Meillä huonejärjestys on vaihtanut paikkaa ja olen päässyt sisustamaan makuuhuonetta uudelleen. Ihan ensimmäisenä halusin peittää tuon oviaukon makrameella. Ja kylläpä tykkään!! Paikalle päätyivät myös mieheni isoisäni matkalaukusta tekemä nojatuoli ja rahi. Matto siirtyi eteisestä ja pikkulipasto löysi myös uuden paikan❤️ Jotain uutta, paljon vanhaa.. ja homma jatkuu 😃 This is my happy place 🥰 🖤 #huuhaapuuhaa #linnovaattori #thingymajiggywhimsies #makramee #makrameeoviverho #makrameenmaailma #moppari #lankava #matkalaukustaonmoneksi #tuunattu #matkalaukkurahi #sisustus #redo #diy #diyhomedecor #macrameart #macramedoorcurtain #deco #suitcase #suitcaseredo #suitcasediy #nolitetebastardescarborundorum #stephenkingfan #buddha
