This saturday, when it was warm and sunny outside I felt relieved that we survived yet another winter. After 7 winters without proper heating here at Studio Sapique, I felt blessed that this was our second warm and comfortable winter here. But even though we didn't have to wear 8 layers of clothing or heat Read article…

Light is my favorite color
Nagging about the weather is really boring, but after a very grey winter we finally enjoyed some sunny spring weather early this week! Still quite cold but the pale blue-ish colors warmed my heart. I completely agree with Nanette from Interior Crisp: light is my favorite color! What's yours?
Vintage Sapique 17
[[movie vimeo,56777486,424,755]] My second favorite room in our home, and the place that I missed most when we were in Burgundy over the holidays, is our cosy white bedroom. I'm a "talented" sleeper and can easily sleep 12 hours straight. Preferably in a comfortable bed! (and not in a tiny bed with stiff bed sheets Read article…
Light strings at Studio Sapique
I didn't only find the light strings for the pine tree outside, but also my favorite xmas lights I bought 14 years ago at Habitat. No LED lights, but I like them very much! The thing with light strings is that they always get messed up. Do you have that too? Wally loved watching (and Read article…
Our xmas tree!
Ca y est: an overdose of decorations in Paris & the Oise helped me a to get into the mood for Christmas! After several years I found our xmas lights again! In the mean time the pine tree in our garden grew so much that the light string only covers a small part of it. Read article…
8 years at Studio Sapique
Today, exactly 8 years ago we moved into Studio Sapique! What an adventure it has been! I think if we would have known all the obstacles we had to overcome, we would have never moved here that day. But after all I'm glad we did. We've learned so much, about each other, about ourselves, about Read article…
LEGO Lady Liberty
Waking up to thoughts of the US this morning. After Sandy I was almost worried about another disaster this week… but I'm glad it's not the case! LEGO Lady Liberty has been keeping me company on my desk for the past few weeks. She's pretty cool right? Have you ever seen her "live"?
The apple tree
Our winter garden is not actually our "winter" garden. When I saw that temperatures would drop down to 2°C, I moved all my palm trees, agaves, succulents and aloë to heated rooms in the building. My beloved Elstar apple tree is now hibernating in our living room!
New IKEA guest blog: my workplace
My second guest blog on IKEA family live just went live! It's about my workplace. Check it out here! Remember how I told you I never ever win anything? Well my luck has changed! I won this beautiful orange Kaleido tray by HAY on Mrs D.'s blog Fair and Softly goes far. The tray is Read article…
The balcony scene
IKEA just sent me some additional shots from our photoshoot earlier this year. I remember this moment very well: we posed on the balcony of Studio Sapique when it started to rain. Our view was hilarious: to protect the camera & laptop from raindrops, the assistant covered them with his coat. From our angle he Read article…
