Welcome to Nadia!

I've been one of your loyal readers, all the way from Malaysia, ever since my sister introduced me to your site. As a student in university, there's nothing more exciting than to open up your site after a hard day of classes and tests and soak in the beautiful pictures...

I wanted to show you pictures of artworks that are displayed in my room back home, but there aren't any (that does any justice :) Since I live in the university apartments, I have only pictures of them to show. The first picture shows a collection of graphics and pictures of mine (notice my cat hah) that I printed out on glossy paper. The smaller wall has watercolor paintings I did when I was younger. This wall was done to complement the opposite wall (second picture) which is done by using multi-colored papers)

Keep up the good work apartment therapy! Nadia

Dang! If my dorm room looked that good... I wouldn't have ventured to Starbucks to study! Looks great. I like the what looks like paint palette on the wall. Its amazing how sometimes we don't think of the most obvious everyday objects and transform it into art.

It's adorable! I also like the coloured paper on thesecond picture, they look like giant paint sample chips. It's a cheap easy solution if you're not allowed to paint.
