Operation hotelroom 3

Having holidays means being away a lot. Most of the time it concerns doing things which I enjoy a lot, but it does mean that posting comes second.
However, being away also brings me new inspiration and new reasons to post things here. This morning I found out that making a bedroom of my 'hotelroom' partly comes with time.



I have got this headboard which is made to put things on. However, I didn't have more on it than just the alarm clock and that brown candle. Why not? I haven't got the foggiest.



My mum gave me these postcards. They represent my two favourite cities. Paris and Stockholm..



Two little presents I got. It's true, the little Norev car is perfect. Sizes are the same, details are well done, and I like the fact that the varnish is already damaged before unpacking the toy. Makes 'em even more realistic! Hello, it's an oldtimer?! :)

Extreme room makeover

When my mum and I moved house, we wanted to go in our new house as soon as possible. The consequence was that none of the rooms were refurbished yet. In my room, there was some sort of ugly blue-greyish carpet, covered in brown dirt-marks which couldn't be removed in any way. The walls were covered with horrible structured wallpaper. After painting this wallpaper, it still looked as ugly and dirty as before. And I got sick and tired of this 'pig-sty'..

After:


First, I removed all of the wallpaper. Unfortunately, the walls inside our house are made of drywall, so when I scratched off that wallpaper, huge pieces of drywall came with it. After that I removed the carpet.
My aunty has placed the new floor, and I filled up every hole in the wall, smoothed it, filled up again, smoothed it and then painted it with structure paint.
I came to the conclusion that 1. drywall is annoying if you want to remove wallpaper, since you can't remove it with water. 2. drywall is crap because it can't carry heavy things such as shelves. 3. It takes ages to apply structure paint, since it's so thick. However, it was fun to do.
How much I love my room now!
