upcycling vonblum

As we are changing the space

the word we use the most is upcycling vonblum!!

We love recycling, reducing, reusing.

So we where happy when we found mayari.net

and her RRR ribbons, you can order some or even make your own.

colours on the wall

We chose the paint colours for our walls
the top color on the left will be on the columns and 3 walls,
and the middle colour on the bottom is our predominant colour.

vonblum in white

Now the walls are all white, tomorrow we will be testing the other wall colour possibilties.
well actually, other shades of white.
What will bring colour and life into vonblum will be the beautiful products, the food and YOU.

we are getting there

these are the latest pictures taken with my mobile.
As you can see lights are in (not all on) lots of dust in the air but we are ready to start painting.
Kitchen has been decided upon and will be brought in sooner than later.
This week we will have the first menu testing lunch in our home in Barcelona
So expect to see pictures soon

Lamp scavengers

Today the girls went out on a lamp hunt.

We already had one beautiful lampshade given to us for christmas by "the super aunts"
still searching for more to complete the look. Can you imagine it hanging over the counter?!
We can :)

some more refurbishment

Some more pictures of the refurbishment.
The first is of the window display, and the second is the stairs before and after.

getting the kitchen together

This week has been a busy one - we have been making so many important choices.

Looking for extra lighting, searching for furniture & most spending most of our time getting the kitchen appliances together.
We have agreed on the flooring, the material in the kitchen, the size of the fridge, so that we now got to the point where can even start seeing how it will really look like when its finished.
Cant wait to welcome you in as well.
