Bedroom Light


Pin It

"Here comes the sun, little darling... Here comes the sun... It's alright (Tananananana...)" is the first thing that comes to my mind. A song to celebrate the sun. After 4 weeks of really dark skies, after yesterday's snow, came a little sunshine to brighten up my day. And my mood (now that I have the fever, I might use the cold remedy tea sooner than I expected). I had no time to prepare anything with a Christmas touch, as I was already running late for work, so I just snapped some pics with the light slipping on the bed cover and onto the wall.




On my nightstand (a re-purposed, moved around the house powder blue Ikea Lack coffee table) there is all the goodness in the world. The stuff that dreams are made of: a children's book with wonderful illustrations by a Romanian artist (entitled "The Day That Mr. Sleep Ran Away") - check!, a pocket-size handmade journal with red polka-dot fabric and coptic bound in turquoise wax thread (from the days when my friend Ana and me were only fantasizing about opening our Etsy shop) - check!, tap dancing metal plates - check! and an old handmade bookmark - check!




Just looking at these pics makes me smile - who knows when are we going to enjoy another sunshine day like this? The weather prognosis is dreadful, so all I've got left is the pattern the light makes when it comes crawling onto the crochet pillow and the orange bed sheet. Note to self: need to change them soon and figure something else for the upcoming Christmas celebration...




Opposite the bed is that one DIY project that never bores or disappoints me - my beloved purple plum accent wall and the vintage cabinet I inherited from my grandfather. I've got my childhood turntable and my favorite vinyls in there, plus a plethora of matryoskas and other ethnic dolls collected over time. Far in the back, the Burberry style cardboard boxes. I already grew tired of that look, so I need to paint them soon!

    1. Tina, thank you so much for the lovely words, I truly appreciate your support (and I need it just as much as you do). The name Meeha Meeha is what all my friends call me ("Miha" is short for my name "Mihaela" and I spelled it "Meeha" so that you pronounce it correctly in English)

    1. Christine, it looks like you had a wonderful walk with the boys, even with the wind and all:) The bedroom gets morning light because the window faces East but in my parents home the kitchen and dining room face West and they always have nice evening light, filtered through the shades. I'm sure your home looks great glowing in the afternoon :)

  3. You have such lovely light seeping into your bedroom. I just love how colorful the whole room is too. The crochet pillow reminds me that I need to get working on that project. Probably after the holidays since I've got some Christmas gift crafting to do.

    1. Thank you so much for visiting, your wonderful words put a smile on my face! I love the sunlight and I bought the apartment especially because it received lots of light until late in the afternoon. Many times I think my room are too colorful but I can't help myself (and it's more cheerful this way!)

    1. Norwegian cheese, you are so funny, Lisa! If I had the money, my whole home would looks like norwegian cheese, because I love retro design and color very much :)
