Room details!! The word lulkoek on the lightbox is dutch and literally translates to ‘dickcake’, but means ‘nonsense.’ I really love weird dutch words!!!! :)
Updated room!! I’m now a certified grown-up because i’ve got actual grown-up things like a collection of empty, plastic bags, a laundry basket, actual functioning lamps and a nightlight in the shape of ice-cream!! So adult!
#when I look back at my old room photo's it looks SO EMPTY?#Now im actually living in it and it's kind of a minimuseum#i've got a bunch of shit i don't need#I haven't even photographed half of it#for those wondering#Also for those wondering the lightbox says ‘LULKOEK’ which literally means ‘dick-cookie’ in dutch but actually means ‘nonsense.’#my favorite dutch word#about me#my room#interior#interiordesign#student#dorm#college#im such a hoarder !! damn#vintage#thrift#second-hand#ikea

Welk nummer staat bij jou op repeat? Xx!
Right now it’s Wonderland from Caravan Palace. I love the beat so much and the song is just so smooth. Plus, great video!
I know what art i like and don’t like but somehow i can’t figure out what my own art style is supposed to be and how I want it to look and what I want to do. do I want to paint? draw? make collages? use acryl, aquarel or oilpaints? idk!!!! I want to do it all and try totally different things in different styles and like so much but i don’t know if i like it for myself?
#since i started the academy im really thinking about what i want for myself#but its so hard#i want to do it all but i don't know how to show its all ME all made by the same person between all the different techniques#im really good at trying things out but I have create a more uniform style#everything goes together kind of thing#that was my critique last period and im really struggling because HOW DO I KNow#about me#problems#idk#help#artacademy#can someone else just tell me what to do#im good at collaging but that just doesn't feel like what i want to do yknow it doesn't feel like ME#critique#criticism

Okay those are all I think are fitting! This was wayyy harder than I thought it would be. I realized that I don’t have a lot of songs that fit this theme haha! :)
just read an article about how artists in the Netherlands work for almost nothing and how they almost can’t get around, even if they do have a job (so the ones that can’t find one aren’t even counted). in three and a half year I’ll be working in the same sector, and I knew it wasn’t easy being an artist but this scares me a lot.

Hey, I love your room! I think the way you organized it really makes good use of the space you have. I was wondering where you got the peg board (and all the cool baskets and stuff) on your desk? How do you keep it from falling over? :o
heyy, thank you! The pegboard I got from a local hardwarestore/home depot. (In dutch its the Gamma, but I don’t know if you have those, it’s a store with wood, curtains, paint, bolts and stuff, haha). It was just a piece of wood with holes in them, but I painted it white. You secure it with little pieces of wood under the board on the wall, so you can fit the hooks in it. I asked my dad to secure it haha. I got the baskets from ikea, they’re kitchen baskets and I spray painted them copper, as well as the hooks (the big hooks are from ikea, the smaller ones from the hardware store). You just need to have a look around for what you can use for your board! There are a lot of possibilities. Mine looks different right now already! You can make it as expensive or cheap as you want to, but my board was like 20,- with the paint, but the copper paint was really expensive. Just keep your eyes open!! It’s totally worth it though and a lottttt of fun.

Hey is anyone interested in reading my blog? It’s in dutch for now but maybe if enough people would want to read it in English too I might switch languages! It will be a blog about my room (for example where i got my bedsheet, because I got a lottt of asks about that), interior stuff, art, shopping (mostly in second hand shops, about little thrift diamonds I find!!), and about growing up and dealing with my life. If you’re dutch you can already read it! Please go to http://ellistolsma.wix.com/wonder and it would be so nice if you subscribed!!
thank you very much :)
