Hola, bonjour, hello, I'm back! After a three lovely sunny weeks in Spain, I'm back in the office! We came home to found our ongoing bathroom renovation completely transformed: there are tiles on the floors and walls and everything has been painted and stuccoed! It finally looks like a real bathroom! And I'm so excited! Read article…

Vale – Venga – Adios!
Finally after some very long and intense months (ehmmm it's been 2 years since our last big break!) we arrived in Spain. This past week we stayed in the Pyrenees, or even better in Spanish: los Pirineos. And that's immediately my biggest frustration of the week: I don't speak Spanish. I read and understand it Read article…

It’s a moody wednesday
So the other day I had a brilliant idea. I would buy some beautiful fresh flowers in Holland for the upcoming Urban Jungle Bloggers October edition (it will be all about Plants & Flowers!). The flower shops here in Nogent have a very artificial choice of flowers and bouquets that contain 80% fill-up greenery. I Read article…
Snor Festival 2015
I can't remember the last festival I went to: the smell of beer, muddy grass fields and big crowds are not my idea of having a good time. Lucky me: the Snor Festival that I attended this weekend was different. Yes, there was beer (but also yummy smoothies!), a little bit of mud and lots Read article…

Villa Savoye by Le Corbusier
Visiting plant nurseries makes me really happy, but visiting amazing architectural masterpieces is my second favorite. This Villa Savoye in Poissy, just outside Paris, was on my want-to-visit-list for a while and finally I got to go! At several places stood "leftover" Tolix chairs and stools from the dedicated Tolix exhibition at the Villa Savoy Read article…

Dahlia love + a Snor giveaway
This time of the year is always a little bit special. In September it's la rentrée (back to school/work/life in France) which is usually extra busy but September has also proven to be a month full of unexpected personal adventures for the past two decades. I have no idea what this month has in store 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…
