Another day, another gem in Barcelona! If you love steel, glass and polished stone and architecture, you shouldn't miss the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion, if you are in town. I'm not a die-hard MvdR-fan but love his ideas about inside/outside, plants and clean lines. For instance I really don't like his Barcelona chair: Read article…

Praktik Garden Hotel Barcelona
When looking for a nice place to stay in Barcelona, I found THE perfect hotel for a plant lover like myself: the Praktik Garden hotel. It's a hidden oasis in the middle of the city, conveniently located in the Eixample area between the Passeig de Gràcia and the Sagrada Familia. Even before entering the lobby Read article…
#PimpMyDeckie
It probably shows that I'm craving a little summer holiday, right? This weekend I worked on a fun little challenge: pimp a deckchair with Out There Interiors! Our mission was to do "something" with the chair and my first idea was to turn it into a green seating. Of course I don't want anyone to Read article…
Welcome at{mine}!
While life is so busy here in France, I love a little distraction from layouting magazines, photoshoots and phonecalls. Even though I enjoy browsing Pinterest with all the picture-perfect homes and dreamy destinations, I like to keep it real and peek into REAL homes too. That's exactly what I love most about at{mine}. It's an Read article…
A night in a straw bale house
Before heading to the biggest Plant Fair in Europe that took place on our doorstep this weekend (more on that soon!), we spent a night in a straw bale house. Without running water and with an outhouse, a sauna, a lovely Orangerie and a nice table d'hôtes. La Chaise Verte, the green chair, is the Read article…

In a gorgeous old Fish and Fruit warehouse you'll find a beautifully curated collection of design products: from backpacks to ceramics and preserved flowers. What I love about the Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #17
Spring is here! We had some incredible sunshine this week and the first cacti in the greenhouse had a growth spurt! The Euphorbia ingens succulent (no it's not a cactus!) in our kitchen is still in hibernation, so he let me dress him up for Easter without resistance 😉 For last year's Easter styling with Read article…
Running with flowers
Life is busy around here. I constantly have the feeling that I'm running behind, my daily to-do-list is rarely ever entirely checked off at night, and I haven't felt that precious Inbox-Zero feeling in a long time. Besides dreaming of a roadtrip, my regular runs around the neighborhood keep me from going insane. And now Read article…

Igor and I teamed up with IKEA Germany for their new outdoor campaign and we want to encourage you to go green together with us. We both styled some pieces of the new outdoor collection in Read article…
How to get 100000 Pinterest followers
A little less frequent updates here these days! I've been working a lot, spent more time offline, walked around sunny Amsterdam (hence the pictures in this post!), I've also been preparing cool stuff for Urban Jungle Bloggers, checking out "beautiful" selfies on Instagram, being interviewed for Design*Sponge (*blush blush*)… and I also became slightly addicted Read article…
