Carpet IKEA Stockholm and nomination

Yes!! We are on or way starting to remake one of the rooms in the basement to a guestroom. I will share before pictures hopefully soon and probably with some DIY. So it is about time to collect inspiration from the fab blogs and Pinterest out there, to get an idea how it can look like in the end. We will need to redo the walls and give them a nice finish. So it will take some time before we are ready for sure, but no hurry really. But until then, I can collect and dream in between all the construction work.
I has always liked the IKEA carpet "Stockholm". After all the inspiration below, I think I will go for this one in the end. 

Pictures, 1: Trendspanarna 2: Helt Enkelt 3: Dwell

Picture number two from Helt Enkelt, is not far away from what we can get in the end. Because we will probable need a sofa that you can redo to a bed. Hmm, yes this has to be tagged as To Do for sure!

PS. A little bird whispered in my ear that there is a nomination at Apartment Therapy for blogs and one category covers DIY. If you are getting inspiration from Make-Living, I would be super happy if you put a vote on me here!

 

Take care!

Guest room

Today I am searching a little inspiration for our guest room that we will start with some time later. Yes I know I was writing about other projects yesterday, and this is also one that might happen during 2013... But it is always good to start collecting inspiration right? And what is then better than Pinterest to get all this inspiration?! You find me here at Pinterest if you have not been there yet. If you don´t have an account yet it is a very convenient way of collecting pictures of your particular interests.
We will have a small guest room in our basement, the house is 170 square meters and then we have additional 50 in the basement. I am thinking of a sofa that you also can have as a bed. Then very light colors as the picture below as it is a basement that might get very dark.

Quite clever to use a ladder as in the second picture to place personal belonging at, don´t you think?
