In my previous post I described a dream makeover to the appartment I live in now but didn't mention anything abt the current design - only said it changes a lot since the people change regularly, too. Moreover, didn't wanna post pictures or so from the space I share with my roomies. It is their home, too - not only mine. However, I can and will share pictures from my room. I thought I should show how interior design and my ideas show in real. I'm not of course able to do makeovers or anything like that in real but little tiny things are fun, too and might change the look of room completely. I love to do little DIY projects!

Like you could already see in the makeover and for sure can see in my room, I looooooooooooooooove black and white. With different kind of shapes and patterns, the space stays still interesting even though it doesn't have lots of colour.
In my most recent, bit bigger DIY project I only needed white and black paper, postcards, scissors, tape, pens and patience. I love to travel but this didn't show yet lots in my room. So, I got an idea to add this somehow to this project. On the sides I put postcards I've bought from the places I've visited and the names of these cities I wrote behind the different objects. On first one, there is a text "I love". Overall, the whole project took bit more than my usual projects but not longer than couple of hours. And in my opinion, those hours were well spent.

My usual DIY projects are more like painting some shoe boxes or giving some objects new purposes. For example in the next picture you can see a lot of my little projects. First, there is a black n white box with white dots - this used to be a pink shoe box. Second, one part of the desk is painted black. It used to be covered with lots of paint marks: from yellow to blue, green to red. It did NOT look good. The fabric with stars is a pillow case, btw! I didn't need it anymore but instead of throwing it away, gave it a new purpose. I do that a lot. Third, the garbage can had some disney pictures on it and this didn't really represent my style anymore..... Didn't wanna use money on a new one so took nice plastic bag, taped it nicely and voilà!
There are also many little boxes and stuff that I've just painted. One time, for example, just got an idea to use toilet rolls. Painted them (surprise surprise) black and white, glued together and used as "storage" for little light things like paperclips. However, paint isn't only thing I use. Another place where I've used pillow case for different purpose is on little "nightstand". Is made of wood and is same light blue as the DIY project I introduced earlier (both are self made.....). However, on this one paper would've been more difficult and again had a nice pillow case that I didn't need anymore....
So, this is how my room looks like NOW. It changes all the time as I get new ideas every week. I am quite happy with it now, though, so might be it stays like this for a while now. Moreover, won't have lots of time for some weeks as studying will keep me very busy. However, I will keep posting some DIY projects later on and share my ideas....
