From a simple attic apartment with boring white walls and a brown wooden ceiling, Samuel and Annika have created a colorful living world in which they can give free rein to their creativity. In the 66-square-meter rental apartment, hardly a wall has remained white: Self-painted pictures hang everywhere, the entire furniture has been spruced up and modified. Nothing has remained in its original state, everything has been redesigned by the two DIY fans with a lot of imagination and creativity. The two show that you don't necessarily need a lot of money to fulfill your personal dream home. All Annika and Samuel need is their virtually endless creativity, lots of paint and a few second-hand bargains, which they convert, repaint and then install somewhere in their apartment. And so golden keys float through their blue entryway on barely visible threads. In the living area, a bicycle rides out of the wall, and up on the ceiling is a keyboard stuck on a bed of clouds. During their remodeling work, they also discovered their penchant for spray painting. This doesn't get them in trouble with the landlord. After all, the apartment is owned by the family. Samuel's grandfather bought it in 1979 near the Tüllinger Berg in the border triangle. After that, Samuel's mother lived in the apartment and he himself spent the first years of his life there. A few traces of those bygone days remain: his grandparents installed wooden beams in the living area as room dividers, built an archway to the kitchen, and built a wooden bench - including carved initials. This still stands in front of the tiled stove today. In August 2021, Samuel moved back into the attic apartment with his girlfriend Annika and dog Tinka, an American Bully. Since then, the apartment has become more colorful day by day. It is a constant process. Whenever they have new ideas, they implement them. Both regularly scour the online market and Ebay classifieds looking for new items to remodel. If an old bicycle isn't being taken apart, then a discarded oil drum is being converted into a shelf. The new objects are always staged with the right light. Samuel is a trained electronics technician for operating technology and loves to install lights. Today, he is a department head for construction and technology at the local hospital, while Annika is studying psychology and works as a night security guard. Both have a penchant for DIY, tinkering and bright colors. It's impossible to define Annika and Samuel's home in one word, but to them, Pippi Longstocking's motto seems pretty apt: "We make the world as we like it."
