Sam's Room

In today's post Benita @ Chez Larsson asked everyone to share a picture or post of the EXPEDIT shelving units in their home.  You can find ours in Sam's room.


Considering that our home plays a substantial role in this blog I haven't really shared that many pictures of it.  Mainly because I find it really hard to shoot interiors (and gardens).  It took about 20 shots to get this one (thank goodness for the digital age). The angles always seem weird and it is just plain frustrating.    I am hoping to improve and start sharing some more.

Go on over to Benita's to share your pictures and while you are at it link to them in the comments here too.

    This is really cute! I like all the red. I agree on the interiors pictures. We have dark ceilings which are not helping my cause. My camera is also not so great in low light situations. I almost always end up brightening every photo in Photoshop!

    I struggle with the weird angles too. It looks fine while I'm shooting it then everything goes 'sideways'. Your shot here turned out great, it looks like a page out of a magazine!

    These shelves are fab for kids rooms - I am working on my nephews room just now and guess what storage we are going for! I love the lego, did you know you can get storage boxes shaped like lego blocks?

    @ Amy - Yes, I have seen those in Blogland. In fact at So'isses (comment #6).
    @ Dani - Ist dein Paul auch so ein Klettermax? Als wir unseres geholt haben war Sam zwar erst zwei aber ein anderen weg es zu stellen konnte ich mir garnicht vorstellen - visionen von Kind der es als Leiter benutz. =:o

    Ich geb dir vollkommen Recht - was Fotos betrifft bin ich auch dankbar für das digitale Zeitalter! Und dein Bild ist ganz wundervoll geworden!

    Dein Foto gefällt mir richtig gut. Vor allem die Kreise als Wall Art machen einfach gute Laune... Expedit ist zwar bei mir noch nicht eingezogen, steht aber ganz oben auf meiner Ikea Wunschliste, wenn ich bald anfange mein Schlaf-/Arbeitszimmer umzugestalten...
    Wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende und Danke für deinen Blog Besuch heute!
    Lieben Gruß Tesca

    What a great room! Did you do the stencilling on the walls yourself? You're not the only one who struggles to take good pictures by the way.

    @lavalotti - Thanks! The circles are from a set of wall stickers. I did change one of the colors with spray paint. The circles that are red were originally purple. I used the same spray paint on some frames in which I had put some of Sam's artwork. The purple just had to go.
