Hope you had a great weekend? Mine included lots of laughter, rain, German cupcakes, 6 different languages, too many LemonAids and meeting so many nice people in Berlin. All very very different, I loved that! Speaking about different: Tina from Colourliving, who sadly couldn't make it to The Hive due to chaos at Heathrow, invited Read article…

Yellow Submarine
The name of the paint that I won on Iris' blog C-more makes me want to sing: ♪ Yellow Submarine! It's such a bold and vibrant color: perfect for a little spring project since the weather is so cold and grey. The door of our apartment had this weird lilac blueish color. I don't even Read article…
Buttercups & Pillows
After a tsunami of dandelions, we currently have a garden full of glossy buttercups. I picked a few flowers for our living room… in the domoor they look pretty good! The petals didn't drop by themselves… Ehmmm… who's fond of buttercups? (for the record: Wally also loves pillows and cardboard boxes)
Matisse cutting into color
Situated along the highway between our home in France and our family in Holland, is this lovely museum: the Musée Départemental Matisse. Both my husband and I are big afficionados of the work of Henri Matisse. Many years ago we visited his home in Nice (turned into a wonderful museum) as well as the famous Read article…
Weekend Inspiration #3
Inside la Sucrerie
Last week I showed you some pictures of the Sugar Factory in Francières. The weather was rather gloomy and like for our first visit, I photographed in black & white. Today I'll take you inside where it's a little bit more colorful (but also colder than outside!). I really liked the color of the walls Read article…
Vitamin boost 2
It think I'm feeling it. After one week with a jet lagged feeling of Daylight Saving Time, I think I'm back on track. And I even experienced some spring cleaning urge! As you may know I'm a fruitjunkie and love almost any fruit. So for some additional spring vitamins I turned 4 pink grapefruits from Read article…
Pantone Emerald or Saint Patrick’s?
Without a doubt this was one of my favorite spaces in Stockholm: the children's workshop at the Arkitekturmuseet. It's bold, it's green and it smells like craft glue and linoleum. What more can you wish for? Besides the supercool lampshades, I really like the chairs with one "ear" (or raised hand?): My first internship ever Read article…
We’re trendy…
My eye spotted lots of copper in Stockholm. It's such a trendy "color". Just before leaving for Sweden, I read this lovely style report on Modern Copper by Chloé Douglas on Rena Tom's blog. Maybe it unconsciously opened my eyes to copper? Above the famous Tom Dixon suspensions at restaurant Hjerta. And there's copper on Read article…
A Bright Boost
While my part of the world is covered in snow, I long for sun and colors. Hope you need it too, because that's what I'll show you today: a few colorful snapshots from sunny Spain. The end of the day in Muros… Woooshhh, the wind blowing through the waves: Feels good to get a bright Read article…
