Scrap wood walls

Last october when I was at the ‘Woonbeurs’ I made the above picture of this little wall…. I just love it. It reminds me of a sunny day at the seaside. The wood looks like it has been on the beach for ages, touched by sand and sea, or only yesterday was part of a […]
Steal the style !

Being a huge fan of TineKHome I was very pleased when I got an email saying the article as seen in the UK Elle Decoration (March 2010) could be found on their website. So if you are a big fan of Tine’s house, that is filled with a combination of clever founds and products from […]
Rock on birthday girl!

No better reason than the 25th birthday of my youngest to get her some presents and to spoil myself a bit as well with some white shiny candlesticks and vases. I am so proud of her becoming a strong, independent and caring person with her own and unique identity. Happy birthday sweetie Rock On! Doesn’t […]
Sissy Boy – Homeland

When I was little I now and then went to the old post office downtown with my mother to pick up her mail. She had a small postbox in the basement of this main Amsterdam post office. Who could imagine that years later one of my favorite shops would be in that same basement. Sissy […]
Two tables and a room – Part two

Soft hand made paper and industrial wheels Two Tables and a room …. So here are some more pictures… All space behind me I wanted to use for storage. I have lots of interior magazines. I don’t know about you but, some people throw them out after reading them once. I like to read them […]
Two tables and a room

Take a little room, a white floor, lots of white paint, some old shutters from Andalusia, a touch of Ikea and two old tables and you got a brand new work space ! I had lots of fun creating this little space. That is… after I finally took of all the old wallpaper. I live […]

plain white

Apart from some little old plates from my grandmother with black current and blueberry’s (what also happened to be my favorite fruits) on them. Most of my tableware is just plain white… No curves but simple shapes and sometimes a touch of black or silver…. How about you…. is colour a must for you or […]
Great finds from the post office

It does not come as a surprise to me, to see this concrete lamp I like so much in the same picture as the industrial metal rack…. And just look at those black metal window frames and all the different shades of grey. I just love everything in this picture! I am pretty sure the […]
adieu

Als ik aan je denk dan zie ik … Witte huizen met blauwe luiken Kleine kettinkjes om je arm Schalen vol met slaapkamergeluk Blauwe kopjes op een blad Lavendel en lavatera De golven en de zee Fel blauwe ogen Witte haren. Een terrasje … en een bloem in je haar Genietend in de zon… Dag […]
Knitted !

While reading Anne’s post about knitted scarfs at the ‘City Sage’ It reminded me of the pictures of the knitted puffs I made at last years woonbeurs. I then promised Anne to show some of the knitted items we are seeing a lot lately here in the Netherlands. Really cosy pouffes, carpets, cushions and accessories […]
The colour of winter

Espresso cups from Zara I am just so happy we are having a real winter again with snow and being all white outside. Already early morning you can sea the light being different from normal and you can hear the snow crispering under the shoes of those who are outside early. Most of the time […]
