Therefore, I want to decorate our guest room as inviting as possible.
Because guests are using the room only sometimes, we would like to create a space where you can sleep, as well as, read, and work when you feel like it.
I dream that I could find the perfect writing desk that would be sufficiently small, and antiques, but I think I'll have to settle for a less expensive solution so far.
We also need a room for the books that we have too many. Ikea offers a wide range of options for a small library room, but I want to stick to the nostalgic look, even though it would happen at the expense of a shelf space...
I'm trying to come up with a solution on how to get into a small space sensible and good-looking desk where I could organize a large space on the computer screen, keyboard, etc.
I've noticed that children's furniture are less tedious and boring, and more what I am looking for.. so this is what I am thinking of using!
This would do a great table for computer screen and all that I need for a work, and it goes perfectly together with similar one, that comes without tabletop, and is just shelf, similar to this.
I would have three of them side by side to create a feeling of little library.
Must see if I would be able to glue wallpaper to the back wall of the shelf, it would be great looking instead of white boring laminate.
Since all furniture I have chosen seem to be white, I would add a little color with great fabric from Roberto Cavalli, that I bought already couple of years a go from Helsinki. It has red, yellow, and little touches of gold, sounds very gypsy like, but it has actually eastern feeling, and very luxurious look. I would make pillowcases from that.
I have saved it for right place, and I think this is it. I want to leave space for colors, and thinking, and creativity, this is why it is all looking so boringly white.. I do have a tendency of adding a little color here and there, until things end up looking like Circus, I love colors.
To outer seamline in pillowcases I would like to use this kind of "pompom" decoration, I have always loved it, yes, I know it can be little tasteless, but they are my pillowcases and I want them to have a taste of humor as well as nice finish.
This particulary one, is good to sleep in it. It is long enough and easy to use, and it really feels like proper bed.
I liked it.
To avoid too artificial, and shiny feeling, I try to find lamp that is real antiques and adds a little spirit to my otherwise too much Ikea like room. Maybe something like this.. I love it even if it is little ower the top, and too big to my little room.. thinking this more as an inspiration photo!
I found this one from another blog, I really like this one!
