harmonious grays

black and grey shades,  whites, a touch of brown and a mix of

personal, some older and new accessories to welcome this new season...

the stunning gray autumn skies and the beautiful

new collection of models by Via Martine inspired me

to rearrange my sideboard and create a harmonious atmosphere

to enjoy cosy evenings filled with candlelight with my family...

Creating moody still-lifes can be such fun!

ik kan zo genieten van het creeren van een nieuw stillleven of een nieuwe sfeer in huis. Dat doe ik dan ook zeer regelmatig ;-)  Het is echt fantastisch hoe je soms met een verandering van slechts een paar accessoires of prints een hele andere sfeer kunt maken in je huis.  Dit keer was ik enorm geinspireerd door de prachtige grijze herfst luchten en door de mooie nieuwe prints van Via Martine waar ik weer de fotografie voor mag gaan doen!   Mooie eenvoud met een paar mooie potjes en kandelaars, een paar losse kaarsen, wat tijdschriften, persoonlijke spulletjes en eenvoudige diy projectjes... Maken jullie ook wel eens stillevens?

- this giveaway is closed - 
the lucky winner is Ilona van Vliet!

inspired by this beautiful Coisa scarf and some moody photos on 

the wall I really had some sylingfun the other day!

just love the new Autumnlook and moodboard in my home with the brown ,

 grey and ockre tones and the stunning black and white contrast.

a little while ago I received a mail from Coisa to introduce theirselves 

 and to ask me if I was interested in a collabaration.

Coisa is the label of Kim van der Wel. It was Kim's passion for design and 
exquisite fabrics that inspired her to create her own unique label in 2012. 
Coisa is all about comfortable scarves and shawls
 that are timeless,  practical and crafted from the highest quality materials as
Italian yarn (a combination of mohair and acrylic) , alpaca, cotton, silk and lambswool,
and all produced in limited numbers.  
New to their collection is the Coisa cardigan made of 100% merino wool.
Merino wool keeps you cool in the summer and warm during the colder season.

To be ready and warm for this coming autumn and winter season 
Coisa is giving away a beautiful Fluffy pebble scarf!

This bold and tough scarf with horizontal stripes creates a look that is effortlessly cool. 
The very soft Fluffly Coisa ends narrow so it falls nicely around the neck and makes
 the scarf also easy to use as a shawl. 

This is how to join in:     this giveaway is closed!

"The Portuguese word Coisa translates as: ‘that which cannot be accurately described’. 
To us this was the perfect name for the Coisa Original, which sparked the launch of our collection in December 2012. After all, we weren’t even sure if it was a scarf, shawl, poncho, cape or cardigan! 
In a nutshell, the Coisa is an all-rounder, designed to be worn just the way you want. 
Our items are manufactured in small studios in Portugal, The Netherlands, Turkey and Belgium,
 where we strictly adhere to responsible production and excellent working conditions."
