Studies: Medicine
Where?: University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Interests: Travelling, Marathon running and collecting chunky history books. Not to forget old-school comics. Geek chic.
So she bought a large Ikea bookshelf in white to hold the weight of all of her chunky history books. Now white is a standard goes-with-everything colour but when you have too much white on your palette, well, it can get rather clinical...and for Sara who spends long-hours doing hospital shifts, she may not want to come home to that.
So together with a friend, they went out and bought a couple of 70s comic books from a local thrift shop and in 'papier-mâché' style they covered the whole bookshelf - inside and out! It took a few days but cost no more than $20. Neat, eh?
Note that if you ever come into possession of an unusual or very large glass wine bottle, do the classic 'stick-a-candle-in-the-neck' for an instant romantic candle-holder!
UNIDECO TIP#2: Got a piece of furniture that needs a new look? Paper mache it all over with scraps of comic books, newspaper, magazine cuttings - well any scraps you can think of using! Just make sure that after the transformation that your piece of furniture doesn't come into contact with water...may start to unravel!
Your space is only as big as your imagination!
