A little home tour



As my returning readers know, I'm in the midst - or can you say 'in the midst' if it's an ongoing thing for half a year? - of a home (re)decoration. Since my twin brother moved out last winter, I had an extra (small) bedroom to fill and a new style to create with consistently throughout the entire house. It takes a lot of time, motivation (I often don't get past the 'inspiration moldboard' phase) and money (oops, all spent on clothes, food and traveling) to find the right pieces. So I'm taking it slow. However. Weeks ago I purchased Philippe Starck's Ghost chairs - a total design classic that can easily be transformed to fit different styles. Starck is a great interior designer (I became a fan after sleeping in the a-mazing Sanderson Hotel in London during a press trip. It has little tree stump stools and all). I bought one Ghost chair with and one without arm rests, for a twist, and they reside in my home office and bedroom. Once I started taking pictures of those new lucite lovers I decided to snap some more apartment spots. Decoration disclaimer: it's nowhere near done - will it ever be, though? - but still it's fun to share :) 

Let me know how you decorated your room/home, if you have any decoration tips, and what your dream interior would look like!


What are you looking at?
1) Dainty jewelry storage 2) Balcony view from my bed 3) Self Service in my home office 4) Fresh fruits 5) Another jewelry display 6) Custom wooden living room table and bench 7) New Ghost chair in my bedroom

You may not be done but I am LOVING what you've done already! I am obsessed with DIY chunky tables and that Ghost chair is a must when I move in my new apartment in a couple of months.

Also cool to see we have the same House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst ring :)

Luna said...

Loving what you have so far. Looks like you have some nice space to play around with. I'm in the process of doing some redecorating myself and recently wrote about styling shelves, which includes lots of images from my inspiration board: http://www.theredtrousers.com/2012/06/art-of-shelf-styling.html

as well as shared some of how my favorite bloggers styled their ghost chairs here: http://www.theredtrousers.com/2012/05/i-can-see-clearly-now.html

Hope this can be of some help! Can't wait to see how everything looks when you're done!

De bank lijkt me erg fijn! Ik kijk vaak in brocante woonwinkeltjes voor de kleine dingen zoals vazen, schilderijtjes, kaarsjes en dergelijke. De rest van mijn meubels zijn wit en redelijk modern. Ik heb een muur in kleur (fransroze) en de rest wit!

Prachtige inrichting!

Oh my gosh Yara this is like my dream apartment. Simplistic, white walls with lots of space to decorate, that rough wooden table.. which area of Amsterdam do you live? I'm looking for places at the moment and some good areas would be great to know about!

Your apartment is already great as it is even if you say it isn't completely finished. As for me, I really like flowers. So if anything, I would have loads of faux silk flowers just because the real thing requires maintenance-I already have trouble looking after myself.
