When I saw these room photos featuring many Ikea furniture items I immediately contacted the owner Theresa (author of Neu4bauer blog in Germany) and to see if I can share these pics with you of her inspirational home/study area. She wonderfully said yes! Doesn’t it all look so peaceful and ultra pretty?!!:
Below is a closeup of the photo that WOW’s me …. can u tell why? It’s not the lovely Ikea table, or the functional Ikea bookcases, look closer at another ikea item JAZZED with fun …. :
Did you spot it? It is the Ikea white magazine holders that are super economical (about $2 for qty of 5). Theresa added vintage fashion images to the plain white color holders. Aren’t they just elegantly beautiful!!! I also use Ikea mag holders in my office, and yes .. I have definitely been eyeballing them lately thinking on how to transform them. What images would you add to them?
Here are some more photos of Theresa’s pad:
Don’tcha love the organization?? Theresa has since moved from this lovely apartment and has now ventured onto new things ….
.. she teamed up with her sister (Antonia) to launch a beautiful online magazine called Sister Magazine for 2012 (wooohhoooooo, how exciting!!). They feature articles on fashion, parties, DIY (my favorite of course!!!!), careers, and more. Check out the magazine details here! I hope you show them love and support. Theresa and Antonia .. congrats again on the launch on your magazine!!!

The magazine holders are super economical. I think I would put different style chairs or flowers on the outside of the holders. I love flowers
I will definitely look into the Sister Magazine.
Hi Amanda .. pics of chairs or flowers on teh mag holders ?! …. I LOVE IT .. great idea .. I am sure it woudl look beautiful, especially since it reflects visually items that you love seeing!!!
Oh what a wonderful work space she has created for herself. Thank you for sharing these Ada.
You are very welcome Santa . Glad u find it as wonderful as we do!!!!
love Theresa’s style!!! she has a great eye and is super creative…id personalise with pretty labels in pale blue, or floral paper for a retro feel!…
What a great space. So glad you discovered it and shared with us. Adding vintage fashion images is a pretty great idea. So pretty. Will have to check the magazine out. Great accomplishment!
Hi Theresa, I also loooove the vintage fashion images .. I wish I could find some easily that I could print.
Ooooh good idea with the magazine holders. I need some cheap ones I can work with myself. Wonder if they come in black?
Hi Michelle, I don’t think they come in plain black, they may have a pattern design in black, … also maybe you can attach a black label to the front! I am still not 100% sure which label designs to place on the ones I have in my office!
