Happy Sunday

Seven days, seven photos:


1. Travelling in yellow



2. Refreshing summer cocktail



3. Custom order from California: 4 meter nautical fabric garland



4. Spent two days in Berlin for a workshop

DIY: No-Sew Summer Curtains



Our bedroom is decorated in red, black and white with red velvet Ikea curtains.
Those red velvet curtains are warm and cozy during fall and winter, but for the summer months i wanted something ligther, preferrably white.


The thing with white however is that it is quite see-through, which is a real problem when you're living in the middle of a major city surrounded by traffic lights and such.
Then i remembered that I've had this bale of fabric; thick and solid white fabric with a beautiful black and gray floral print. You won't believe the next part: i purchased it a few years ago at Ikea for... wait for it....25 cents!
