Wallpaper on the wall


It took me all day to get the thing on the wall (I have made nothin like it before, so it was a live-and-learn situation). I'm so proud of my work :)

Newspaper wallpaper

I saw, maybe ten years ago, a small room wallpapered with old newspapers in some interior magazine , and I still remember thinking: SWEET! I newer thought that there might be a ready wallpaper just like that! Until I found the perfect wallpaper for the "room" (picture below) I call this tiny place that leads from the hall to the bathroom and kitchen. The wallpaper is going to go on only one wall (that you can see below) because all the other walls are with doors (and because the whole room is 150x150 cm, there is not so much wall left there).
I love this appartment, but the bath+wc+loundryroom is really tiny (150x165 cm!) I'm planning a small loundry-maintenance-area in the "room" above. The wallpaper is going to go on the wall and the the white board you can see on the picture too, is to be a kind of worktop. Underneath it will be a place for dirty laudry and I'm also planning a narrow closet to the corner to keep clean towels and stuff.

BTW, Jaakko found that ceiling light on a dumpster. He cleaned it and it looks as new alltough I expect it to be some 40 years old. We re-wired it because the old wires weren't lookin too reliable.
