  • It’s chaos around here at the moment and our dining room has descended into chaos. There are bits of paint, putty and broken glass everywhere as I’ve finally made a start on overhauling our windows. I’ve almost finished repairing one of them but with a whopping 68 windows in our apartment, it may take a while until I’m completely done! Day 10 of #myhousethismonth is Look Up! #suyhome #myspaceanddecor #ihavethisthingwithhome #altbauliebe #myhomevibe #sassyhomestyle #mydiymydecor #interiordetails #livecolorfully #colourfulhomes #realhomesofinstagram #myperiodhomestyle #interiorboom #couchstyle #mygorgeousgaff #ahouselikethis #inspire_me_home #myhshome #mystylishspace #interior4inspo #simplystyleyourspace #mycolourfulinterior #howIhue #myinteriortoday #heyhomehey #inmydomaine #myinteriorsquares #myseasonalrevamp #thiscreativehome
  • Thank you for all of the kind messages about my weekend mishaps. I know that everything on Instagram always seems so perfect but we’re definitely not so there’s not much point pretending that we are! As you probably guessed from my last post, I’m slightly more stressed than usual. Yes, a few things haven’t gone quite to plan but the main reason I’ve been stressing is because of our annual homeowner meeting which happened yesterday evening. Basically, every year there’s a meeting where things that need doing in the building are discussed and voted upon. We’re really lucky and have lovely neighbours who would all like to improve the building and make changes for the better but… there’s one neighbour who constantly does what he wants and is now suing the rest of us! It’s all rather complicated and probably way too much for an Instagram caption but needless to say the last few weeks have been really stressful. The meeting was really unpleasant and confrontational but at least the majority of the homeowners had similar opinions and we seem to be working towards the same goals. Being sued is a new one for me but hey, it’s definitely a new experience! 😂 #eclecticallymade #inmydomaine #actualinstagramhomes #nesttoimpress #myinteriordecor #livefabulousandfearless #myboldhues #howIhome #FindYourHappyAtHome #realhomesofinstagram #styledupinterior #stylishhomevibes #dailydecordetail #inspire_me_home #greathomestaketime #myeclecticshack #myinteriorsquares #myseasonalrevamp #thiscreativehome #myhouseandhome
  • Here's a dose of Monday morning reality... I fell down the stairs on Saturday and damaged the tendons in my ankle so I’m limping around, we had a lovely bbq with friends on Sunday and I cut my foot (same side as the tendons), dripped blood all over the floor, and am limping even more now. There’s something wrong with our roof and there’s now a huge stain on our kitchen ceiling and I just broke the glass in one of our windows while trying to restore it. Right, I’m off to find a glazier! Do you have any fun Monday plans? #myboldhues #mycolourfulinterior #stylishhomevibes #styledupinterior #interiorboom #sorealhomes #howIhome #myperiodhomestyle #reclaimyourcorner #myeclectichome #sassyhomestyle #Ihavethisthingwithhome #ABMatHome #FindYourHappyAtHome #stopandstaredecor #myDIYmydecor #walltowallstyle #colourcombo  #inspire_me_home #greathomestaketime #myeclecticshack #thiscreativehome #myhouseandhome #myhomeforhp #heyhomehey #myinteriormydecor #spotlightonmyhome
  • There’s a fine line between going bold and losing your decorating mind! Still not too sure what category our guest bathroom makeover falls into… 😂 We already know that we’ll be ripping out everything this room and starting from scratch (hopefully early next year), so we figured why not have a bit of fun until then! What’s the boldest decorating decision you’ve ever made? Day 14 of #myhousethismonth is BOLD! #myboldhues #bathroomdecor #howIhome #allthingsmetric #blackandwhitehome #bathroomsofinstagram #FindYourHappyAtHome #stopandstaredecor #myDIYmydecor #walltowallstyle #sassyhomestyle #currentdesignsituation #geometricwallart #walldesign #monochromehome #monochromestyle #realhomesofinstagram #howImonochrome #styledupinterior #stylishhomevibes #dailydecordetail #inspire_me_home #greathomestaketime #myeclecticshack #myinteriorsquares #myseasonalrevamp #thiscreativehome #myhouseandhome
  • I’m feeling weirdly homesick today so I thought I’d share a throwback pic of one of my favourite parts of our Manchester home. The hallway is why we fell in love with the house in the first place - even though it was painted brown and green at the time (you can swipe to see the before). I still can’t believe how lucky we were with the stained glass panel in the front door, which was missing when we first moved in. While calling local stained glass repair places to get quotes for a new panel, I just happened to speak to a company that had our stained glass in their workshop! It turned out that the tenants who lived in the house before we bought it had damaged the glass and taken it to be repaired. In the meantime, we bought the house and the panel was forgotten about. Such an amazing and lucky coincidence, especially as it had already been repaired and just needed to be fitted! #periodhomesofinstagram #Ihavethisthingwithdoors #inspire_me_home #myhshome #simplystyleyourspace #interior4all #myinteriortoday #styledupinterior #myinteriorsquares #stylishhomevibes #myseasonalrevamp #greathomestaketime #ahouselikethis #myinteriormydecor #spotlightonmyhome #homeinterioruk #doorsofinstagram #renovationproject #myhomestyle #pocketofmyhome #myhomevibe #cornerofmyhome #originalfeatures #periodfeatures #myperiodhomestyle #altbauliebe #realhomesofinstagram #stopandstaredecor #inmydomaine #dailydecordetail
  • If there’s one thing I’ve not been doing much of lately, it’s sleeping! It’s been so warm here lately that the temperature in our bedroom never drops below 28°C. On the plus side, Jan’s face was priceless when he accidentally caught the old lady in the apartment opposite doing some topless sunbathing 🤣 Being warm is one thing but the thunderstorms we seem to be having every evening are another - I’ve never seen anything like it! Last night till around 2 in the morning, there was constant lightning over our house (there’s a pic I took last night in my stories). Apparently, there were over 35k lightning strikes over Berlin and the torrential rain isn’t exactly ideal either, especially as I’ve discovered that some of our windows aren’t as watertight as they should be. 🙈 It’s really quite frightening - am I too old to hide under the duvet? #styleitdark #myboldhues #darksideshow #howImonochrome #monochromehome #banthebeige #altbauliebe #myinteriorsquares #myperiodhomestyle #stylishhomevibes #myseasonalrevamp #myeclecticshack #styledupinterior #apartmenttherapy #greathomestaketime #myhomejournal #storyofmyhome #interiorboom #howIhome #sodomino #sorealhomes #realhomesofinstagram #stopandstaredecor #SUYhome #myperiodhomestyle #stylishhomevibes #myhomevibe #howIhue
  • It's confession time. I'm fussy, indecisive and really particular about keeping things looking perfect. Think I’m exaggerating? It took about 50 samples of turquoise velvet until I found a fabric I was really happy with and, now that I have my dream velvet sofa, I won’t actually let anyone sit on it without covering the seating area with a blanket first because I’m too scared they’ll stain it! 😂🙈 When we have people round for the first time, I’ll pretend to be normal and won’t make them jump off the sofa so I can squeeze a blanket under their bums but it usually means that I’ll be tense and checking for crumbs and stains for the rest of the evening! Please tell me I’m not alone in being weird and over-protective about my furniture! 💙 Day 11 of #myhousethismonth is Sofa so good #banthebeige #myhousethismonth #spotlightonmyhome #myinteriorstyletoday #greathomestaketime #ahouselikethis #myeclecticshack #myinteriorsquares #stylishhomevibes #myseasonalrevamp #styledupinterior #apartmenttherapy #dailyhomeshare #mybombshellhome #thiscreativehome #myhouseandhome #homeinterioruk #altbauliebe #interiorboom #sorealhomes #myhomeforhp #mycolourfulinterior #myinteriormydecor #inspire_me_home #myhshome #simplystyleyourspace #interior4all #myinteriortoday
  • Can you guess how old our kitchen is? We gave it a full-on makeover last year which included painting all of the cabinets, installing a backsplash, building the floating shelves and installing new appliances. We even painted the washing machine! While we were replacing the worktops, wedelivery original delivery tag which included the date - it was installed in 1985! Not too shabby for an almost 35-year-old kitchen. Ultimately, we would like to replace the kitchen and probably even move it to a different room. For now though, we probably should focus on finishing a few of the projects we’ve already started. As mad at it sounds, we were super lucky to have a kitchen in our apartment when we moved in because homes in Germany usually don’t come with kitchens - even if you’re renting! Totally bonkers, right?
