my sister's new flat - impressions

 Two months ago, my sister finally moved out of her crappy old place and found this lovely, spacious flat. She is a decoration freak, just a bit like me, and therefore I wanted to show you just a few small impressions.

As you certainly can see, she fancies something between shabby chic and modern country style. The colours should be kept simple - white, creme, beige, different brown tones, pale green and blue shades. My sister doesn't really like much bling bling and shrill colours.

 In my opinion, she did a great job. Everything goes together so well and you simply just feel so welcome and home when you come around to see her.

I hope you'll find some inspiration here for your next decoration project.

Yours, Kat :-)

Christmas time

After months of absence, I am back. It has been a rough time with a new job that turned out to be a nightmare but I now I have a new new one and I am happy again :-)

And one of my favourite times (if not my absolute favourite time) of the year has just begun ... CHRISTMAS TIME!!!
Some are already tired of the Christmas music everywhere and the Lebkuchen but I am just about to start baking and decorating the house.
This year, my sister and I decided to make Advent calendars for each other. I am glad we decided this in the beginning of November because it took some time to find and buy these little items. 24 of them!!!
So, I want to share some pictures of the calendar that I got from my sister. It is bigger than I had expected and I unfortunately don't have enough space for it so I just put it on the backrest of the sofa.

  

I could not wait to open the first sachet and it contained a packet of tea :-) my sister knows exactly how much I love tea. Tea, tea, tea! Hallelujah!!

 

Though I am 27 and my sister is 21 years old, we simply love Christmas and all the hustle and bustle about it and we say: YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD FOR AN ADVENT CALENDAR!!

I felt a bit creative ...

It has been a while since my last post but I have been really busy. I finished beauty school with a really good diploma and I am still on the job hunt. But it is going great so far.
Well, here are some things I made last week just because I felt like doing something creative to make my home look nicer.
First I painted this little chest of drawers white and used napkin decoupage to finally get rid of these terrible red, blue and green drawers.
Then I made a collage for my living room using an old Daphne's Diary magazine (yes, I love Daphne's Diary and it was really hard for me cutting the magazine into small pieces). And then finally I made this painting ... well, there is not much paint on it, just some butterflies and some golden craft stuff that had been left over. 
It is not big art but I like it :-) I hope you also like it and feel a bit inspired.

Yours, Kat :-)

 

new music for your ears :-)

Aus Skandinavien kann nur Gutes kommen. 

So wie Jonas Alaska und seine Musik.

Ich möchte gar nicht viel darüber schreiben, denn ich befinde mich gerade im Prüfungsstress. Aber trotzdem möchte ich meine musikalische Entdeckung mit euch dort draußen teilen und hoffe, dass ihr genau so begeistert sein werdet wie ich es bin.

Viel Spaß mit den Videos :-)

There is only good things coming from Scandinavia.

Such as Jonas Alaska and his music.

I don't want to write much about it because I'm in the middle of my final exams. Nevertheless, I still wanted to share my musical discovery with you out there hoping that you'd be as enthusiastic as I am.

Enjoy the videos :-)
