weekend

.

this beautiful set table really caught my eye

while visiting this stylish and minimalistic apartment 

for sale at fantastic frank

it's just perfect to start the weekend on a quiet way

after some hectic- (at work) and some cosy and busy days

while enjoying a short holidaybreak with my family

wish you all a fab weekend!

stylinglove - the SATO project

 Last week stylist Susanna Vento presented the first apartment of

 her latest interior design work:  the SATO project.

 It was a pleasure (pure eyecandy) and so great to follow this project 

on instagram and when assistant Carolina announced the presentation of
the second apartment on the Varpunen blog this morning
I couldn't wait a second to admire it....

beautiful soft minimalism, great inspiration!

As you all know I really like photos, graphic prints and posters on my wall

I have many of them and I always love to discover new ones...

Posters are so great and so easy to change a room or to give it a new look, 

so when I received a mail from Anne from Copenhagen, where she introduced 

her beautiful minimalistic constumized city map posters, 

 it really made me smile!

Anne thinks it's nice for people to have some personality on their walls

and I think she is right... Love to have the citymap of my birthplace Vlissingen 

on the wall in my workspace and to have one of my favourite cities

 "Amsterdam" in my livingroom... it really makes the difference

what do you think? 

Anne can make almost every city/town anywhere in the world in different colors

find all about it here and have a happy new week! 

a bloggers home

and on her blog she treated us with some more pictures filled with 

inspiration and a glimpse of her personal life

Starting this new week with some snapshots of the
 beautiful and stylish mini atelier (filled with props, fabric and materials)

at the little attic of the always inspiring Sukha shop

that I visited in Amsterdam this weekend...

Just loved the neutral tones... the stunning new stylingwork in the shop, 

and the unique items and labels of fashion, paperwork, accessories,

 furniture, amazing knitwork and juwelry that they have.

Visiting the wonderful world of Sukha with its fantastic 

decoration ideas is always a little party...

the attic

lóóóve the atmosphere in this gorgeous serene workspace/bedroom!

This week I was really inspired by

 this beautiful all white renovated attic 

with its original high ceiling, 

white painted brick walls and wooden floor

and the cosy and warm contrast created by the use of 

the wooden shelves and the personal details on it.
