{Hallway Take Two}
Okay so I want to quickly show you my new table from Octopus (came last week) and the two chairs from Car Moebel that I've now unpacked.
(room is a complete mess, i'm moving furniture all day today and cleaning)
(mirror is not in final position, i just needed to get it out of the way. planning to hang it over the sofa. china cabinet is crammed with everything from my kitchen until the shelves are installed over the sink.)
I will reupholster the seats and paint them either glossy gray, white, plum (fun!), or I may paint them white and paint the centers (where the decorative part is) a pretty color (or two) to make them more visually appealing. I love these chairs. I only ordered two because I was going to put a bench along the wall and the chairs on the other side but it looked all wrong due to the dimensions of the space (it's a living room/dining room combo) so the bench is now in my hallway! :) I just ordered two more chairs so now I'll have a set of 4 for this table.
(with cushions)
(with cushions stacked, room for plants)
Yay! I like this a little better... I love the shade of green on this bench and the wrought iron base... It's pretty and I can 'Fall' it up by adding the cushions and 'Spring' it up by stacking them into a new pile and adding plants and flowers. Inside of the tins I've stored shoe polish, paperwork, one is a sewing box, etc.
I'm REALLY happy with this hallway.

I'm really wanting to move into a new space and start from scratch, I think it would be SO fun!
I have a mirror from Home Depot or maybe Lowe's (of all places!) that is almost identical in form. It's in my bathroom and is perfect for my dual vanity.
Love seeing the progress; it must feel so good to turn the place into a real home!
The mirrors are astonishing. The one is the hallway is a wonderful idea.
And now I have a question: where is the chain of lights over the mirror from?
Best greetings from Kati
Your home looks absolutely amazing and beautiful! Where did you get that table? It's so cute! I've been looking for one just like yours for weeks now! The chairs are so beautiful!
And I love your hallway!
I'm just dipping my toes in the whole decorating lark and I'm all about gray and lilac, pale blue and green of late... although from what I have gathered from your posts I'm not alone, its like a virus going around :)
Anyhow, I really love what you are doing with your flat...
Greetings from your European neighbor in Croatia :)
Tracy - Yes, I'm considering plum for my chairs in the living room, but I may not... I'm still thinking about it! I also have this idea to do each chair a different color. I have to finalize an idea soon!
Laurin - The bag was purchased in Hannover at a shop called Gisy (http://www.schuhfinder.de) the brand of the bag is Liebeskind Berlin.
Ann - In the boxes I keep shoe polish, lint brush, a mini sewing kit, extra mittens, socks for guests, etc. Sure I can take a photo of the pillows on my sofa for you. Be on the look out for those next week. :) Once I get the living room in place I'll photograph the whole thing.
Kati - The lights over the mirror are from a local shop, they didn't come with a box or anything so I don't know the brand, I'm sorry!
Anon - The table is from Octopus in Hamburg.
I hope I've answered everyone's questions. If I missed yours, please just chime in to this discussion and ask again. :)

Everything looks wonderful. I love the colors and the well edited mix of pieces. I think you've inspired me to spruce up our back entry way this weekend. :)
I know it's temporary, but I like the mirror at the end of the table. Hope you enjoying a nice weekend in your newly furnished home. ~Suzanne
i have come to ur decor blog many a times but never realised there was another called haus maus...i love this blog so much!!!!your place is so good! i love to decorate my home with little things that u have collected thro travelloing many places...
just for the info...if you happen to visit denmark sometime do visit this shop called Søstrene Grene and Inside Living. These two shops are so different from each other. The first one is for all the small things and very cool place for artists.
inside living is one more place u can spend hours together and one can get totally confused as to what to shop bcoz every single piece is so good!
take care....keep writing!
regards,
Veda
Hope you are having so much fun in your beautiful home! YAY!~

ps I need your address....please? :)
You must miss this place when you go to the USA!
just spent an afternoon break from gardening and cleaning house and finally spending and enjoying a day at home with a cup of coffee and flickering through your blog...
its been too long since i've spent time getting caught up on blogs and readings and seeing what everyone is up too...
but it looks like you're definitely making germany home.
alright though... i simply have to ask. where did you get the garderobe for the coats? i've been looking and looking for one just like that and not finding what i want... in white.
and if you tell me it's ikea, i'll scream... because i could have sworn they had something like that (maybe once upon a time) and yet this poor little heart just can't find what she's looking for...
hope you have a lovely sunday!
ange.
I know it is a bit late to ask...but where did you get the bench in your hallway from?
Always enyojing your blog,
Ada
