Since my apartment is really small I decided to name the blog "Petite Apartment".


So far I am loving this sofa. It is rather small, which is perfect for my tiny apartment and it fits the mid-century modern vibe that I am trying to create in my home. I also bought the Lovbacken side table. I wanted this table for so long and was so happy when it finally arrived.
