Usually Wally is always around when I'm shooting a new Urban Jungle Bloggers post, but for this special Jungle Animals editions he couldn't be bothered. Fortunately Otta was more than happy to walk around the little jungle I prepared on our dinner table. She loved it, especially nibbling on fresh Philodendron leaves, her favorite.

Our bathroom renovation #5
This is probably one of the most anticipated blog posts I ever created. It's been eighteen months in the making and I'm super happy to finally (!) show you my new favorite room in our home: the new bathroom. When we made a new floor plan and design last year, we didn't know if the Read article…
Our bathroom renovation #4
After 18 months of mess, I'm so happy and proud to finally show you the results of our bathroom renovation today. We have been using the new toilet room and bathroom for a bit over a month now and it's such luxury!

Giant plant pots with #myelho
It will take another decade until I'll be able to hang my hammock in my own home-grown palm trees. But this summer they grew bigger and bigger. Their roots grew against the walls and bottom of their pots. Time for new bigger plant pots! I put them in these giant synthetic plant pots from Elho. Read article…
Filming in the greenhouse
A few weeks ago a film crew came to visit me in the Oise. It was one of the coldest days of March and after a sunny week, it was unfortunately overcast for most of the time. But we had a fun day: I showed the team around our greenhouse, talked about my plants (even Read article…

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…

Urban Jungle Bloggers #16
When we chose February's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic I thought this would be easy peasy. There are so many cool DIYs out there to make a beautiful macramé plant holder. Until I realized I didn't have any nice rope or fabric. I tried to make something with electrical cords (which we do have in all Read article…
