I almost can't believe our very temporary bathroom lasted for almost 10 years! It is so hideous that I never showed any images of it on my blog. Or wait, yes I did: as part of the ugly truth 😉 When we moved in, our bathroom was the first "project". The former ladies room of Read article…

Pedlars London
Thank you so much for all the heart warming comments, tweets, emails and messages on my personal love story that I shared the other day. It made me very happy that it brought a smile to so many faces! And even made a few people weep. Including me when I read my stepdaughter Rose's comment Read article…
New Roman by Jaime Hayon
That was a nice green party right?! I loved the peek into so many bloggers homes and to see that many are enthusiastically growing plants, veggies & herbs at home. I still have a few photos from Milan that I'd like to show you today. Somehow the work of Jaime Hayon was everywhere in Milan: Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #8
For the eight time today, Igor and I are throwing a little green party. Or at least that's what our monthy Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge feels like to me. Afters lots of eggs, creative stylings and spring freshness in March, today is all about green window sills and balconies. Actually we don't have a single Read article…

Patterns in Milan

Behind my desk
It almost feels like I have to earn my trip to Italy for #blago2014 next week: I've been working around the clock these past few weeks. Working from home, I get to design my own home office and it's not so bad: my ever growing and changing moodboard reminds me of previous trips and beautiful Read article…
The Broken Arm in Paris
My days in Paris are always packed. I try to get most out of my time in the city, before taking the train home to our just-outside-the-banlieue city. This means: meetings with clients, a visit to an exhibition or conference, random walks, a little shopping at Uniqlo or COS and the best part: meeting with Read article…
the Voice of a Vignette
While half Europe is still covered in fog, you can find me at the Inner Interior today. The lovely Jocelyn asked me to style a vignette for her brand new series called the Voice of a Vignette. Merci Jocelyn! You may also want to check out Jocelyn's instagram, where she shares many pictures of her Read article…
My little Kickboy project
Finally I can share the result of my little painting adventure with you! Well it's a very small project, painting a Kickboy waste bin, but with 7 layers it took a while. First I applied two layers of primer, followed by the fun part: painting in color. The Eau de Nil or turquoise paint looked Read article…
