Scandinavian Chic: Before and after: Indie's room is finished! / Indie sitt rom er ferdig!

Before and after: Indie's room is finished! / Indie sitt rom er ferdig!

It's been a goal for me to finish Indie's room before the baby Stella arrives, and I just made it!! Yay! Since this is a toddlers room and not a nursery, my main focus has been to make a room that's fun to play in. However, the little nook above is for me. I'm completely in love with the bamboo chair and love the little extra glam with the gold pillows, and the child friendly zebra fleece throw (had to add a little zebra!!).

Click on the images to get super high resuloution!

Det har vært en målsetning for meg å gjøre ferdig rommet til Indie før den baby Stella kommer, og jeg rakk det akkurat!! Wohoo! Siden dette er rommet til en smårolling og ikke en baby, har fokuset mitt vært å lage et rom som det skal være moro å leke i. Men, det lille hjørnet på bildet ovenfor er definitivt for meg! Som dere vet ELSKER jeg bambusstolene mine, og måtte ha et lite glam-element med gullputene, og selvfølgelig litt barnevennlig zebra (vi må jo ha litt zebra??). Teppet, gardinene (70% avslag) og putene (70% avslag) er fra KID og kostet slikk og ingenting.

KLIKK på bildene for stor versjon!

The Za Za Zing fabric bought from It's Sew Sweet has been my main source of inspiration, and all the colors of the room can be found in this pattern.

Za-za zing-stoffet, kjøpt fra It's Sew Sweet har vært inspirasjonskilden for rommet, og alle fargene kommer herfra.

The crib is a regular IKEA crib that can be turned into a toddlers bed easily. The bed spread is made from the za za zing fabric and was a suprisingly easy DIY. The fabulous LOVE poster is from Jennifer at Made by Girl.

Sengen er en vanlig IKEA-seng som lett kan gjøres om til "større barn seng". Dynetrekket er laget av stoffet ovenfor og var overraskende enkelt! Den fantastiske LOVE-posteren er fra Jennifer med bloggen Made by Girl.

The dresser is vintage, and cost next to nothing. The lamp is also a revamped vintage lamp, lamp shade from IKEA (with a little DIY). More about the lamps at the bottom of the post. The butterfly drawing was given to me by this quirky Norwegian artist about 10 years ago. Both frames are IKEA Ribba. There is something missing in this part of the room, though, and I'm thinking of adding a growth chart on the left side of the dresser.

Kommoden er brukt, og ifølge brukthandleren ikke verdt mer enn beslagene, hehe... :) Lampen er også brukt, men har fått seg en omgang, med ny skjerm og litt spray. Mer om fremgangsmåten nederst i innlegget. Plakaten på veggen er fra Kristiansand Dyrepark og om Politimester Bastian. Sommerfugltegningen fikk jeg av en eksentrisk norsk kunstner for ca 10 år siden. Begge rammene er IKEA Ribba. Jeg føler at denne delen av rommet er litt "tom"? Planlegger å få opp en måletavle / growthchart her etterhvert :)

Martha Stewart pom poms, Jennifer's LOVE poster and the custom bed spread. :)

Pom poms fra Martha Stewart i taket, Jennifer's LOVE poster og den hjemmelagede dynetrekket. :)

This is the main play area of the room. A revamped IKEA Svala table and chairs (more about the DIY process of the chairs here), another vintage lamp, some DIY artwork on the walls, my old chair (the purple one), and some spray painted baskets.

Dette er lekeområdet på rommet. Et malt og trukket om IKEA Svala bord og stoler (mer om DIY-prosessen med stolene og omtrekkingen her), enda en brukt lampe, litt gjør-det-selv-kunst på veggene, min gamle stol (lilla), og noen spraymalte kurver, også fra KID.

These pics have been framed in the Ribba frame from IKEA, and are pages from an old ABC. The drawings are just amazing! :)

Disse bildene har blitt rammet inn i Ribba-rammer fra IKEA, og er sider fra en gammel ABC. Tegningene er bare nydelige! :)

After:

This is one of the easiest DIYs I've ever done. Ever since I found the fantastic Molotov grafitti spray paint from Oslo Kunstmateriell, things that involve painting are just SO much fun!! Took about 20 minutes to spray all three chairs and the table - ONE coat is enough!!

Dette er en av de enkleste DIYene jeg noen gang har gjort. Etter jeg fant den fantastiske Molotov grafitti-sprayen fra Oslo Kunstmateriell, har ting som har med maling å gjøre vært utrolig moro! Det tok omtrent 20 min å spraye alle tre stolene og bordet - det holder med ett strøk!!

After:

I really love this plum shade. Also spray painted of course....

Jeg elsker den lilla plommefargen denne stolen er i. Også spraymalt selvfølgelig...

Before and after: (more grafitti spray paint)

Before:

Weren't these fugly??? The lamp shade reminded me of a mushroom, but I loved the marble base (yes, it's marble). Cost me $50 for both.

Var ikke disse stygge? Lampeskjermene minnet meg om en giftig sopp, men jeg elsker marmorfoten (ja, det er marmor)! Begge lampene kostet meg kr 300. :)

I was initially looking for drum shades, but couldn't find any (!!!) here in Norway, so I went for this one from IKEA. I glued on some purple grosgrain ribbon.

Jeg så egentlig etter trommeformede lampeskjermer, men kunne ikke finne noen (grrr), så jeg endte opp med disse fra IKEA. Her limte jeg på et lilla bånd for litt omph!

After:

The finished product! More spray paint, this time a peacock blueish shade and some shine spray to make it more glam looking.

Ferdig! Mer spraymaling, denne gangen påfuglblå etterfulgt av en blank klarlakk for litt glam :)

Jane said...: That looks divine love all the colours together not too matchy. I agree with you about spray paint it is a gift from the gods. I spray painted my daughter's Ikea blackboard frame gold. Looks amazing.; November 11, 2009 at 10:23 PM

CHÂTEAU DE KONSTANSE said...: Så fint rommet ble!
Mange fine farger:-)
Berømmer deg for at du turte å spraylakkere marmoren,-men resultatet ble unikt!
Kan tenke meg det er en liten prinsesse som er fornøyd med nytt rom!

Stella....nyyyyyydelig navn...det er også storfavoritten min om jeg er så heldig å få en datter en gang *s*
Jeg så "Great Expectations" av Charles Dickens da jeg bodde i USA, og falt helt for navnet og rollefiguren Estella...
Bestemte meg da for å kalle min stjerne det samme*s*

Hun er vel like rundt hjørnet nå?
Masse lykke til med den store dagen!

Toronto staging professionals said...: I am amazed how can be ordinary things easily converted into interesting and noticable pieces of furniture....all you need is great design idea - but this is a thing which are many people missing. I think that's not only about talent but mainly about willingness to do something for your home.; November 14, 2009 at 12:16 PM
