2015 meant an overdose of fun and happy moments, photo shoots and exhibitions. Just what I needed to counterbalance all the tragic events this year. These were some of my random fun favorites: In the spring I couldn't keep taking pictures of the colorful flower extravaganza in Holland /// Food & drinks: the perfect subjects Read article…

Satan’s Coffee Corner in Barcelona
Plant-loving coffeelovers, I found THE place to go… if you are in Barcelona. This coffee place is called Satan's Coffee Corner and I stumbled upon the address when looking for the beautiful Matagalán terracotta pots. Matagalán's designer Caroline styled the entire coffee place with her creations. Don't you love how the terracotta pots and plants Read article…
Jardí Botànic in Valencia
With the current COP21 conference in full swing here in Paris, I can only find one reason why the climate change would be a "good" idea. It would make it possible to plant my cactus plants and palm trees directly in our garden instead of keeping them in pots. I would be able to grow Read article…
Desert de Les Palmes
What a heavy week. Ever since I heard that there was "something" going on in Paris on Friday night, my emotions were all over the place: horrified, shocked, angry, sad, scared, invincible… We hear about suicide attacks in far-away countries, war crimes, poverty, epidemics, natural disasters every day on the news. But this week the Read article…
Dulce de Leche in Valencia
Coming home after a three and a half week break meant it was back-to-business straight away. It felt like we hit the ground running: new projects, new clients, a weekend in a cabin on the water, and a bathroom that needed our attention too. Knowing that I have so many sun-drowned photos and stories that Read article…
Vale – Venga – Adios!
Finally after some very long and intense months (ehmmm it's been 2 years since our last big break!) we arrived in Spain. This past week we stayed in the Pyrenees, or even better in Spanish: los Pirineos. And that's immediately my biggest frustration of the week: I don't speak Spanish. I read and understand it Read article…

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…

A few of my favorite places in Barcelona: ► Trait Store /// Carrer del Parlament 28 /// In the beautiful Sant Antoni's neighborhood, close to Barcelona's biggest food hall you'll find Trait store: they carry a cool selection of (Scandi & US) fashion brands and a lot of plants. The space is designed by talented Read article…
Sunny Barcelona
Before sharing my favorite spots in Barcelona, I wanted to show you these first photos from sunny Barcelona. The city pleasantly surprised me, the people were very kind, slower and more relaxed than in Paris (fore sure!) and kept talking to me in Catalan, which made feel less like a tourist. There was an abundance Read article…
Pink Pattern
When browsing my latest Instagram pictures, I realised there's a pattern. A pink pattern! This past year I spotted several pink houses and façades everywhere I went. Not sure if it's my pink glasses that make me see "la vie en rose", but I just wanted to share this little collection here. Do you "suffer" Read article…
