Another day, another gem in Barcelona! If you love steel, glass and polished stone and architecture, you shouldn't miss the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion, if you are in town. I'm not a die-hard MvdR-fan but love his ideas about inside/outside, plants and clean lines. For instance I really don't like his Barcelona chair: Read article…

When looking for a nice place to stay in Barcelona, I found THE perfect hotel for a plant lover like myself: the Praktik Garden hotel.

Sunny Barcelona
Before sharing my favorite spots in Barcelona, I wanted to show you these first photos from sunny Barcelona. The city pleasantly surprised me, the people were very kind, slower and more relaxed than in Paris (fore sure!) and kept talking to me in Catalan, which made feel less like a tourist. There was an abundance Read article…
Pink Pattern
When browsing my latest Instagram pictures, I realised there's a pattern. A pink pattern! This past year I spotted several pink houses and façades everywhere I went.

#PimpMyDeckie
It probably shows that I'm craving a little summer holiday, right? This weekend I worked on a fun little challenge: pimp a deckchair with Out There Interiors! Our mission was to do "something" with the chair and my first idea was to turn it into a green seating. Of course I don't want anyone to Read article…
The Barbican Conversatory London
The contrast between the grey sky during my visit at the Barbican Conservatory and today's blue sunny sky in France, could hardly be any bigger. Unfortunately there was not enough time for a trip to the Kew Gardens or Botany in the past Blogtacular weekend, but I made a quick stop-over at the beautiful Barbican Read article…

After the longest Sunday of the year, summer is finally here! Most of my cacti woke up after long months of hibernation and are currently growing new ears/leaves/paddles. This one just grew a tiny little arm the other day which made me so happy because this is what he looked like a year ago…. Today Read article…
