It's a very humble abode - a 1 bedroom flat with a loft conversion that we've split between us - 1 side for my partner's chilling/game area/man cave, and the other half as my clothes store/study. When we first moved in it was a nightmare. We're nearly finished sorting things out but still have a few more things to collect from my Mam's house and a few bits and bobs to buy but they'll have to wait until we have more time and money. The walls were bright blue and green which is definitely not us. I think sitting in rooms that bright would give me a migraine. So now we've nicely toned it down and personalised it in our own little budgety way. Luckily for me by BF is a rather talented artist and so painted some designs on the walls to jazz it up a bit. I hate that I'm not arty, but I've always been able to picture what I want so it's great having someone who can translate that and actually paint it for me :) So, here is what he did:
This is at the top of the stairs. We are thinking of making it into a "coat tree" for guests' jackets. He continued it into the passage/hall with birds above the bedroom and bathroom door and one flying away:
This is in our bedroom above the bed. I love oriental flowers :)
After living in a rented flat and not being able to decorate how we wanted we thought we'd go all out. Plus my BF's always wanted to draw on walls and thoroughly enjoyed the rebellious feeling :)
I've also started being a little bit creative with a needle and thread. I made some cushions for our living room...well I made 2 and I've had no time to make any more but I will. Here's 1 of them:
Very excited to have my own space to enjoy and concentrate on my studies :)
Now, those are cool designs. You must be so lucky to have an artsy boyfriend. Hope you'll be more in tuned with your studies after you've moved in. Your new room looks cosier than ever. Cheers!
