How can you pimp up the storage room?

I mean, is it even possible to turn a boring blue wood room into something cute and nice?

Storage Room Pimping
Well, first there was the window and the door...with the ornamental wood border, which I found at the fleamarket, this was a start for sure. But even more worse was the plain side of the storage room. To give it some kind of a nicer character it took me some frames, a painting, hooks, metal signs and a lot of logs and some wine boxes.

But now I do really like it. all this small items gave the room a real face lift and kind of have the image of allyear around fleamarket at our house. Which I find great! Oh, dear! what will the neighbours think about that?

Is this Guerilla Knitting?

Well, I don't really know. But at least my husband thinks it is as these things suddenly appear at our house. However what I know for sure is, that this will not be my last project regarding that matter.

Urban Knitting at our House
It all started when I found this great PomPom maker in a store in Cologne (thanks to Marius). After finishing all my inventory stock in wool during the first evening, I was overwhelmed when I hung up the pompoms at the tree on our porch.

It looked great, but still kind of empty. That's when I thought, that also the trunk and the twigs of the tree needed some spruce up with the help from the knitting needle. And there another idea just popped out: Wouldn't it be kind of nice to have some crochet flowers ranking around our street number? And after days were I was busy with working on that porch project at the front door, and people were wondering what I am doing there?!, I can finally show you the first results of my guerilla knitting, or yarn bombing or knit the city, or whatever name you wanna give....
