Welcome to Celeste's Sentimental Living Room!
East Perth, Australia

From Celeste:

My husband and I are renting a little house in East Perth and I had a very hard time trying to get the look and atmosphere I wanted for the living room. But after one year of wondering, I finally get the feeling I wanted for that space. 

This space is full of photos. Being French, I am away from my homeland and I need to see the faces of my family and friends still around me. But I didn't want to obstruct the space with too many photo frames. That's why I hung a string across two walls in the living room, where I can hang Polaroids. I love that little corner. I think it gives a certain fantasy to the room.  

I also love having unique and vintage pieces around. For example, I found my old suitcase on the street, quite far away from our place. Someone wanted to get rid of it and I couldn't let that happen! It's now sitting proudly on my living room floor. I have "modern" objects on top of it, to break the look and create kind of a "old vs new" style. The bookshelf is one of my favourite piece. I absolutely love it's look and the warm feeling it gives to the space. It has our parents wedding photos and ours on it, and a few of our wedding decorations.  

I would resume my style by... No style! I don't like sticking to one particular decoration style. I love to play around with objects, old and new. My living room represents the most of my entire house: full of little fun and cute objects, but in a very cozy and warm atmosphere.
