How to paint a triangle accent wall

Browsing through Pinterest for inspiration on how to paint our walls, I came across various pictures featuring a statement/accent wall and I thought by myself: I want this... and I can do this! Since we're going for a white-and-grey-neutral color scheme on our walls with colorful decorations throughout the entire apartment, a statement wall is the perfect way to spice things up and give our interior a modern Pinterest-ready look. And the best part of all: painting a (triangle) statement wall is actually easier than I thought it would be. You will need a couple of days to finish this project but it is so worth it!

Apartment Renovation Progress - Part 1

In the introductory post (that is now moved to the about section) I told you this blog would be a place to share everything, real life everything - not just the pinterestable bits. Well today I'm making good on that promise. I was debating whether or not to share these pictures with you just because of the fact they're not at all pinterestable. But this is my life right now. So what's the point in trying to come up with something to write about for hours and finding nothing (lack of space to take good pictures, lack of time to do anything but renovate, ...) when there's a topic dangling right in front of you? The elephant in the room if you'd like: we're in the middle of renovating our apartment. So instead of finding something else to talk about I'm taking this elephant by its giant ears and I'm sharing the progress we've made so far, pinterestable or not.

DIY: Bucket List Wall Art

Last week Ruben and I celebrated our first five years together. An anniversary is always a bit special but for five amazing years I wanted to find a suitable and equally special gift. Gifts for men are hard, I can't imagine ever knowing just what to get him, but you can't go wrong with something you made yourself right? Even the toughest man in the crowd can't deny the romance of a hand made gift .. (or can he?). But then again the question remains: what can you make him? After thinking long and hard I finally had the perfect idea: a huge (couples) bucket list to hang in our bedroom, dated for the next five years. I tried to add both things I like to do and things he likes to do to keep the balance in the list. It's a really easy and fast DIY and bucket lists are fun for many occasions! In fact it's so easy your older kids would really enjoy making these bucket lists to hang on their walls too. Ready? Let's DIY!
