furniture – that lemon life

Hola everyone.

I hope you’re all doing good. Just as a little update from my behalf, the Justin Timberlake concert was freaking amazing, I don’t know if I’ve ever been to such a crazy, ornate show. I didn’t even know where to look, there was just so much going on. And hell, JT knows what he’s doing, he’s such a fantastic dancer and singer. So, looking at that, I’m pretty much on a cloud. But besides that, unfortunately, I’ve been sick since coming home from the concert, which feels so weird for me. Like, I’m never ever sick, this is so unusual for me. And now I’m stuck at home, feeling like a sack of potatoes and I freaking hate it. It’s so annoying when you’re a naturally happy and jumpy person and then from one day to another your body and mind just change into a meh-mood and even walking from the kitchen over to the couch becomes the hardest thing ever. I hate iiiiiit. I so hope that I’m going to feel better soon. Please.

But that’s not what I wanted to talk to you guys about today. So, let’s bring on a bit of a happier mood and let’s get right to it. As some of you may have read in my recent posts, I’ve also just come home from my trip to Budapest together with my mum. And yes, it was so so so nice. It was actually my first serious trip to the city and I really enjoyed it. I was actually surprised by the cuteness and coolness of the city. I really really loved it. I’ll tell you more about the trip in my next posts and of course about our day at Sziget festival, which was a total dream come true.

But today I’d like to tell you all about the hotel we stayed at. It was called Brody House and situated right at the city center, so a perfect spot for us. But that’s not the best, no no. The best part was the hotel itself or the interior and overall look, I’d say. Not to be dramatic or anything, but this is seriously the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I was baffled. If I ever got the chance, I would move in there within a second, it’s just so so beautiful. The most amazing part was the clash of modern pieces of furniture and art with the old and rustic vibes of the walls and window frames. I adored it. If I ever get to live in and decorate a nice flat, I swear I’ll just hand over the pics I took of the hotel and tell everyone to decorate it this exact way. But without further ado, take a look for yourself. And yes, it really looked like that. What a dream.

I know, I know, it looks absolutely fantastic. If any of you ever get the chance to stay at this hotel, please do it. It’s freaking amazing. And you can have your breakfast in any of the rooms. I mean, imagine having breakfast while looking out of the window right at the trees from the park next door while a small breeze twirls itself around your skin and 20s/30s music is playing in the background. Yes, it was that good. What an experience.

So yeah, that’s Brody House. Such a cool hotel. I hope you like it just as much. Like I said, I hope you’re all doing good and that you enjoy this little post and the pictures. As always, please don’t hesitate to leave your comments down below. And, of course, thanks for reading. x

Hola everyone.

As some of you may know, I have a special place in my heart for interoir design. It’s a passion of mine that I kind of found out about like one year or so ago. I mean, of course I’ve always loved decorating rooms and buying decorations and furniture and imagining how I’d furnish and arrange a room, but since last year, this love and interest have somehow deepened. Especially after I got the order from my mum this year after getting back from Berlin to clean out and redecorate my room. Which I did. I threw back quite a lot of things and then replaced most of them with plants. That’s also when my addiction to plants really took off.

So, anyway, since then I’ve been thinking about interior design all the time. And thinking about how I’d decorate our house if I could change something. And then I remember walking past our office one day and looking at it and I hated it. I really didn’t enjoy looking at it. There was not a single sign of design or love or anything else. It was just a room, packed with furniture and other stuff that didn’t match at all, for the simple purpose of not having a empty room. Here’s a picture of how it looked. I know it’s pretty crappy, but I think you get an idea of what I mean.

So I talked to my mum and made it my mission to turn this horrible thing of a room into something I could really enjoy spending time and studying in. I started this summer and I finally put on the last touches a few days ago and now it’s finished. And oh my god guys, I love it. I really really do. And I’m so freaking proud of it. Because now it’s a totally cute, modern, lively and stylish office.

I covered the horrible blue of the couch with a big, fluffy blanket, bought some nice plants, removed or hid all the furniture that didn’t fit my intended color palette and then put some pictures and frames and decoration I did myself on the walls (the light bulb vases, the world map pinboard and the clock are DIY). I even printed out the design of my tattoo I got in Paris, which I think is so cool. And of course the old typewriter from my moms childhood is basically the biggest eye-catcher in the whole room. And, yeah, I think the room itself really had a huge transformation. And I’m super happy with it.

And without further ado, I present you our new office. As I said, I’m really happy with how it turned out and it’s the biggest reward for my self to be able to walk past it and take a glance with a smile on my face. I hope you like it too. As always, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment down below, I’m really curious about what you think of it. And yeah, I wish you all an amazing week and thanks for reading. x
