MOVING DIARIES [ep. 10]: decorating the living room, building floating shelves, and ikea runs!!

[@owamistanley]

I cannot fathom that you have only being living in your apartment for a little over a month and yet I can't help but admire just how much work and effort you and Alex have put into making this place feel like home

[@melanielocke]

:,) kindest words ever Owami!! I really can't believe its only been that long too! Seriously feels more like home every day

5:33 if the tiny gap still bothers you two I can tip you about a few solutions 😊 ( not my og ideas,but basically things I have seen around in friends etc homes and in summerhomes with shelves like those 😅 got a pair myself but wooden that I got 2009 , dang sturdy!) either way…a tip is, either add a thick string in a few layers, (either white or a brown matching the chairs ) and attatch with a gluegun. Another solution, decore plast in white to coverit all 😊 Edit: also! Forgot to add: thanks for sharing!

[@melanielocke]

thanks so much for those tips! seriously never would've thought of that on my own :)

@@melanielocke So sorry for the late respons from my side😅 (did the classic read, forgott to reply emediately and then 3 days happened 🙈) and do not worry! Did not come up with these ideas on my own and neither did my friends (we used to have a couple of really good home decore programs that had a lot of diy though the tip with strings and hot glue is basically adapted from ”swedish summer cottage with fish and Skärgårdsliv” mixed with all sorts of decore 😂) soo, my mind simply added those for later inspiration ideas and the decore plastic ( eh…am pretty sure that is the right term) are just a trick and hack that I know a lot of people and friends do (kinda like the peg boards that are still trending …those existed in every toolshed or garage in a LOT of homes 😉) & best I stop here or you might get an essey in stead of a comment 😏😇
