Summer is nearly over and I can already smell the first days of fall, so here’s how I’m enjoying the last late summer days of this year. :)
Ice cream date in the city with my new denim dress and apple accessories to get in the mood for a new season.
Home sweet home with a freshly cleaned kitchen and handmade paper flowers.
Birgit of Garn & mehr sent me a great surprise package with yarn matching my craft corner. // My cute Mogli. // Daily outfit. // Sleepy doggy. // Rainy days, but still colorful. // Crocheting with giant yarn.
Potsdam, my love.
Frozen yoghurt lunch break. // Candy watch!! // Working all day. // Mogli sitting next to my bed. // Even on our balcony one can see that fall is near. // Daily outfit.
New masking tapes. // Craft area. // Beautiful flowers. // Happy feet with my flamingo dress.
Eeeeks, farmers market in Potsdam. All those bright colors, nice smells and fresh (organic) things.
Flowers, fruits, herbs and vegetables and everything is regional, mmhhhh!
Soap bubbles!! I got this awesome soft ice soap bubble dispenser from Juli, I love it! :) And what is cuter than a boyfriend making soap bubbles? :)
Before summer days are over and it’s getting colder outside, we went on a bike tour and had some nice drinks, already saw some pumpkins and enjoyed the warm weather. And as always, weekends are filled with good food and days are begun with colorful outfits. :)

Home Sweet Home: Kitchen Tour
Hello dear readers! :) It’s been a while since my last home tour blog post and I thought it was time to share some new photos. :) I recently added some new pieces of kitchen ware and decor to our kitchen and used this opportunity to clean everything and to take new photos. ;) So here’s how our kitchen currently looks like! :)
All the red and white apple kitchen textiles are handmade by me.
Before we moved into this apartment, I found this old vintage hook on DaWanda.
I like displaying colorful cups and glasses so that they are also used as decorative elements.
This is my favorite part of out kitchen, my 50s vintage kitchen cabinet that I once found online and restored and painted myself. :)
Behind the small door, there’s a small storeroom, super practical.
I love the cute apple tin cans which I recently found at Tiger, they perfectly match all the other colors and items in our kitchen. The cute blue owl egg timer is one of my favorite kitchen accessories.
I like how bright this room is and I love the high ceiling and my mama’s pretty kitchen lamp.
The sink is handmade: our friends who have been living here before we moved in build its base, Flo and I then bought a wooden plate and the sink, he installed everything and I sewed the curtains.
On top of our kitchen cabinet, there’s my collection of vintage tea pots, cake stands, (handmade) etageres, my picnic basket and our carafes for delicious homemade drinks.
The kitchen table has originally come from IKEA, it was a set with four brown chairs. I once painted the table turquise and replaced two of the chairs with white vintage chairs which my mother bought for us from an antique dealer .
The colorful fabric bunting and the paper flowers are handmade, too. :)
Like everywhere in our home, our kitchen is mainly white, but with lots of colorful stuff. The furniture is a mixture of vintage, second hand and IKEA and I totally love that look! :)
What do you like best about my kitchen? And what’s your favorite piece in your own kitchen?
Happy day!

Hello! Wow, summer is passing by so fast and maybe this is going to be my last summer outfit post – we will see! About one month ago while we spent our girl’s weekend in Kassel, Stefanie took those outfit photos of me and I was wearing one of my very favorite dresses ever!! I loooove the pattern and the colors and the things it can be combined with! :) And the dress’ shape is just perfect for me. I like this dress so much, I could wear it each day. ;)

Our Balcony This Summer.
Hello! :) Remember our balcony this spring after I had just started planting everything after winter or do you remember all the balcony photos from last year? :)
During the past few months, everything has been growing like crazy! One part were tiny plants which we either bought or got from my mother, the other part included flowers I have grown myself. :) I’m super proud of this pretty oasis and I always enjoy how colorful it’s outside my bedroom!
Mhhh, so delicious! Back in spring, my mother has sent me six different kind of tomato plants and it was lots of fun watching them grow and comparing the taste and look of all of them. Some are tiny and red, some others are big, shaped like a pea and others are super sweet. And all of them are organic.
The cute little bird’s house I got from Flo as a birthday present two years ago. :) And of course soap bubbles can’t be missing!
Do you sea the white plant sideboad? I found it on the street last year just after someone had thrown it away. One person’s trash is another person’s treasure! :)
We have lots of different kinds of herbs like oregano, rosemary, thyme, majoram and shives. Some are homegrown, some have already been tiny organic plants when I bought them.
Tiny pops of color everywhere you look: colorful flower pots, tiny paper umbrellas, flowers, felt pinwheels and paper straws.
I love this sight so much! The pillows are handmade, here is the pillow case sewing DIY.
Do you see the sunflowers? They were all grown by me with tiny sunflower seeds, eeeks!
Oh, how much I love this place! Those photos have already been taken more than a month ago (I just didn’t find the time to blog them, yet), so in the meantime, the sunflowers and other plants have even been growing bigger! :)
Do you have an own oasis, too? :)

Favorite Shops: Lu Loves Wohnzimmer
Hello, hello! :) Here’s the first post of a new blog category called “Favorite Shops: Lu loves (…).” Because my blog is about all the handmade and pretty other things I love and because there are always so many great things, people, places or shops that I admire and would like to show you, this is definitely worth starting a blog series! :) Moreover, I often receive mails in which people ask me to share sightseeing and shopping advice for Potsdam and Berlin and from now on, I only have to point out my blog series. :) So here we go:
In Berlin next to the Maybachufer, there’s a super cute shop called Wohnzimmer (in English: living room). In this shop you can find all kinds of pretty home decor items, kitchenware, pretty interior and everything you need to make your home look more pretty and colorful! :) I came by there about two years ago and since then, I’ve been visiting this shop several times and always found something useful, but still pretty. I love things you need anyways, but which aren’t only useful, but also so pretty that you can enjoy looking at them. Wohnzimmer is definitely the right place for such things! :)
See yourself:
