Oh yeah! Another bathroom renovation update, because things are slowly starting to look like a real bathroom! The plumbing is done, the walls are up and we even have two little circle windows! I think they are the coolest feature yet, not only because I love circles but even more so because they keep our 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…
Where do you live?
"You live in an abandoned factory? Sounds cool!" I don't know how many times I've told our home story over the years. And don't get me wrong, I like talking about it, but a picture paints a thousand words 😉 Since our home is a recurring theme on my blog, I gathered a selection of Read article…

[[movie vimeo,56777486,424,755]] My second favorite room in our home, and the place that I missed most when we were in Burgundy over the holidays, is our cosy white bedroom. I'm a "talented" sleeper and can easily sleep 12 hours straight. Preferably in a comfortable bed! (and not in a tiny bed with stiff bed sheets Read article…
8 years at Studio Sapique
Today, exactly 8 years ago we moved into Studio Sapique! What an adventure it has been! I think if we would have known all the obstacles we had to overcome, we would have never moved here that day. But after all I'm glad we did. We've learned so much, about each other, about ourselves, about Read article…

Our cinema room is my favorite room in the entire house. It feels like a tree house: it's on the second floor and the branches of the tree outside reach the window. It has two doors ( including a "secret" door to the guestroom ), a mouse hole a.k.a. cat door, a dining table for Read article…

Today 1 year ago ( thanks to the wonderful Anne from Prêt-à-Voyager! ) our home was featured as a Sneak Peek on Design*Sponge. It marked the transition from several years of renovating to finally enjoying the comforts ( and heating! ) of our home. When I look at the pictures I shot last year, everything Read article…
Our videos
Did you already see the 2 videos Nick shot here at Studio Sapique? In the first one you see the exterior of Studio Sapique. At 00:28 you can see that we live right by the riverside. Every weekday commercial vessels pass by & on wednesdays we have rowers "joining" them. Each rowing shell comes with a Read article…

One of the toughest things while renovating Studio Sapique, was the lack of central heating. We moved in just before winter. On our first day we had no running water, so that was the first thing we took care of. I remember my husband was working on the new plumbing with a friend. It was Read article…

[[movie vimeo,47315427,312,555]] Ready for a new webisode about Studio Sapique? Here it is! This webisode reveals the entry hall of our home starring the suspended staircase & the vintage wall tile art. This wall piece was a gift from the staff to management upon the opening of the factory in the early 60s. It was Read article…
