This entire December month seems to be dedicated to Light… and plants… and light! Chasing the last rays of sunlight to take pictures of my plantgang, a desperate need for some lightness in these dark days for the world, watching the Christmas decoration in our city, testing the Philips Hue lamps (you can still participate Read article…

Handmade designs from Etsy
As you already know I don't need a lot of stuff. I'm currently in an over-the-top getting-rid-of-stuff phase. Very Mary Kondo style, although I don't follow her instructions 😉 It just feels like it's time to right-size. But there's one thing I never have enough of: plant pots for my ever growing urban jungle. For Read article…
Cozy guestroom with Urban Outfitters
Hibernation mode is in full swing in our home! Most of the plants from the greenhouse are now in the warmer parts of our home, waiting for the winter to start be over.

Which was more than 16(!) years ago in Egypt. That is if you don't count the numerous times I visited the desert-greenhouses in Read article…
Amodo Objects & Stories in Berlin
Between working on an urban jungle hangout and styling a jungle rooftop dinner location in Berlin last month, I found this gem of a shop in Mitte. Marianna, the Italian owner of Amodo, created a darling shop with a cool mix of everything I like (and more): plants, color, plywood, and a very personal and Read article…
Pflanzenrettung plantrescue in Berlin Tegel
This is definitely one of the coolest places I got to visit recently: the Pflanzenrettung in Berlin Tegel. I received a little heads-up about this cool place by Heilke & Thomas from Parus Paper and Igor and I decided to go here straight from the airport before our Berlin booklaunch. The owner Andreas wasn't there, Read article…
