Bedroom Changes

As I mentioned last weekend, I started re-arranging the bedroom whilst dreaming of the ultimate bedroom solution. We have a rather large rectangular bedroom which is in dire need of upgrading, but there are always some other projects that get priority. Never the less, I want to make some changes while I wait for new wardrobe, floor, lighting, etc. etc.  Suddenly I had the idea of more or less breaking the room in two with bringing a wall halfway into the room and creating a walk-in-closet area behind this wall. I had more or less decided this would be the way to proceed once we start the work and explained in great detail the plans to the Professor who normally has no vision for these projects... He didn't grumble too much as he knows these plans may change a "million" times before we get around to the work... 

I know the picture over the bed is too low, but it worked before I rearranged the room. Brick walls are a nuisance when it comes to hanging up pictures...!

Yesterday afternoon we took a quick trip to our local shop, Homesense, and suddenly the Professor got a "vision" when he saw a screen wall for sale. He convinced me this could be an alternative to putting up a permanent wall as "you rearrange everything every 3 months anyway". The screen was a mere £100 so we got it in the car and went home.
To my surprise, I love the lace like effect and the way the sun filters through the window blinds and the screen. It actually gives a sortof a Middle Eastern feel to the room.
Hmm... that is an idea, might need some more accessories,
me thinks!

So, I like it!

At least for now.

Till I change my mind.

  2. Wow..den skilleveggen ser skjempefin ut.... så morsomt med noe som er litt anderledes og som du sier, så er den jo lett å flytte på.

    Håper du får en fin uke som kommer.

  4. Hei Mette og tusen takk for en veldig hyggelig hilsen fra deg! Lekkert skjermbrett du har kjøpt, da..vakker farge!! Så heldig du er som bor i England, der finnes det masse fint på auksjoner og loppemarkede har jeg lagt merke til når jeg følger med på BBC Lifestyle. Ønsker deg også en flott uke, klem fra Jorunn

  5. Hei Mette - og TUSEN TAKK for koselig kommentar hos meg.

    Du kan tro jeg er spent på resultatet.
    Avisa kommer ut i slutten av neste uke (tror jeg), og link blir lagt ut så snart den kommer.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOW!!! Lekker skillevegg!!! Du må jo ha ett kjempestort soverom (hvertfall i forhold til mitt) ;).

    Ha en flott mandagskveld!!!

    Hilsen

  6. I love it, Mette! I'm going to have to check out our Homesense here and see whether they're stocking the same item! Very very nice! Hope you had a good weekend ... we're still on our Thanksgiving weekend, but the glorious late summer weather yesterday has been replaced by persistent rain today ... good thing we had our celebrations last night!

  7. Hi Sarah,
    Good luck with the screen hunt. The thing with Homesense (at least here in the UK) is that you never know what they have, and if you see something you like - get it as it may just be a one off... There is a TK Max in Edinburgh close to our flat, but they don't really have many nice things. Seems the better stuff is left here in the south east!

    happy thanksgiving to you all!
    luv mette

  8. Å den skilleveggen så flott ut!
    Fine bilder:)
    Du spurte om hvorfor vi må måle opp boligene; det er nok for at likningsmyndighetene skal sikre at vi betaler riktig sum i formueskatt, og at ingen sitter på større hus enn de skatter for.
    Er ikke helt sikker, men tror det er noe i den dur. Håper vi slipper å måle hvert år!
