Eastermood - Artilleriet

FOR US, Easter is a convivial feast with very few demands.

The flavours are in focus, with the touch of decoration

as an extra spice. Enrich traditional or innovative, much, little or nothing at all. 

This year we want it soft, slow and sober. Somehow classical, but still with a twist. 

Do Easter in your mood, at your pace.  - Arilleriet  -

 Always love the amazing campaigns of Swedish company Artilleriet 

So when they announced their Eastermood campaign yesterday,

of course I visited the site straight away...

I´m never really exuberant with Easter decoration but this beautiful decoration is

 very inviting and subtle dont you think so?

Just the perfect inspiration to do Easter in my own mood!

a green and natural christmas

like I said last week  I slowly started to decorate my home
for christmas and I completed it this week,  

just like past few years I kept it very simple and natural, 

 with a pine tree with some lights in it, some black (house doctor) stars,
 fresh conifer branches on a hanger, a lot of candles,  

a beautiful white amaryllis and some hyacinth bulbs to complete my green christmas

love the cosy atmosphere and I am really looking forward to enjoy
the holidays together with my family and to be surrounded by this  beautiful simplicity!
today some snapshots...

wish you all a fabulous weekend, enjoy all the happy things

magical

this overwhelming place, 

where we can admire the magical atmosphere of Christmas,

is just why I love this time of the year so much...

early ideas - xmas

.

just visited the inspiring blog of Tine K Home

where I admired these beautiful decoration and styling ideas of 

Pernille Gromkjaer Taato (which you can find here) 

 just love this beautiful simplicity!

already said it on instagram a few days ago while I was sharing 

some of my early christmas decoration ideas,

 slowly I'm getting in the mood for some green, white and

 natural Christmas inspiration... 

Do you already have some decoration plans?

nature inside - KUBU chair

photos elvs

I really like the ongoing natural trend that we see more and more...

a lot of greens, wood, bamboo, wicker baskets and other natural materials

such a great idea... Bringing the outdoor in! 

So when dutch online store FONQ.nl asked me if I was interested in making a review
about the Dutchbone Kubu chair it also was a great chance to update

 and redecorate my living room! I thought my minimalistic home could use

 a touch of nature and experimenting with how to bring more nature in my home and 

to create a warm atmospere for this coming Autumn is always a good idea!

The natural look and feel of Dutchbone Kubu is what makes this handicraft chair so special! 

 The rattan material is wrapped around the black, iron frame and that

 beautiful combination gives the chair also a stylish industrial look. 

A look that actually fits in a lot of interiors in my opinion! 

I love simplicity and by making a moodboard with a few beautiful

 green leaves from my garden and some stunning photos of my favourite 

fashion magazines I started to create a little urban jungle on my kitchenwall. 

The added fresh green plants on the bench in the livingroom 

completed my version of bringing more of nature inside my monochrome home!

Really love the fact that adding only a few new (natural) details 

really made the difference... did you already brought some nature inside? 

this post is made in collaboration with FONQ.nl a dutch contemporary online store with more than 40.000  colorful and special products 

that make life just a little more fun with unique gift and design products and a wide range in terms of living, cooking and garden.

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!
