It is one of the “design trends” that I spotted (and liked!) a lot in 2017: playfulness. Designs that change shape, that have different uses or that evolve over time. Nothing too serious, nice curves that you want to touch and overall: fun! Today I would like to introduce you to one of these designs. Read article…
Some days feel like you received a precious gift. Not in a monetary way, that you may expect in this month of gift giving, wishlists, giftguides, giving to charity and advent calendars. But more in an "experience" way. Two weeks ago, after spending a wonderful weekend in Rome for #Blago2017 I was lucky to have Read article…
While keeping our home as "neutral" as possible for the sake of selling, it is a delight to make it actually look nice and cosy and feel like home while we're still here.

So while keeping our home as "neutral" as possible for the sake of selling, it's a delight to make it actually Read article…
Quirky words and botanical jokes are part of my daily life ever since we started our @urbanjungleblog Instagram account. Twice a day we share the most inspiring homes with plants and the caption can completely change the way everyone looks at a photo. One of my favorites is this one with a short cactus poem: If Read article…
Five years ago was my last time at Dutch Design Week (you can read more about that here), so a visit was long overdue! When Holly from Decor8 invited me to be part of #blogteamDDW I knew there was no excuse 😉 We had a fantastic weekend with 15 bloggers, great food, lots of laughter, Read article…
As an art student I used to have a paintbrush in my hand almost every single day and loved it. But ever since I started working as a creative I never really felt the need to paint (artistically) again. Isn't it strange that things can change so radically? Probably the only things I've painted in Read article…
It's been 14 years since I first lay eyes on what would become our home. On a Sunday walk along the river Oise, in the town where we rented an apartment, we discovered this industrial building.
