Right… we’re done with the Orange Mania here in the Netherlands and getting back to normal…. Lets talk about summer, beautiful Islands, blue seas and holiday homes in white and grey! The last issue of Dutch Elle living magazine showed the summer house of Italian designer and architect Paola Navone on the Greek Island Serifos. […]
I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate affair with IKEA. Sometimes I really don’t like the whole concept. Seeing it in magazines, DIY shows and in every house I so have enough of it sometimes…. but then it is so clever and cheap and it’s hard to go in and come out […]
I saw a picture in ‘her’ last post from the book ‘Le XVIIIième Siècle retrouvé´ a great book I got myself as well some years ago. It shows a big sheep in a living room. I have some sheep standing on a cupboard for decoration …. not as big as the one shown in the […]
Recycled tires… I bought this pair of huge rubber baskets, made of recycled tires, the other day. I can’t get enough of these baskets and I think they really fit me and my house. I love the fact that you can use them for everything you can think of, for storage or just for decoration. […]

A few pictures of the inviting entrance of ‘De Weldaad‘ at the Noordermarkt Situated in a former garage this shop has a bit of an industrial feeling. I really like the combination with the wooden floorboards, the furniture from French and Eastern Europe and the Scandinavian accessorizes. This is a shop where a beautiful chandelier […]
G’day mates! When thinking of Australia the first thing that comes in mind is lots and lots of sunshine, a wild blue sea and beaches full of driftwood and beautiful shelves … Going Down Under, as we Dutch call Australia, is something many people dream of. Only little people actually fulfill their dreams. One of […]
With these few days off and the sun shining I thought I’d be a bit lazy and post some pictures I have in my computer for ages. As I am sure we all do, I save pictures that I really like. From time to time I look at them and some I even printed out. […]
After seeing a post about the blackboard painted kitchen wall on one of my favorite blogs ‘Vintage’ I thought I’d showe you my hallway. I have a large stripe painted with blackboard paint on one of my walls. I just love the very mat look of blackboard paint but hardly ever write on it. I […]
