oooh... this week I had this lovely surprise...

a little while ago I was approached by sweet Lottilou, 

she works for flair magazine.de and she asked

me if she could make a topic of my house 
with new pictures made by me and a small interview

It was an honour and such fun to join in making this beautiful feature 
thank you so much Lottilou....
since this week you can find it online here 

ps. thank you for all your nice comments during my mini-holiday

I loved to read them and they made me smile!

traveling heart

a month ago the first isssue of a new online magazine 

called Oh Marie! was launched... a magazine where some of the best 

dutch bloggers contributed and it looks amazing!

At this launch these bloggers received a piñata with a small thrifted item 

and were asked to take a picture of it in their homes and send it, when done,  

on a journey wich can be followed on the  Oh Marie! blog... 

I had the honour to be the number two to receive this cute little heart...

Do you want to welcome this little heart in your house and continue its journey? 

Please just leave a comment and I’ll pick owner no. 3...

You can download Oh Marie! magazine here

ps.  I will be off for a little holiday... hope to see you all next week...

#ladder #concrete

                  passing along it hundred times a week and still loving this simple object in my kitchen.

                           It proves once again that a €4 ladder from the trhiftshop can be a good buy

I know I have said it before... but really sometimes I still can't believe it...

 I know that they make the most beautiful pictures...

but receiving them in my mailbox makes me feel so lucky!

while watching some beautiful interior pictures at Instagram  I was wondering...

what would be their favorite corner at their home...

I asked some of these beautymakers to send a picture simply 

supplemented with some words

this week Desiree of  the always inspiring - by finding beauty in imperfection - 
blog Vosgesparis has send me her 3 favorite #instacorners

       a concrete wall at my #living. Loving the industrial raw feeling it adds to the room.

 It's also an amazing background for tape creativity or chalk drawings

               a corner in my #hallway with black painted clipboards and a selfmade text poster for creativity

  in a very short time I really have become an Instagram addict!

I can watch this eyecandy for hours and hours... just admiring....

or just having sneakpeeks in someones live and home... it's fun!

while watching her amazing lifestyle and nature instagram's of the Norwegian woods

one happy mess

# one of my favorites corners is my office, we don't have much space in the house 

so it's a small office, but I try to be comfortable and surrounded by details that I love. 

I spend most of my time there, that's why I decorated it to be a comfy, happy place.#

ooow I admit... Instagram is one of my favorite places to be inspired at this moment.

I love the versatility... I can spend hours and hours... 

 just admiring or just having sneakpeeks in someones live and home... 

I little while ago i have asked some of these beautymakers to send me a picture and 

this week Mariela of the beautiful blog, full of diy projects and decoration ideas,  
one happy mess  has send me her favorite #instacorner 

supplemented with some words.... 

I hope this beautiful workspace will inspire you this mondaymorning...
and I wish you all a happy new week!
