House Planning | Let There Be Wallpaper and Lights!!
We’ve been living amongst piles of cardboard boxes, opening our pantry time after time foolishly expecting new contents to appear, and occasionally screaming at saying hello to one pesky mouse that is worried we might be leaving him (or her?) soon. Or maybe he’s just enjoying the obstacle course that is our apartment, eh? In any case, all of these signs point towards a move in our near future- two weeks today, in fact! So why am I making drawings of our house instead of packing boxes? Well, because it’s just really loads more fun. Duh. And after making these last suppers in our closet-sized kitchen, I need to be reminded of the hope that a nice kitchen and dining room will soon be in our lives!
After making the down payment on the house, we’ll be working hard to build up a savings fund again. But I managed to finagle an inexpensive vintage dining room light from Germany, and talked my brother into giving me back the light from his bedroom (which I installed back when it was my bedroom). So, things are coming together! And my wallpaper fund is growing. And we haven’t even moved in yet.
Planning a home is one of the sweetest things in life, so I hope you will enjoy my sharing the journey along the way! (I’m crossing my fingers for a nursery project in the near future!)
Sources: The old bedroom light was purchased from eBay (search white globe ceiling light), the wallpaper is from here, and the vintage dining room light is from here.
So so rad. Can’t wait to read about it all. And I’ve got my fingers crossed you get to decorate a nursery soon!
so so exciting! can’t wait to see everything!

Oh, that wallpaper site? My new favourite thing!
Can’t wait to see it unfold! I am the packing procrastination extraordinaire, so I can completely relate to the drawing-instead-of-packing thing ;)
So excited for you and Pjil and your new house!! Can’t wait to visit!!
*Phil, not Pjil…that’d be his Scandinavian name haha ;)

Congratulations on the house! We just got ours Thanksgiving weekend and it’s been amazing so far. But, it’s a big fixer upper so we’ll be investing most of our time (and money) into it for a while.
looks great so far– I can’t wait to see it come together :) Your ideas are always so unique and awesome :)
How exciting!
I am happy that you will have some german vintage in your home. It is a lovely lamp!
I am excited for you and your new space you will be occupying. It will be a wonderful new development!
