With the current COP21 conference in full swing here in Paris, I can only find one reason why the climate change would be a "good" idea. It would make it possible to plant my cactus plants and palm trees directly in our garden instead of keeping them in pots. I would be able to grow Read article…

Dulce de Leche in Valencia
Coming home after a three and a half week break meant it was back-to-business straight away. It felt like we hit the ground running: new projects, new clients, a weekend in a cabin on the water, and a bathroom that needed our attention too. Knowing that I have so many sun-drowned photos and stories that Read article…

Giant plant pots with #myelho
It will take another decade until I'll be able to hang my hammock in my own home-grown palm trees. But this summer they grew bigger and bigger. Their roots grew against the walls and bottom of their pots. Time for new bigger plant pots! I put them in these giant synthetic plant pots from Elho. Read article…
Etairnity Airplants design + giveaway
This summer I received a package from Etairnity with my very first airplants! You know I do have lots of cacti, agaves, succulents, palm trees and such, but somehow I never adopted any airplants. I expected them to be all tropical and difficult to take care of, but actually it's rather the opposite! Airplants, Tillandsia Read article…
