This lunch in London was a much anticipated one. Ever since I visited the Ottolenghi deli in Notting Hill this spring, I planned to come back and indulge. The large dishes with gorgeous veggies and the most perfect pastries called my name. Back then I didn't know much about chef Yotam Ottolenghi, I liked the Read article…

Our new bathtub
By now I wish I could unveil our new bathroom to you, but it’s not nearly finished! We are working very hard to finalize the floors, tiling, painting, faucets… Believe me, I can’t wait to take the first shower in the new double shower. In our floorplan we didn’t include a bathtub (as you can Read article…
Tokyobike in London
The difference between the Dutch and the French riding their bike: the Dutch ride from A to B, the French from A to A. Even after more than 12 years in France I still ride almost exclusively from A to B. My bike is a very Dutch old one-gear bike, the first 3 bikes were Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #13
Today's Urban Jungle Bloggers Plant Shelfie topic made me realize that we really need some new beautiful shelves. We don't have many wall space here at home and only a few basic Ikea lack shelves, which I really don't like anymore. But well, for now we have other priorities. Like a bathroom for example! Because, Read article…

Flowers for Inga
One things that I love most about blogging is getting to know all kinds of new people. Creative folks you follow from afar, people that make things happen, like-minded people that sometimes turn into new friends… And when someone who made things that you loved happen disappears, it's so so sad. Last week I found Read article…
Jardin des Serres d’Auteuil in Paris
Yes, I'm done editing some of the 250 photos I took at the Jardin botanique des Serres d'Auteuil. Botanic gardens make me so extremely happy, especially if they include palm trees, cactus plants and succulents, that it always results in too many pictures 😉 This garden in Paris has been on my must-visit list for Read article…
Molitor rooftop garden in Paris
Last week my day started with a visit of the new garden and roof bar of the iconic Piscine Molitor. Well it's not "just" a swimming pool, but you can sleep, dine and workout here too. This spring Molitor, built in 1929, finally reopened its doors after 25 years. When Molitor closed in 1989, it Read article…
