An update from my home

Table setting with black Stoneware | shop update

Recently I got the chance to add some new products to my shop: the beautiful organic shaped stoneware plates designed by Nelson Sepulveda.  I have known and using the plates for some years and even gave some of the stoneware sets away when celebrating my seven years blog anniversary in 2015.  After that they were […]

The things I love in my home

Over the last few weeks we were in a semi lockdown again in the Netherlands, where all shops, bars, restaurants and musea and music venues were closed. If there is one thing most people love doing these moments it is decluttering their homes. And even I couldn’t help to stroll through cupboards and make some […]

How did you all passed these last few days? If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you were able to celebrate with your family or friends. 2022 sounds like a new year full of promises to me. I am blessed with a good dose of Dutch common sense and can always see the bigger picture of […]

Wabi Sabi & more interiors by Axel Vervoordt | Coffee table books

If I would ever have had the opportunity to build my own house, it would consist of two separate and identical homes connected by a large entry… one house would be decorated dark and moody and the other one at the opposite of the hall, light and airy! The ideal scenery to finish the fight […]

A bedroom fireplace on a winter morning

Sunday mornings… I don’t know about you but I love to sleep in on weekends. A slow start with coffee, reading magazines and a little scrolling through Instagram and blogs, I love it!
