<span style="text-align: justify;">Since it's this time of the year again when we start thinking ahead I prepared something to help you with the planning </span><span style="text-align: justify;">- </span><span style="text-align: justify;">a free printable 2016 calendar and monthly planner.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a>Like most of my projects this one also had to be simple. I focused on minimum decoration to leave maximum space for you to fill in. The calendar is printable in two versions monthly view or whole year grid all to be downloaded in one document. The planner on the other hand offers you month by moth planning sheets that can be printed off when needed.<br />

The story behind this ladder is pretty long and I only know small part of it, but I bet if only the ladder could speak for itself, it would have told it better than me. Anyway I know it's at least 20 years old and it was hand made by our neighbor. When we started building the house my husband borrowed it from our neighbor just for 'a while' and ever since it stayed with us. Today we got proper ladder for all the high up works, but we kept this one just in case...<br />
While ago I have noticed that we only move it from place to place but never use, so I have decided to adapt it to something else. The neighbor had nothing against when I asked him if we can keep it for good and he even gave me his bless for what I wanted to do with it. That's where the new story begins: from an old, wobbly ladder to a handy room decoration and the neighbor loves it! - what to want more...<br />

As you can see the ladder was quite long, so I had to cut it first. I measured everything up and then I used hand saw for cutting. The wood was pretty weak, so I had to be very careful to not to break it accidentally. If your ladder is as old as mine and requires some adjustments just remember to take extra care during cutting.<br />

After cutting I had to prepare the wood for painting. To do that I used sander with low and high grit sanding papers. My old sander barely lasted this step as the wood elements were really uneven and difficult to polish, but in the end I successfully removed long-standing dirt and paint.<br />

Next step was the painting. I used white wood varnish to give it this washed kind of look. After applying two coats it looked pretty much like I wanted: rustic and stylish.<br />

Next thing was to put it all back together which was not easy at all, as that stubborn thing was falling into pieces every time I tried to do that. When I got most of the spokes in place I discovered that one of them was way too short (meant to check that before, but didn't think the end of it would chip). I wanted to replace it with another one, but my husband burnt the leftover wood (wrrrr....!) so I had no choice, but to leave it as it is. I'm still happy with the look and I've been already planning to make another one - this time from the scratch, so see you soon!</div>

This is not a typical Christmas tree proposition, but those who like things to be a little bit extraordinary this birch tree might be a good alternative to tradition. The best thing about it is that you may keep it all year round as part of your home decoration and redecorate it every time you wish. This birch tree has a solid concrete base, so it can be easily moved from place to place.<br />

Depending on where are you getting your birch from, it needs to be dry before you start doing anything with it, so leave it in some place warm for few days and let it dry first.<br />

<br />
Next cut the bottom of the birch trunk evenly, so it stands straight when touching the floor. Wrap the end of it with some twine (not too thick!) and then place it in the bucket - this should prevent concrete from cracking. To keep the birch standing still, tight it into something and make sure it won't move.<br />

<br />
Next do a concrete base. Mix concrete following the instructions on the packaging and then pour it into the bucket. It must cover the bottom of the birch trunk for minimum 6cm. Let it cure like that for few days, until you decide it sealed enough to be safely removed. Concrete will be still drying after being removed, but you don't want to do it too early and cause a crack accidentally.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">The inspiration probably comes from a Swiss flag, although that cross has specific dimensions due to its history. Designers, however don't follow blindly the original, but interpret it their own way.

From old barns into living rooms, hallways, bedrooms and bathrooms - sliding barn doors. They work with almost every style from ultra modern, through rustic country to vintage industrial. Sliding barn doors are definitely on a design peak right now and I seriously want to have them!<br />

As you know I'm in the middle of this hallway makeover and sliding barn door would be a cherry on a cake. For a while I had this crazy idea of making them from scratch myself, but then I found this lovely sliding hardware from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/TheWhiteShanty?ref=l2-shopheader-name">TheWhiteShanty</a> which is in thoroughly reasonable price and I thought I don't need all this fuss if I can buy it!<br />

I went to the garage the other day to clean up the wood before winter. Last year we haven't had time to get it done, so this season I wanted to be prepared. Evenings are getting longer, so there is more time to have things sorted before it gets really cold. When cleaning I found this old piece of timber that meant to go to the rest of the wood, but I thought it would make a nice tealight holder instead. I had this flat wood bit bought some time earlier, so finally there was a chance to use it. I didn't even realize this project would be so easy to make. In other words if you got spare minute or two and a piece of unwanted wood you may have this lovely tealight holder ready in less than an hour.<br />

<b>STEP 1 - Measurements</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using tealight as a mark draw the circles in desired place with a pencil and measuring tape. Best way to do that is to divide the space evenly, but feel free to chose different layout if you want. Then find the middle of each circle by drawing diameters - that's where you will start drilling from. Make sure you leave enough space in between each circle. Double check everything and go to the next step.<br />

<b>STEP 2 - Drilling</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using a drill with a flat bit start making the holes. Put the end of the bit right in the middle of each circle and then start drilling. Be very precise with it, damaged wood can't be repaired easily, so begin slowly and continue until you reach desired depth. Holes shouldn't be deeper than a tealight (approx. 1.5cm) otherwise you may find it difficult to take them out later. As you can see below I rushed too much with the first hole from the right, but that was the first time ever that I used a flat bit, so I guess it wasn't that bad after all.<br />

Having the holes done, you may start the sanding process. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, 'DIN Alternate Light', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Use low grit sanding paper first to remove the dirt and all the splinters. Make sure the surface is as smooth as possible. Then do the same with the higher grit sander and repeat until the surface is perfectly smooth. When it's done wipe the dust off with wet cloth and let it dry.</span><br />

<b>STEP 4 - Painting</b><br />
<br />
Now it is time to experiment. By painting the wood you will give your tealight holder this unique kind of look, so choose the color carefully. I painted mine with satin oak varnish at first and then I changed my mind and made it washed white instead. I had to sand it again before I did that, but I like this brighter finish much more. If you prefer to keep it natural use wood oil instead of varnish, just to protect the surface.<br />

So my question is can there be anything better in the long winter evenings than sitting in the candles light? I guess only sitting next to an open fireplace, but that's a subject for a different story altogether... In the meantime good luck making your own tealight holders and don't forget to share your opinions with me.<br />
<br />
See you soon!<br />

Few days ago a subject of decorating our hallway returned. Hot spells are almost behind us, so my hubby and I started to think of what needs to be done before winter. Top point on our list was the hallway - small and narrow space with lots of potential. I had the general idea of how I want it to look, but I still missed some details. I started browsing the internet and I found few interesting inspirations.<br />

First one comes from <a href="http://thatnordicfeeling.com/2013/12/10/tour-of-the-hallway/">That Nordic Feeling</a>, where simple design meets smart solutions. I like the way things were organized in this small space. It has all what hallway needs to have: functional hangers (some from <a href="http://en.nordicthink.com/the-dots-hanger-set-p259">MUUTO</a>), a place to seat (Ikea Frosta) and stylish look (all by thatnordicfeeling). </div>

Cabinets from the picture above are my No.1 storage type. These are IKEA Trones shoe cabinets, which in the matter of fact can be used in many other ways. The best thing about them - beyond the design of course, is their price which is less than 30£ and wide range of colors to choose from. Even though they were made of plastic, they don't look cheap or tacky, but modern and stylish. This particular hallway decor comes from <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=928213787&group=0&frame_type=a&blog=6420885&frame=1&click=0&user=0">Plywood and Pears</a>, but if you are looking for more ideas of how to use Trones simply type them online.<br />

When I saw this photo for the first time, I thought I could move into this apartment in seconds. Bright hallway with a big window and tall ceiling with glowing fairy lights - looks like a perfect match. This magical hallway stylization comes from <a href="http://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/interiors/furnishings/ikea-christmas-2012">IKEA's</a> 2012 Christmas Catalogue. Strala lights that were used here may feel kind of festive, but wouldn't it be nice to keep them all year round?<br />

<br />
One picture looks good in a small space, but does it look as good as whole picture gallery? I popped into this monochrome composition by <a href="http://gaileguevara.com/">Gaile Guevara</a> when looking for some wall art to my hallway and it really inspired me. Gaile uses different size and shape frames from Ikea, finding perfect balance between color and form. On the other hand when I look at <a href="http://www.madogbolig.dk/Indretning/Fantastiske-boliger/Indretning-Minimalistisk-ro-og-skandinavisk-coolness.aspx?img=12&tmb=4#galleryviewtop">Mad & Bolig</a> decor below, the 'G' poster from <a href="http://store.playtype.com/pages/posters">Playtype</a> Grey's Collection looks really good too, so the question stays open: which one to choose?<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
What else inspired me? Definitely Scandinavian minimalism for its warm feeling. I love the combination of natural wood, white walls, cosy cushions, rugs and blankets... Scandi decor is the style really close to my heart, maybe that's is why I can't resist from shopping at Ikea, can you?<br />

Ever since I remember I always had my pens and pencils laying around somewhere in my drawers. Occasionally they ended up in some kind of a box, but most of the time they were just dumped in accidental places. I won't even mention that every time I needed a pen I simply couldn't find it. Obviously I knew it was somewhere here, but where...?<br />

If you have similar problem then you may like this simple desk organizers made of concrete. They come in two main shapes: tumbler and tub. Tumblers are perfect to keep variable writing accessories in one place, while tub is more kind of directed to hold pens and pencils only. Specially drilled holes in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/200342659/tub-no-5-concrete-pen-and-pencil-holder?ref=listing-shop-header-2">TUB</a> series<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Guardian-EgypTT-Text, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;"> </span>allow you to put pencils separately, so they look very sleek and stylish.<br />

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/201384735/tumbler-concrete-pen-holder?">TUMBLERS</a> on the other hand give you more space and possibilities. The best thing about them is that you don't necessarily need to keep your desk utensils in them. Use it to store bathroom accessories e.g. toothbrush or cotton swabs or make a nice pottery of it if you prefer. The choice is absolutely yours!<br />

We all love home decorations and accessories. No matter if they are functional or just cluttering the space, matching the style or not, they simply got to be around! With that in mind I started to work on the whole new range of home decorations and accessories.<br />

I began with clarifying the idea of how to decorate my own house. I wanted to get a perfect combo between of what I have already got and what I want to have in the future. Considering that there are barely any furniture in the house, there are not many places that I can display decorations to. So trying to be practical and thinking of the future I have decided to mix and match materials and textures.</div>

Once again I reached for concrete (try to beat that!). I also worked with wood as well as with iron. Painted here and there, sanded and drilled where needed and there it is HMM new home decorations range is ready to share! It's sustained in industrial style with some elements of Scandinavian design. I would describe it as combination of simple and functional design locked in variety of forms, shapes and materials. It's very stimulating and engaging range of home products.<br />

I don't need to introduce these door stoppers as you might have seen them before on my blog, but I would like to tell you how versatile product they are.

Making these new door stops I decided to keep the original shapes (I think they are practical and nice), but I added different types of finish instead. I wanted to retain the simple style that wouldn't change the entire look too much, so I used spray paint to give it more like industrial appearance.<br />

The method of making was exactly the same as before, so there wasn't really much hassle with the changes. I simply prepared a numeral stencil and then painted it in desired place. That way I managed to receive the same product with slightly different look. </div>

If you still wonder where to put them here is one idea: stand it outside the main entrance to your house with the house No. or GPS coordinates painted on it and surprise the neighbours - I'm sure none of them will have anything alike in their doorways.<br />

The story behind this table is pretty much similar to most of the items I made, but I have special feelings for it as that was the very first piece of furniture that I've ever made. It's been made of this massive pallet dumped in the garden long time ago and nearly forgotten. When I first found it, I wanted to make a bed headboard of it, but we needed table at the time, so it turned to be a perfect feature to create one. Because it was made sometime ago I won't be able to show you the whole process of formation in pictures, but I'll try to guide you step by step, so if you like the idea please follow me...</div>

<b>STEP 1 - before you start</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Clean the entire pallet before you start working with it. The easiest way to remove the dirt from it is to use a brush. My pallet was outside for a while, so it was full of sand and bugs from the garden.<br />

<b>STEP 2 - estimating table size</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Depending on the pallet size decide how big your table needs to be. I wanted mine to accommodate easily 8-10 people, but the pallet seemed to be too wide, so I cut it into smaller size. I used electric saw to have it done faster, but you may use hand tools if it's more convenient.<br />

There were big gaps between the wood planks in my pallet, so I had to fill them from the top with extra ones to avoid dropping everything to the floor.<br />

I haven't had the long planks though, so I used two shorter ones from the smaller pallet. I cut them into the right size and then nailed them to the gaps. They didn't match exactly as you can see, but I think that way it looks more interesting. </div>

<b>STEP 4 - sanding</b><br />
<br />
Use low grit sanding paper first to remove the rest of the dirt and all the splinters. Make sure the surface is as smooth as possible. Then do the same with the higher grit sander and repeat until the surface is perfectly smooth. When it's done wipe the pallet with wet cloth and let it dry.<br />

<b>STEP 5 - attaching legs</b><br />

<b>STEP 6 - painting</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Your table is nearly ready and you are only step away from finishing it. It's time to apply varnish. It doesn't matter weather you use ready made one (like me) or make it yourself, all depends on what kind of effect you want to reach. If you want it to be darker use a paint brush, if it needs to be brighter use wet cloth instead. Mine was painted with the brush at first and when the color turned to be too dark I used wet cloth to wipe the excess of it. So in my case one layer was enough to begin with.<br />

<br />
You may choose different finish types as well. If you don't want to repeat sanding and painting process again and again, it's good to apply wood oil instead of varnish. Wood doesn't absorb liquids so easily, especially when the food is involved. One way or another you will have to refresh your table every now and then, if you want keep the natural look of it (unless you use wood lacquer and lock all the pores for good).<br />

Six months later, after surviving first X-mas, birthdays and many other parties, I must say making this table was perfect choice. It saved our budget when we needed it, it gave us a place to socialise and it's very handy in everyday living (especially with our kiddo running around with all sorts of strange objects!).Whoever sees this table for the first time, tells me it was a brilliant idea to make it, so if one day I decide to replace it, I'm definitely going to keep it - I bet it may get another life in the garden!</div>

Our new house doesn't have a garden sorted yet, but I felt like I needed my own space around it. As always the decision was to do it all by myself. Having small money in my pocket I had to find a way to create bargain patio furnitures and decorate them somehow. On that occasion I went to the backyard and took the old pallets that laid in there for ages and I converted them into a small diy pallet sitting-dining set. All I missed was something to cover the bare wood planks, so I went to Ikea and did some shopping!</div>

I bought the cheapest pillows that you can find in store and a mattress for children that comes up to two meter long when you put all the elements together. All of these cost me approx. £30! I have already had some fabric left at home (also bought at Ikea), so I didn't need to worry about the pillow covers, just to make them myself. Mattress cover though is a different story altogether, so I'll tell you about it later, but today I want to show you how easy it's to make envelope pillow covers.</div>

<br />
<b>STEP 1 - before you start</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having all the supplies ready in place you may start planning. First of all you need to know how many pillow covers you want to make. I bought 10 pillows, but had enough fabric to make only six covers! It's really important you measure everything up before you start cutting the fabric, because later it may be too late. Also don't forget fabrics got different texture and design, so remember to measure everything up in the right direction.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>STEP 2 - cutting the fabric</b><br />
<br />
Once you have done your measurements you may start cutting the fabric to the desired dimensions. My pillows were 50x60cm, so I had to add approx 1cm extra on the edges (52cm wide in total) and about 42cm extra on the end (102cm long in total).<br />
<br />

<b>STEP 3 - folding the edges</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now place one of the ends down on the table, keeping the wrong side of the fabric up and fold it twice (approx. 1cm wide at the time) and then pin it in place to get something like that...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>STEP 4 - folding the edge for envelope</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Turn the fabric over with the wrong side up and measure 40cm down from the unfinished edge and mark it with the pins. Now put the already folded edge to be lined up with the pins, keeping the right side of the fabric in the middle. Then fold the rest of the fabric upwards, until it lines up with the pins again. If you look from the side you should see four layers.</div>

Now turn the entire pillow cover right side out, tucking the extra folded edge inside and then iron flat throughout. Place your pillow inside pulling the extra flap over it, so the pillow is well hidden and that's it. Your envelope pillow cover is done!</div>

<span style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">When I thought of master bathroom I always thought concrete. It's obvious by now this is one of my favorite materials, so with no doubts I wanted to use it in the bathroom. The aim was to keep it modern and simple with this raw kind of look, so I have decided to combine it with wood and glass for a bit of variety. </span></div>

I knew this bathroom had a lot of potential, but it also was a bit of a challenge, because of its unusual shape, slanted walls and materials to be used. First thing I need was a good plan, so I've decided to divide it into different sections that would correspond to each other. I've started from the toilet, which I wanted to keep more private. Perfect place for it appeared to be a little gap between the walls, slightly hidden but big enough to accommodate a toilet basin.<br />

Going to the right you will see a double bath.<br />

With slatted walls above it, there wasn't really much choice like to place it in that corner. Bath also received concrete finish, but this was a tricky one, because concrete is the material that soaks up water like crazy, so it had to be extra impregnated with some kind of special resin and sealed with silicone on the edges to keep it dry.<br />

Opposite to the bath there is a water basin placed on top of made to measure furnitures with a large mirror behind it. Because it's next to the window we also benefit from daylight.<br />

Going to the right again you will find a shower cabin, originally planned as a walk-in shower, but quickly rebuilt when the wooden floor got flooded with water after we used it for the first time. Unfortunately not always what looks good on the picture must be the same in real life. So learning my lesson and leaving the shower curtain behind (yeah!!!) I had to say a 'no no' to the idea of walk-in shower and replace it with a proper shower cabin. It doesn't actually look bad at all, but you know when you really want something and need to give up on it you may feel like you've lost it.<br />

Most people who built this house project put mosaics on it, I've decided to go for something that I've already known and worked with - led stripe lights and concrete. I thought it would look interesting, different and cool! I didn't go wrong, as the result was better than I could ever imagine, plus I gained lots of extra light under the shower. </div>

I bet you've noticed by now that many things still need to be finished, so I can assure you this will be done with time and for the time being I plan what to do with the next bathroom that hasn't been started yet. I can only say that this bathroom will get some more industrial look when I finish with it!</div>

I'm sure most of you have seen led stripes on the wall, but have you ever seen anything like this? If you want to know how it's made, then this tutorial is for you. I'll do my best to give you all the tips that I have learnt on this project, but please remember that I had professional electrician working with me on it.</div>

<b>SUPPLIES</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this project you will need:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">led flexible strips - I think I used about 3x5 meters in white cold color + one transformer</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">led stripe aluminium profiles with covers (mine are semi clear)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">something to mark your lines like a pencil or marker</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">measuring tape to get the right lengths of your lines</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">spirit level or something similar to keep the lines straight</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">tools to cut the wall for the profiles</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">some plaster + tools for application</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 1 - before you start</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all you need to check if your wall doesn't hide any wires or pipes, unless you know that for the fact. No worries if you are not sure, there are ways to trace electrical wiring in a wall which you can learn from <a href="http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-improvement/remodeling/trace-electrical-wiring.htm">here</a>. I skipped this step though, because I have the pictures of all the cables and pipes around the house, which I took when we were still building, so it was easy to check.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 2 - doing marks</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having your wall checked you can start planning where you would like the stripes to go. I simply used pencil and spirit level to do mine along with the measuring tape for better precision. Don't put the lines too close though, because the lights are pretty bright when switched on. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see from the picture I changed my mind several times before the lines went to the right place. Once you've done with that, you may want to cut the profiles to required lengths.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>STEP 3 - attaching led profiles to the wall</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this step you can choose one of the following options: either you go for the wall cutting to place aluminium profiles inside or you decide to attach the profiles directly onto the wall. It's entirely up to you which method you will choose. We actually tried both and they both worked just fine. The only thing is when you attach profiles directly to the wall it's less messy than if you cut the wall to put them inside.</div>

<b>STEP 4 - connecting the lights</b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a step when I needed a helping hand of my electrician, but if you are a 'power wiser' you will know what to do next or if not you may find some clues in <a href="http://www.flexfireleds.com/LED-lighting-installs/how-to-install-flex-strip-light-LEDs">here</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After you've got your profiles fitted to the wall you need to cut and then put the led stripes inside them. When that's finished you must have it all connected to a led transformer and then you can check if it's all working. If you are happy with what you see you may close the profiles with covers and go to the next step.</div>

<b>STEP 5 - finishing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now it's time to start finishing your wall. First of all you will have to do plastering to hide all the wiring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember to be precise at this point as this will save you lots of time later when it comes to sanding. Oh and don't forget to put masking tape on the covers to avoid extra cleaning! After you are done with the plastering you may start giving your wall the final look like painting.</div>

When a friend of mine came to visit few weeks ago he asked me what it was. At that time the construction of the lamp was in the process of drying and it didn't really look like lamp, so I told him to wait and see. To be honest with you that could have been anything, but when I added lamp holder with a cord it started to look like it meant to be. First impression might have been confusing, but the second one didn't leave any doubts, it was a lamp!</div>

The lamp is made of black iron pipes and concrete, which were simply put together. One day I got totally amazed by what can be done with these pipes and I've decided to try it myself. Because I love concrete so much I couldn't just leave it, so I had to connect it all together instead. By adding vintage style lamp holder and a lovely Edison bulb the lamp got this simple and minimalistic industrial look, just the way I like it.</div>

Decorating newly build house is a challenge and I don't only mean it to your budget, but also to your imagination. Especially when you buy ready made house project like us and many things simply can not be changed. In our case that was the staircase which is very small and narrow. To make it even worse one of the walls has this roundish shape, so the aim was to make it visually bigger, brighter and more spacious where possible.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="text-align: justify;">The inspiration came from my old office in London, where they have this massive lobby area whit led stripe lights fitted into the walls. Whoever came up to this idea was brilliant! The space got brighter than ever and it gained this stylish look. Obviously what looks good in one place doesn't necessarily have to look good in other, but I have decided to try it anyway.</span><br />

It took me a while though to convince our electrician to do the job, but in the end we compromised on what can and can't be done. Today I can honestly say it was worth every penny. When people come to our house they get stunned as soon as I turn the lights on. I must say it's kind of magical impression and my kid loves it.<br />

Clearly I had some doubts when we started, because the stripes were really bright and I was panicking we may end up having something like Christmas tree lights in there, but when we painted the walls grey everything looked perfectly fine.<br />

When we started it looked pretty scary and completely demolished, because we had to cut the walls to attach the lights and then connect it all together again, but we managed somehow.

Has any of you ever thought of making your own concrete wall. Well here you go, I have done it myself. It's easy peasy if you know how to! When we started building our house I had general idea of how I want it to look like. Many of the ideas changed with the time, but from the very beginning I knew that I wanted to have a concrete TV wall in my living room. Originally I planned to buy some ready made concrete panels, but because they were pretty pricey I have decided to do it myself. To do that I had to buy some special concrete mixture for plastering. You can buy it already made and it's really easy to apply. All you need to do is to get the right equipment and be patient. Here is a little tutorial of how to make your own concrete wall.<br />

Like with every diy project you have to start from getting the right supplies. For a wall like this (approx. 10 square meters) you will need:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">a bucket of ready made concrete plaster</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">primer or undercoat (mine was included in a concrete set which I bought, but generally the wall needs to be clean and prepared like for painting)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">finishing trowel</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">stripping knife</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">a bucket of water and a paint brush to clean the tools during application process</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">spray water bottle</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">spirit level</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">paint roller</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">measuring tape</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">masking tape</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">spanner</span></li>

<br /></div>
<b style="font-family: inherit;">STEP 1 - before you start</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b>
Preparing the wall before you start is essential. First of all you need to make sure it's clean and secured with masking tape, after that you can start doing the measurements. It's good to know how would you like to divide your wall before you put the grid on. I've decided to divide mine into nine equal pieces. I simply left some marks on the masking tape, so it was really easy to connect them when I needed. Having all of these done I applied some primer using a paintbrush and waited the next 12 hrs for it to dry.<br />
<br />
<b>STEP 2 - application</b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Depending on what type of concrete mixture are you using always follow the instruction given by the producer! I had to mix mine first and then I started the application using finishing </span>trowel and stripping knife (this one was only used to put some mixture on a trowel, but you can use any other tool that will be handy for you)<span style="font-family: inherit;">. The whole process itself is very easy, but you need to be quick if you've got bigger surface to cover, because concrete dries out fast. So remember to allow yourself extra time for smoothing before it gets </span>completely<span style="font-family: inherit;"> dry. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">You need to apply only a thin layer of mixture at the time (no bigger than 1-2 mm!). To get the real concrete effect you've got to stick the trowel in and out to the wet surface. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Then let it dry for about 30 minutes. That's how it should look like when you get closer:</span></div>

<b style="font-family: inherit;">STEP 3 - smoothing</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now when the whole wall is covered with concrete you can start smoothing it. Use the same finishing trowel to do that, but this time try to smooth the surface instead of making it rough. Don't worry if the mixture gets a little bit too dry, you can always spray it with some water, but remember not to leave it for too long. When it gets completely dry you won't be able to do anything! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now when the wall is almost done, but not completely dry yet you can </span>draw the lines that you have marked at the very beginning. The best way to do that is to use a long spirit level and a spanner end. It's good if you can ask someone for help in here, if not just try to be very patient and precise. Once you make a mistake at this stage it can't be reversible! <br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">After all of these is done don't forget to add characteristic concrete panel circles. To do that</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> use a paint roller with round end. Simply put it to the wall in the right place, turn around and here we go it's all done!</span><br />
