DIY: OBOŽUJEM TE MAJHNE PAPIRNATE LANTERNE // I LOVE THESE SIMPLE MINI PAPER LANTERNS DIY

SLO

Obožujem praznično vzdušje v decembru. Rada okrašujem stanovanje in ob tem najraje znova in znova poslušam praznične pesmi. Ampak stvar, ki pa res sovražim je ta, ko sredi oktobra zagledam v trgovinah okraske in adventne koledarje, še hujše - včasih jih lahko najdeš že v začetku septembra. Razumem, da prodajalci želijo biti prvi, zanimivi in hočejo prodati, ampak saj niste resni!? Ne kupim! Čas za praznike prihaja v začetku decembra, do takrat pa me ne zanima.

Dobro, zdaj ni še čas za praznično okraševanje, ampak a ni škoda, da porabimo ves ta denar za lučke in okraske, ki jih lahko uporabimo samo nekaj tednov vsako leto? Ostalih 11 mesecev so zaprti v omaro - a ni to takšna potrata prostora? Torej, kaj lahko naredimo? Lučke recimo, lahko z nekaj dodatki in spremembami uporabiš za okrasitev stanovanja in zabav čez vse leto.

VSAKA SKODELICA IMA ZGODBO // EVERY MUG HAS A STORY

SLO | Prepričana sem, da imaš v svoji omari več kot eno skodelico. In prepričana sem, da se te skodelice med seboj ne ujemajo. :D Se ujemajo? Oh, kaj si naredila z ostalimi? :O ;) Skodelice so ponavadi stvari, ki jih dobimo za darilo, včasih dobiš eno, s posebnim sporočilom ali sliko natisneno na njo, včasih dobiš dve - eno zate, drugo za tvojega partnerja, tri ali več pa...se redkokdaj zgodi, saj vsi vedo, da jih nekaj že imaš in je lažje najti prostor za dve, kot za šest. :D

V tem trenutku je v moji omari 15 majhnih in 18 velikih skodelic, 2 XXL skodelice, 1 mini skodelica in 3 posode za kosmiče in zdaj ugotovi, koliko ljudi živi tukaj? Dva. :D In skoraj vsaka skodelica ima svojo zgodbo...

KAKO NAREDITI ENOSTAVNO PLUTOVINASTO TABLO // HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE BULLETIN BOARD

SLO

Obstaja beseda ali poved, ki jo velikokrat izrečeš? Jaz se nisem zavedala vse do včeraj. Eno poved res izrečem zelo pogosto, skoraj vsakič ko sem v kakšni trgovini. "Ne kupiti tega, to lahko narediš sam!" Moja sestra in mama ob tem obrneta oči okrog, ampak kaj, če je res. Prva stvar, ki jo naredim, ko si nekaj zaželim je to, da preverim, če bi lahko kaj takega naredila sama. Toliko stvari lahko naredimo sami veliko ceneje in tako prihranimo kar nekaj denarja. 

QUOTE ON A CANVAS | DIY

What is the difference between the house/apartment and a home? The difference is in these little things around us, that we love and makes us happy and comfortable. "A home is made of bricks and beams, a home is built of love and dreams." We moved to current apartment exactly a year ago and since then I've been trying to turn it into a home. I'm still a student (I hope only for 2 more months), so I don't have much money to decorate the place as I want to. That's why I love DIY projects! With a little time and effort you can make amazing things! One thing that I've wanted to do for a long time is to decorate the empty wall behind my desk with some photos and printed or painted quotes.

MY SKETCHBOOK - TRAVEL TO ITALY | architecture

We had a field trip in our 3rd year at University, but it wasn't an excursion like any other. We went there to sketch the beautiful Italy. I was so nervous. It was a first time that we went out to sketch some real buildings out and we had to do it in 5 minutes. Professor was walking around, correcting us and I was so afraid that my hands were shaking when I tried to draw my first line very carefully. You can imagine how did my first pilasters look like :D Drawing a sketch after sketch I finally realized that slow and careful motions don't bring good results. After a week I learned so much - I was confident and I was able to finish a sketch in 5 min. :D I'm not saying that I can perfectly sketch now, but for sure I learned a lot and I'm happy that I did.

HOW TO REUSE OLD DRAWERS | home

This is not a DIY post, but still, you will have to do this by yourself. Last time I showed you, what I did with an old wooden drawer, but I have a lot of old drawers in my room. I had an old wooden desk a few years ago and when I got a new desk, the older one wasn't in any use, so I put it away, but I kept 7 wooden drawers. I thought is too bad to destroy them. One of them became a bed tray / lap desk (DIY in other post here) and the other 6 I'm using for organizing my things.

TWO OPEN AND CONNECTED AREAS | architecture

The Holidays are over, but I would like to go back for a while on the Christmas eve. This was the day when my project was published in a 'Delo in dom' magazine. This project is actually one of 25 different projects designed by architecture students from our university. It is some sort of competition where people send applications with their house/flat plans and a description of their wishes. The theme this year was attic apartments in a collaboration with Velux - roof windows and blinds company.
