House Renovation Series - The Living Room

When we moved here the living room looked like on the photos below. I liked: the fireplace, huge windows and massage chair.

I hated all the drapes that covered most of the windows. And I wasn't really happy with all the orange and yellow.

BEFORE

First I removed all the drapes and painted the windows white. I made bookshelves that now contain most of my books. Coffee table is also a DIY. I painted an old school desk that I found in the basement.

I also painted some other furniture and walls white.

Macedonia - Krushevo and Macedonium

At the end of summer last year I visited Macedonia. We visited Krushevo - the highest town in Balkans. It is a very special place with its beautiful views, old town center and monument named Macedonium.

I love this page.

House Renovation Series - My Wardrobe

When I moved here I got these two brown wardrobes with sliding doors as a place to keep my clothes. I hated them, because of the small sliding doors I was able to see only 40 cm of my clothes at once. There was also not enough space for everything.

This were the photos on the opposite wall.

BEFORE

As soon as I was able to I designed new ceiling high built in wardrobe.

AFTER

Yes, I've hung the first page of my first scientific paper and a photo of immunostained embryonic stem cells - my PhD work:-))

The hallway just went from dark and narrow to bright and spacious. Im still surprised by the illusion of space and the light the huge mirror brings in. When I was arranging clothes in my new space I discovered many items I forgot to have. Its much easier to get dressed in the mornings because now I can see all my clothes:-)

Carpe Diem,
