The days are so short this week that I almost considered taking these pictures in the middle of the night. It could have been a nice experiment, but well… I need my sleep 😉 In a cosy and green bedroom of course! After Igor and I decided upon this month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic, I Read article…

Green Factory in Paris
Last night was the official opening of a wonderful new green place in Paris: Green Factory. Unfortunately I couldn't make it, but I was lucky to visit a few weeks ago and seriously: if you are an Urban Jungle Blogger, you want to add this place to your Paris list. And even if you're not Read article…
Our bathroom renovation #3
Oh yeah! Another bathroom renovation update, because things are slowly starting to look like a real bathroom! The plumbing is done, the walls are up and we even have two little circle windows! I think they are the coolest feature yet, not only because I love circles but even more so because they keep our 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…
WExAtMine event at West Elm London
Last Saturday was such a fun day! Together with the talented ladies behind at{mine}, my Urban Jungle Bloggers buddy Igor and I hosted the #WExAtMine event at the West Elm store in London. To go short: we invited 12 design bloggers to style an area of the West Elm store. With extra bonus points 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…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #12
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic fits my current state of mind pretty well: back to school, plants on the workplace. It's been one busy month, but a very productive one too, here in my home office. Strangely enough I don't have many plants on my desk. Most of them don't like the northern light Read article…
Tina Frey Designs in pink
Oh yeah I have more pictures from Maison & Objet! Last January I fell for the bright colors of the resin planters from Tina Frey Designs. This time I was really surprised: the entire stand was soft and fuzzy: black, grey, white… and pink! Very different colorwise, but with the same sensual feel of resin Read article…
