typewriter – that lemon life

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

Hola everybody.

You know, I love writing. I’ve always loved it. Since being a little kid, I’ve dreamed about being an author, earning money by writing stuff. And now that I have my own blog, did actually publish my own book and am now working as a journalist, I kind of thought about how it feels for me to basically write.

People have always told me that I seem to get completely lost when writing. And I think that’s true. I tend to get fully caught up in the idea I have in my head and then the words just keep streaming. It’s crazy. Especially when a topic is very important to me or when I have a lot to say. For example, let me write a text about how I think that YouTube isn’t stupid or a waste of time and you can watch me get lost and write on and on and on.

But apart from all of my blog posts and the articles I write, I think that writing an actual story is the most captivating thing ever. I’m currently working on a story and when I’m writing, every aspect, every little thing about the storyline, the people, just everything, keeps coming up. Things I’ve never thought about before starting to write, before laying my fingers on the keyboard, are suddenly there, in my head. And then on the paper. The whole story forms itself in my head. And I can clearly see it in my mind. Like, the people, the streets, everything how I imagine it to be. And I’m there, watching everything and then writing it down. This may sound crazy to you, but that’s seriously how it is. How incredible is that?

If some of you are writers like me, you’ll probably know what I’m talking about. It seems like I’m not the only one that experiences the writing process like this. Oh and please, if you do, don’t hesitate to leave a comment. And if you don’t, the same. I’m so interested in hearing your opinions and thoughts.

Last weekend we visited my grandmother and I kind of strolled around her house and then found the coolest thing ever – my mums old typewriter. Of course I had to take it with me. It’s now placed on the table in our office and it’s literally the most amazing eye-catcher. It makes me feel like I’m a real author – although I don’t even use it. It just gives me the feeling. Oh, and if you’re interested, I left some pictures down below.

So guys, that’s actually everything I wanted to tell you. I loved the thought of sharing my passion for writing with you and I really hope you enjoyed it. And as already mentioned, please don’t forget to leave your comments down below to. Oh and I won’t be posting anything for the next week as me and my mum will be in Paris for a little mother-daughter trip. I’m already so freaking excited, I can’t wait to get there. And of course I’ll take my camera with me, so stay tuned for some nice pictures. And until then I wish you all a nice weekend and, as always, thanks for reading. x
