Lagos, Nigeria

A TOUR OF MY TWO ROOMS



You guys have been requesting this like crazy so I finally got around to filming it. I went into a lot of detail in the video but I've also written things down in this post for quick reference. I used different carpenters because some of them kept disappointing with delivery. I would highly recommend Suleimon though, delivery was mostly prompt with him. Dolapo is really talented but can be all over the place sometimes.

Rubber carpets are called arm strong carpets here in Nigeria, I bought them from Ojuelegba, check below for sellers details.

The Plant in the filming room is called Golden palm.
I used spray paints by a brand called Rust Oleum

  4. Thank you for this post, Dimma! I have been wanting to revamp my space but I thought it would either cost a lot or I had to look for how to get a bunch of Ikea stuff over to Lagos.

    This has really given me a few great ideas to work with!

    I need to take a trip to Ikea soon. It's actually been years. I'm not the best when it comes to interior design and all that, but I always appreciate it when I see it well done.

  26. In your sleeping arsenal, there might be different collections. But, nothing can replace the Lucid 3 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper Queen. It's one of the most effective queen mattresses. It has received huge numbers of user satisfaction remarks from all around the world. During our analysis, we uncovered a few flaws, although they can never supersede the brilliant features and excellent services of the Lucid 3. Overall, it has made us pretty satisfied as we’ve got nearly everything in it as expected.
