Design & Technology: bring a new ambiance to my room! (December 2, 2007)Last week, I wanted to change the decoration of my apartment, and try to give it a personality that would reflect a part of my inner self, big project isn’t it :p ?
After thinking for a while on how to replace this white wall (which had 2 anime posters as only decoration), I decided to put two big picture frames (40×50 cm) instead.
So I looked for pictures I wanted to see put in the frames, and was hesitating between landscapes and citylights sceneries.
After reviewing several high quality pictures, I finally decided myself and put two photos from sights of Hong-Kong by night: one of WanChai and one of Victoria Harbour, the most beautiful harbour in the world!
I found the high resolution pictures on InterfaceLift. You can also get a lot of very good Hong-Kong night pictures on this site.
I went to a printshop company to get the two pictures at a very low price: usually 1 euro for a A3 image size!
Once I put the photo frames, I found the wall was still empty, so I wanted to add something more, and remember of a friends telling me about wall stickers. So I looked for that on Internet and found some very beautiful models with Japanese trees (cherry blossoms for example). The price of these stickers though made me think twice. I went also to Leroy Merlin to look for some interior decoration, and found a very beautiful Plum Tree wall sticker, that I bought.
Well, now the surprise, while looking at all the interior decoration products at Leroy Merlin, I went to the Lights part of the shop, and I was irresistibly attracted by a light that could change its color: the new Philips Living Colors LED Ambilight. After trying it for a few minutes, I bought it on a whim.

Here is the result, let me know what you think!
Total cost of this operation:
Philips Living Colors Led Light: 149 euros
Two 40×50cm photo frames: 25 euros
Two Hong-Kong 20×30cm size: < 5 euros
Plum Tree wall sticker: 50 euros
Total: 239 euros
Not sure if it was a good bargain, but anyway the pleasure is here and I am satisfied of it for the price I paid
I did it (not all by myself, ok my father helped me to put the frames on the wall ^_^), I feel comfortable in my home, I can change the light color according to my mood and the photos of Hong-Kong bring me the scenery change I need until I can get 2 weeks of holidays and flight back there! I am really eager to get back there and visit various parts of Asia I hadn’t time to before.
