this one is my favourite of the finalists. love how vintage and modern melt together. very vivid looking home with a lot of nice details.

well, i have exactly THIS shelf and it is still packed cuz i never used it. i could put it on ebay but i live in germany and i have zero experience with shipping to USA.
i fear this would be very high shipping costs. but if you care you can get in touch with me.

or hang a large painting over the entire wall and use the alcove for hiding secret stuff or any bulk...

I'd personally put some indirect lighting in there so that you just see the light but not the source of it...

...then I could imagin to put any collection in there for example. such as
-vases in colored glass (they'd go well with the indirect light)
-framed photographs that lean onto the back wall. in several layers maybe
-any decor items...

but i'd also get a tiny telly in there. i have a tiny one and i love its tinyness more than any wide screen comfort. but that's me and my thing for vintage 70s gadgets and my bohemian style...

good luck, show results! it seems to be a nice place.

I hate laminate floor generally!! MAJOR DESPISE ;) !!!!!
Here in Germany almost everyone has it.
People even put it over vintage hardwood floor instead of sanding out the beautiful, warm and natural wood material.
Sure laminate floor is a clean way to renovate but I would be very unhappy to have to live with it. It's plastic. It's a fake. A photo of a tree cut to pieces.
I hate the sound it makes under the feet and the way it looks after a couple of months in use.

I THINK LAMINATE AND INGRAIN WALLPAPER ARE THE MOST OVERRATED HOME ELEMENTS OF OUR SOCIETY.

a short link to the home where the above oic is from, please?

"I just love this picture of Ramonah's bf's flat."

His sister painted the walls like that and I bought and hung up that lampshade.

Happy to be on your site -
(let me know if there is AT Germany or -Europe.)

best wishes,
Ramonah!

i think most of the problems with houseguests come from hosts
being too polite and unable to clarify their borders and own needs to make this work.
if someone would come and waste my place all over i think
i would not hesitate on putting them into a hotel or such.
sure they'd be pissed but recall: they started it.

i would try to make things clear before someone comes and
think they can behave like locusts and other vermin.

from my own experience i can say
this can be tough even if they behave nice, like
bring you gifts,
help you with groceries,
clear up the bedroom...

although everything was just fine i felt a little awkward
throughout the whole time (talking bout 1 week)
cuz my 2 visitors weren't so close friends.
it was nice and we even laughed a lot but it wasn't all the same wavelength it seems.
and we hung out a lot together. i had time and i wanted it but it still was awkward.
so i quickly started to miss having time and space for only myself.
and i was glad when they were gone.

but i would still do it again.
but maybe next time my houseguests should be people i feel more connected with.

(and of course, no junkies, locusts, cycos, etc.)
