New Home Inspiration
I'm starting to pull together some images that can help me nail down some definite decorating ideas for my new home. I have consulted the pages of VTWonen first, it is one of my top five favorite magazines in the world so where else should I turn as I begin my decorating journey? Here are some images from their magazine that I've collected as inspiration.
When I'm inspired by something, I don't copy it -- that's too boring -- but I do translate it into something original and authentic, something that fits my personality and lifestyle. That's how inspiration should work, right? I can already see that my new home will be filled with lots of soft color but I also plan to add some drama so it's not a pastel playground because too much of a good things feels too sticky sweet to me. My goal is to decorate very feminine modern with some healthy tension thrown in to make it fun. And I want the home to feel very light and bright, but also warm and welcoming -- not like a hospital but like a home should feel - cherished, loving, full of creativity and energy.
See anything that you'd like to translate and do in your home?

I so wish we could get VtWonen in the states, I always grab it when I am overseas. Can't wait to see how your new place progress's.
I'm really excited to see what you do with your new space! Must be so thrilling and freeing to be in a place you plan to stay for a long time!
as you are moving soon, let me give you this very useful shop-adress: www.einza.de sells colours. They do high quality, in a very large range and are cheaper than the usual Baumarkt and will sell to professional painters as well as to you and me.

5 litres of high quality indoor paint start at about 20 euros, depending on the intensity of the chosen colour. 'Lack' starts at 18 euros for half a litre - exactly in your chosen shade too. I just loved their range.
I've just redone my living room you see. I had my wallpaper shipped from England, as this was 22 quid a roll (the same Graham & Brown would have been 64 € in Germany...).

Do you knwo the name or where I can find the wallpaper grey in the last picture?
