Are you a tea drinker? Black, green or white? I have been drinking tea since my early childhood, black Mango tea most of the time. Nowadays I like a bit more variety and prefer green tea. Ordering a tea in a French café, often results in a pot of boiled water and a bag of Read article…

More faves from Maison & Objet 2018
Cane, dusty pinks & corals, terracotta, arc-shapes… and overall rather neutral color palettes. This September’s edition of Maison & Objet didn’t surprise by its innovative use of colors or shapes, but comforted in what we already know that’s coming: more natural materials, better craftsmanship, terracotta, more pink, circular shapes. As always it was nice to Read article…
Pastel paradise continues
How it happened? I have no idea, but in the past six months our home turned into Pastel Paradise. When I’m into a specific color I tend to be an “obsessed gatherer”. That’s exactly what happened in our yellow living room a few years ago. Now that we have a pink & grey Cubit sofa, Read article…
Our new rainbow sideboard from Cubit
Maybe I was inspired by the extreme weather we’ve had this spring, with so many rainbows between thunderstorms and sunny days, or maybe it’s simply my ever ongoing crush on color that made me pick five colors for our new sideboard from Cubit. I created a little video about the Cubit sideboard, you can watch Read article…
A green TIPTOE coffee table
Somehow in the past weeks, our home turned into pastel paradise. I don’t know exactly why it happened, but my eyes keep gravitating towards soft toned colors… pink, yellow, green!

Our new pink and grey sofa from Cubit
A few weeks ago one of the best deliveries ever arrived: our new sofa from Cubit!

We’ve dreamed of a Read article…
Mindcraft 2018 exhibition in Milan
The Mindcraft exhibition curated by Henrik Vibskov last year was one of my very favorites, so I was impatient to check out this year’s edition. The weather was just as glorious as in 2017: the sun hit the inner court of the historical San Simpliciano cloister and made everything look extra special. All the pillars Read article…
Dream tiles by Cristina Celestino for Fornace Brioni
When I lay eyes on these tiles by Cristina Celestino for Fornace Brioni, I immediately imagined where I would use them in our home… or even better: future home 😉 The shapes, the colors, the patterns… The tradition of Fornace Brioni’s handcrafted brick tiles, that are called “cotto”, dates back thousands of years and is Read article…
Highlights from Milan Design Week 2018
Last week I was back in Milan for Design Week. The previous edition (2017) was so good and hard to top, but again it was a lovely trip. Very warm and sunny (27°C), very crowded. In a short amount of time I managed to see quite a bit, but also missed out on so many Read article…
A bedroom makeover with eve
When I was a student and together with Robert for a few months, I bought my very first piece of furniture: I invested all my money into the largest and most expensive boxspring bed I could afford. It hardly fit into my room, but it was huge and comfy. The 180x220cm bed moved with us Read article…
