Apartment Sneak Peek – Bunting Flags



When I started to think about what my apartment should look like, I wanted it to have the feeling of celebrating life. As if it was always ready for a tea party. Light, inviting, friendly, cheerful. Yesterday I noticed that I suddenly found myself in a room, that matched with my blog. This is everything I always wanted, but never dared to think that it could be in my life. I´m more than happy.









I know that to some it might just seem like ordinary bunting flags hanging from a window. To me it´s much more a symbol of growing into the person that I always wanted to be. Living the sweet life, making things with my own hands, creating a save space to invite friends and to relax. I feel like this is the place where I can really bring that children book to life. Every day I am grateful for what I have right now.






When I went to my local bookstore on Saturday, I thought I would scream with joy. One single book on top of the knitting section, waiting for me patiently. The sensation I felt after seeing that they have translated the Zakka book into German! Maybe that is the start of a journey into Japanese crafting! Could it be that after all these years, the cute and minimalistic style is finally coming to my country? I don´t know, I won´t expect it, but even this little is just wonderful.


Sending hugs to you!

  8. SNAP! I have had buntings in my bedroom for a little while now! But only completed them last month XD Your fabric ones are obviously much better than my paper and twine ones .... >u< They're lovely! ^^

  9. They are really easy to make. Takes 3-4 hours. I was lucky, I had all the fabrics already at home. I want to make small ones out of paper and hang them on my doors, so that people know where the bathroom, the bedroom and the living room is. Thank you!!!

  17. I am inlove with the light in your apartment. The house I live in with my in-laws have become dull and dusty from their lack of cleaning. I am trying to live vicariously through you, I am happy when you are happy. Ever since you posted the video of your apartment some time ago, I sometimes look out at nowhere and imagine myself in a house like yours and be completely at peace.


    I am looking forward for more lovely personal posts from you, darling. :)

  20. Great post! I’ve thought about starting my own design blog for years but always had some sort of excuse stopping me. Hopefully the inspiration sticks!
