(con)temporary living

We are have decided to stay at home while my husband is refurbishing our house - 

well yes it is messy and tiring but it also helps us rethink some design decisions, 

practice living and get the feel for the space.

lounge is also working as a dining room, 

large box from antique store works well as coffee table,

we painted white strip on old parquet floor for cleaner look

black painted chimney breast disguises all imperfections in cracked walls

There is so many things we are doing different, 

because we know how we using our spaces.... 

....also so many things we are doing more than once...

walls everywhere filled with inspirational shots and dimension notes

What I just realised is that we are now living con temporary life in our home.

 Non of the spaces are how we want them to be when finished, 

but it doesn't stop us to have a bit of fun, 

decorate to make them feel more ours. 

We are experimenting with bold colours 

and solutions we would never try in other circumstances.

poetic drips

Surrounded by dripping freshly plastered walls we are carrying out our camping waiting for our dreams to come true.

back to basics- stripped down floor waiting for treatment

accidental hole in the ceiling still there 

For now, we are having fun with the space.
