The new botanic photography posters by Kristina Dam are a real treat for Urban Jungle Bloggers with a thing for scandi design. There's magic in the misty posters Kristina made in collaboration with Danish photographer Tuala Hjarnø. For me, meeting the makers behind a product can completely change my perception of the work.

I love Love Reykjavík
It's one of these things that can be a dealmaker… or breaker: product display. At big tradeshows like Maison & Objet you'll see anything between a table and a white table cloth as a background, to stand designs in marble & (real!) gold. And somewhere in the middle you'll find creative people that create magic Read article…
Aufschnitt Berlin Textile Butchery
Yesterday I was at Maison & Objet in Paris and my first crush was a rather unexpected one. It took me two seconds to realize this was fresh and different (and let's admit: a little bit crazy too). Aufschnitt Berlin is a Textile Butchery: they create products that mimic regular sausage and meat products in Read article…
Our bathroom renovation #2
More than two months after the first update, it's time to show you some new images of our bathroom. Unfortunately the renovation was paused for more than four weeks due to illness, but we're back on track! I really like that with the new walls we're now aware of the real volumes of the bathroom.

Win a Parrot Flower Power

As an Urban Jungle Blogger, I'm a little bit obsessed with anything green, so when I discovered this Y-shaped tool I couldn't wait to give it a try. The Parrot Flower Power is a wireless plant monitor that communicates with Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #10
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic is a tricky one for me: creative plant pots – how to dress up your plants. It's tricky because I'm such a Betty Basic! I love plain plant pots with basic shapes and one color. Igor and I shared a few of our favorite plant pots on Facebook this Read article…
Kidimo in Paris
If I'll ever make it to Las Vegas, I want to visit the Neon Museum. It's basically a huge collection of old and newer signs that contributed to the history of the gambling capital of the world. From the pictures I've seen online, it's pretty rad (if you like signs of course). But if you Read article…
Les carrelages de Saint Samson
Last weekend was pretty eclectic. While we spent an afternoon at the races in Chantilly, we also drove to the western part of the Oise, to visit an old factory where they produce terracotta floor tiles. There is something about old factories, the beautiful decay, old signs, red bricks, the history. Remember the Sugar Factory? Read article…
Our bathroom renovation #1
I almost can't believe our very temporary bathroom lasted for almost 10 years! It is so hideous that I never showed any images of it on my blog. Or wait, yes I did: as part of the ugly truth 😉 When we moved in, our bathroom was the first "project". The former ladies room of Read article…
Pedlars London
Thank you so much for all the heart warming comments, tweets, emails and messages on my personal love story that I shared the other day. It made me very happy that it brought a smile to so many faces! And even made a few people weep. Including me when I read my stepdaughter Rose's comment Read article…
