This weeked, I did something that I've been wanting to do for over a decade. Do you see the above picture? That's the view from our home: we live along the riverside of the Oise. Every day we see transport ships, rowing boats and swans go by but we had never made a boat trip Read article…

Yellow Submarine
The name of the paint that I won on Iris' blog C-more makes me want to sing: ♪ Yellow Submarine! It's such a bold and vibrant color: perfect for a little spring project since the weather is so cold and grey. The door of our apartment had this weird lilac blueish color. I don't even Read article…
My jungle
Finally I moved my beloved plant collection from their winter storage to the greenhouse! It's my private jungle with palm trees, cactus plants, succulents and agaves. Most of them were cuttings or seeds that I brought home from travels to Portugal, Corsica, Spain and the South of France. Nothing serious but I just really love Read article…
Buttercups & Pillows
After a tsunami of dandelions, we currently have a garden full of glossy buttercups. I picked a few flowers for our living room… in the domoor they look pretty good! The petals didn't drop by themselves… Ehmmm… who's fond of buttercups? (for the record: Wally also loves pillows and cardboard boxes)
Casual Friday Sun
The nice spring weather adds two perks to our cinema room. First, it creates beautiful shadow patterns everywhere: And second: the sun encourages our little mandarin tree to bloom. The blossom makes the entire room smell amazing! I wrote about our cinema room before: here and here. Have a happy & sunny weekend!
Our two semis
When I counted the pendant lights in our home on monday (8… oops!), I completely forgot about our Gubi Semi pendant lights. They hang in my husband's practice. Actually it's only one real Semi lamp, designed by Claus Bonderup and Torsten Thorup in 1968, found at a Dutch flea market for a lucky 5€. We Read article…
The ugly truth
Oh yes, this is it: our current bathroom. I'm certainly not following the unwritten rules of the ugly truth challenge by showing ALL of it (I'm trying to keep my blog pretty hihi), but as you can see it's quite an emergency! Even though I still prefer watching the pretty side of home interiors, peeking Read article…
Happy Home Blog
Last week the lovely Kathrin from Happy Home Blog posted a little interview with me about our home. You can check it out here, it's both in German and English. Hope you like it :o) Thanks for having me, Kathrin! Read more about our home and renovation in my Vintage Sapique series.
An industrial spring
Although it obviously doesn't feel very much like it, it's officially spring. Here in the Oise region a very particular "spring" started as well: Le Printemps de l'Industrie. Through exhibitions, workshops, lectures and company visits we get to discover our region's industrial nature. For example, did you know that the nose of the Airbus A350 Read article…
Footprints at Studio Sapique
Rose called me the other night: Judith, there are fresh footsteps in the snow outside! I freaked out a little, because I suspected an intruder, but actually it were my own footprints from earlier that day. Upon inspection the next morning I found more footsteps in our garden… I saw that one of the foxes Read article…
