Hi everybody! Annie here…

I thought I'd pop in and answer some of the questions:

We have been building our bookshelves since we moved into our first apartment here in Hamburg. By now we have figured out the best lengths for the horizontal parts and the most pleasing proportions. If anyone would like me to explain how to build them, just let me know. It is really quick and they can be made to fit almost any rectangular space you have.

I have to say it took me a while to get used to the concept of a very small bedroom, but by now I am convinced of the idea; and if you think about it, children need more space than us to unfold their creativity and it is a great thing to grow up having a kingdom of one's own.

Ok, now the lights:

The lights in the dining room are from »Tobias Grau« and the lights are called »Oh 7« (Bronze):

Kitchen light > George (also from Tobias Grau):

The funny lamp with the sprouting branches was bought in some furniture shop in Hamburg – I have found some similar ones online.

Curtain rod in the bedroom…I didn't quite understand the question.

By now we have actually put up several paintings. Truth is, when the photos were taken, we had just finished renovating, so none of the paintings had been hung yet. Also, the kitchen counter area was not finished on the day of the shoot. We now have a glass surface behind the counter which looks pretty good!

As for the colours, I will have to go and find my notes on them, then I can give you more info on that. Give me a day or two, ok?

Well, then, hope that helped a bit.
Bye for now
Annie
