Lisan Timp studied Lifestyle & Design and graduated from the Art Academy WDKA in Rotterdam last month. As her graduation project she published her own book, she is showing some pictures here… these are her words: This is my world, my first book. My passion is to go looking for beauty in everything I see. I embrace the world around […]
One thing I love about MERCI in Paris is the use of words on paper… Everything is always nicely presented on a kind of scribbling-pad (that’s how the online dictionary calls it) For the Y Design Theme, there was a huge one explaining the Y generation and their effect on today’s design. I brought one home and added it […]
The last posts about this years Woonbeurs. This is the home of 101 woonideeën. Different rooms and lots of different colors. When entering the room above there is a strong blue corner with industrial cupboards, filled with lots of collections of all kind and many cushions and plaids to soften the place. I can’t really […]
The homes in where the Dutch interior magazines come to life have always been one of the main reasons for me to visit the Woonbeurs. These are my favorite corners at this years collaboration between ariadne At Home, Seasons and Home and Garden. They made one huge plot together with a home, a garden around […]
I found this picture on Remodelista and just loved the dark and simple feel of it…. it is an advert from South Africa-based paint brand Earthcote, ain’t that a beautiful wall?!
Today started early already with building up our bloggers room at the Woonbeurs in Amsterdam. We met lots and lots of very nice people all day long… and handed out nearly all of the 200 flyers we brought to those who felt connected with what we created. We decorated our blogger room with personal items we both […]
Maybe it is the industrial looking wallpaper, (Brooklyn Tins for MERCI by NLXL) reminding me of my latest trip to Paris, that makes me love this room. It is also this room, with the bathroom en-suite that I liked most in this years VT Wonen home. Although the kitchen comes very close and really is my taste as well. In […]
After Tuesdays sneak peek, some more eye candy from this years VT Wonen home (designed by Fietje Bruin) at the woonbeurs… The home is build around an enclosed garden with vegetables. Growing your own vegetables and urban farming is a trend at the moment! The overall color scheme is green and blue with some soft pinks in the living and […]
Anouk and I hope to meet you at the woonbeurs this saturdaycome and say hello – you can find us in design city!
Today The ‘Woonbeurs’ The Dutch annual exhibition for indoor and outdoor living opened its doors for the 20th year in a row. I only had about 2 hours to make a quick tour today and I spent most of the time meeting and talking to people I had not seen for some time. Of course I […]
Visiting Paris… something I should do way more often, as it is only 3.15 minutes from Amsterdam… is not complete without passing by concept store MERCI. Last time while being in Paris for the Maison & Objet, we did not even shopped that much but still found ourselves several times at MERCI. I think if you […]
Some more pictures from Maison & Objet in Paris this month. These are from Ay Illuminate. On the pictures some lamps out of their new collection. I have written several times about the bamboo and cotton lamps on the blog, like here: A kitchen update and showed that home in Italy decorated by the team: Ay […]
