A pile of coziness

We Dutch have this word ‘Gezellig’ It means something like Coziness…  It is a feeling you get when having a meal with family and friends. Or when in winter you put on the heather, light the candles and curl on the couch with lost of cushions and a cup of tea.   I really thought this pile of handmade XXL Cushions […]

There is no future without a past

Tonight I took some time to surf around and read lots of blogs from my reader-list, leaving comments takes a lot of time and I do try to always leave a note but sometimes I got distracted by a beautiful picture or a link you give…  So as tonight.. I saw this picture above of […]

This week {Lots of moodboards }

 Via: AnoukB Lots of great moodboards this week, they reminded me of some pictures I took at Elle Inside Design this last September. I saw so many great things that I photographed to not forget. I really liked what Ateliers did. They layed out some large moodboards on the floor of a classroom to show […]

Industrial beauty + perfection

Isn’t it a real beauty… so very close to industrial perfection, this little chair from 1910. It is to be found at Sourced and Sold where I wrote about before {read it here } I think it looks pretty amazing in my home, against the crispy white wall, white washed wooden planks and the concrete floors!

Saturday morning {unplugged}

Saturday happiness + making moodboards Saturday morning…taking it easy with coffee, toast & honey … meanwhile cleaning up a bit and doing little things! ‘We’ drilled lots of holes yesterday {I have the best neighbor with the best tools for thick concrete walls} and hung up some kitchen appliances. This morning I decorated the walls with my new […]

Blackboard walls + cool workspaces

Photo via Gispen huiswerk Wish I had a clean desk like the one above to work on, but the reality is that my studio desk has become  a temporary kitchen table, a cool industrial, but very small kitchen table!! For dinner we have to place the plates in an alternately kinda way because it is so small! With […]
