Keine 7 Sachen

I can not post anything for 7 Sachen today, because I didn't do anything.  May sound sad to some of you, but I had a fantasically productive day on my computer, working on various design projects.  I am still sitting here now:

Heute kann ich keine 7 Sachen posten weil ich nicht gemachts habe.  Hoert sich vielleicht ein bischen traurig an. Oder? Ist es aber nicht! Da ich viel an meiner Design Arbeit gemacht habe.  Ich bin immer noch dabei:

See you soon!

Bis spaeter!

newest animated photos crush - Jaime Martinez

Lately, I've been seeing some great animated photographs all over the web. 

My first crush was Jamie at From Me To You blog.

...and just recently I found my second crush, Jaime Martinez.

Here are some of his still shots, so you'll have to go over to his website brightlightbrightlight to see them in 3D action. Go now and look around.  I promise you're in for a treat!

3D room fun

I've been spending too much time on My Deco. 

Here's my first project.  My potential home office...? Maybe...

I'm still learning the program and some stuff is not exactly what I imagined, like the ceiling colour is supposed to be white, the large desk top is supposed to look like glass and there should probably be more stuff on the empty shelves ;)  But it's just for fun and learning purposes. 

 

More projects to come,

keeping it cool under pressure

I don't know how this woman kept her cool during this live commercial sometime in the 50's.  There's a malfunction with this new refrigerator they're showing off, but it doesn't affect her composure at all.  I'm amazed - she's amazing.  In future, when things don't go as planned or something unexpected happens, I will remember this and carry on with grace (hopefully!).



Thanks to DIYLife for sharing.

moodboard fun

A while ago, a friend, who was moving into a new apartment, asked me to help her get inspired.  As you can imagine, I took to the task like a moth to a flame.  I do this kind of stuff for my school work all the time, but this time it was for a real person, so it was just that much more exciting.  She mainly needed help with the bedroom and open living/dining space.

Her wishes included:
- using green and purple
- creating a space that was relaxing (yoga studio feel) and comfortable but modern at the same time
- and keeping that feeling throughout the apartment
- nothing that involves too many alterations to the space because it's a rental and probably a temporary space.

Here's what I came up with in the end:

I had so much fun doing this.  I hope these will be useful tools for her to achieve the home she really desires.  I wish I was across the ocean, to do all her shopping!  

What do you think?  You like, you don't like ... feel free to share your thoughts.

see you soon,

wall project revealed

You may remember I mentioned on my last 7 Sachen that I was working on a secret craft project.  Well I'm ready to reveal it to you here and now.

First I must explain that I haven't put that much effort into decorating our apartment here in Frankfurt since we know we will only be living here for a little while longer.  But my dear friend suggested that no matter how temporary this place is, I should use still use this space to try creative things and make it the best it can be.  This made some sense to me, especially since I am studying interior design and this could give me some fun practice to turn a space I don't feel so emotionally attached to into something wonderful and special in it's own way.

My friend (whose eye I trust blindly) and I have many small projects planned for this space, which I promise to reveal more about soon enough, but for now, here is a peak into my first creative exercise for this space:

 So my dears...what do you think?

This is a corner of the wall above the TV.  It is very bland and bare, as are most of the walls in here.  I got the inspiration to do a little diy art project at one of my favourite blogs, IDA Interior Lifestyle.  What it is exactly are slices of toilet paper rolls I've been collecting, which I stapled together to create this curvy shape.  Then I hung it on the wall. 

I'm quite pleased with the outcome, although I keep adding slices to it here and there.  But it's almost perfect and I couldn't wait any longer to share.

Any fun diy home decor projects you'd like to share?

Happy weekend and see you soon,

xoxo
