diy white bedside table


As stated in the title this blog is not solely focused on fashion related posts. These days, I had my first attempt at a furniture diy. It was exciting at first and rewarding when finished. Although the product obtained is not one hundred percent perfect, as I would like it to be ( because I'm a perfectionist ), I am pretty pleased with how it turned out. Here are the steps that I followed to revamp an old bedside table.

//Preparation//
Firstly I bought everything that I needed for the diy. I choose white paint because it matches my room's color scheme and also looks very neat. The bed stand was originally varnished and I needed to get rid of that so that the paint could stick to the wood. I used the paint thinner and also a piece of sand paper.


//Painting//
I layed everything down on my back yard, grabbed a pair of gloves and an apron and began to paint. I did two coats, and between them I waited for 12 hours so that I could dry completely. Two days after both coats it still needs a little time. In future, I would like to buy some new knobs. I saw some nice ones in ZARA Home.


//The result//

some favorite books, makeup products and fresh flowers

Thanks for reading!

exploring Bucharest: Mogoșoaia Palace

Good thing I am alive! I can not believe that this is my first post in 2017. It appears to me that, I usually take these trips, whether in Bucharest or not, without much planning beforehand. The beauty of having people around that you can do these kind of things with.  This time it was Mogoșoaia Palace, situated near Bucharest. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit the inside of the building. However, the lake near the estate, the park and the Palace itself were such a pleasant view. Lucky us it was a sunny beautiful day. I went full denim with the outfit, added my  beloved pair of Vans and I was good to go. Furthermore, I will let the pictures do the talking. the group Thank you for the photo takers and everyone who made this trip possible. See you next post!

travel journal: Vama Veche

Vama Veche is a village in Romania, on the Black Sea coast, near the border with Bulgaria. As much as this may sound as a cliche, Vama Veche is a special place and I completely fell in love with it. Imagine a place functioning by its own unwritten rules. A place where you forgot about the negative things in your life, a place where you can meet a lot of people, a place where you can have amazing food, a place where you can listen to good music, a place where you can get wild and chill at the same time, a place where you forgot about time, about the outside world and last but not least, a place where you can experience an amazing sunrise. This is how I would describe Vama Veche in a few words.  The year that gave some of my worst moments and feelings, the year that made me evolve and grow as a person, that challenged me both intellectually and spiritually is also the year that gave me Vama Veche. Having just turned 19 a few days ago, I can say that this trip was the sp...
