How did you do the flowers on the wall? I love poppies, and that looks simple enough that I could do it in my apartment without too much agitas over covering it when I leave the place.

Love the flowers on the wall. Is that wall sticker thing? Where can I get some?

Hi, this is Mia from fredflare.com! Was just looking over this site, and noticed that it's Bedroom Month! How exciting, I love that idea! Am looking forward to seeing more bedrooms, so keep up the fabulous work!

Cute room, Erik! I like seeing rooms that look like people actually live in them. And love the teak dresser.

I don't think I would want this to be my bedroom, but I could totally see myself dating someone with a room like this. I like it. It looks warm and inviting.

Good job. Love the poppies too. Can you tell us about them? For the illusion of more space I would edit/rotate out the stuff on the surfaces, a smaller but comfy chair. Thanks for the voyeuristic thrill.

I got the poppies at Ikea, just some super cheap stickers. Most of the furniture is too. The stuff hanging on the walls are all from family in Finland.

mmmmm, i fail to see the "design" in this room. big mess.

i enjoy the 'mess.' i think the impromptu addition of memorable pieces seems to indicate landmark periods in erik's life. who wants to live in a coldly designed room with no reference to remembrance of fond times?
