You can see them here in this post. They are still in great condition, except for some scratches on the yellowed birch Read article…
What is your least favorite chore at home? Doing the dishes? Laundry? Windowcleaning? Dusting? Mine has been vacuum cleaning, since like forever! The noise, the machine that gets stuck behind furniture, the electric cord that is never long enough, and again: the noise! Together with the fact that it seems like it is a never Read article…
How it happened? I have no idea, but in the past six months our home turned into Pastel Paradise. When I’m into a specific color I tend to be an “obsessed gatherer”. That’s exactly what happened in our yellow living room a few years ago. Now that we have a pink & grey Cubit sofa, Read article…

Someone that will turn the incredible surface (504m²!) into their workshop, office and/or apartment. Someone who will enjoy watching the boats Read article…
While keeping our home as "neutral" as possible for the sake of selling, it is a delight to make it actually look nice and cosy and feel like home while we're still here. Especially now that temperatures are dropping (we had some snow over the weekend!) and the dark days before Xmas are getting close, I'm Read article…

Redecorating our home while it's on sale, feels strange and delightful all at the same time. Secretly I'm already decorating our new home, even though we have no certainties about the where and when. So while keeping our home as "neutral" as possible for the sake of selling, it's a delight to make it actually Read article…
