all things gorgeous

i am in the midst of revamping my room. coming in a few more days, my dark mahogany set of closets, dresser and computer table will replace the run of the mill constructed wood crap i have right now.

i have also almost finished painting one side of the wall a dark pink. just one side though, for the accent.

yeah dark pink. not your cotton candy pink! give me a break!

i am also replacing the curtains with a flowy floral vintage fabric. though i definitely will not mind settling for this faceted curtain by hannah alljin( http://www.allijn.nl ). i am so enamoured with this that i am tempted to dip my fabric in resin so i can crumple it up as well, though of course it will be permanently crumpled. LOL.



when you slowly draw open the curtains, it just comes to life like a flower unfurling. in a more structured manner of course. but no less beautiful.



so..bloody..amazing.

i will also need a new ceiling light. and i want this, damn it!


this "top secret" lamp by hector serrano will look stunning against my pink wall. it does resemble a silkworm cocoon though. but i love it anyway.

in the future when i finally own my cosy little studio apartment, my theme will be minimalist yet fluid. i love softness against hard, angled backgrounds. like this washbasin by michael schmidt (please tell me how the heck do you pronounce his last name. smeet?)




will be easy to clean too!! no grime will be able to accumulate because there ain't no corners. die, grime!!!!

and lastly, i will be getting these ingenious book shelves from umbra.com. THEY CAN BE PURCHASED LOCALLY!! HELL YEAH!!!



i am getting 4 of these babies. each shelf will be able to hold 10 books.



and this!

most of the time, the simplest designs are what really catches my eye. some are so simple yet functional and obvious that you'll go "now why didn't i think of that?!"

right, back to finishing my last article for the company. bye, magazine life!! i need sleep.
