Annaleenas private home

 After my summer break I couldn't start better than with this amazing home!

Probably you have already seen it at the blogosphere but for me the home of 

talented Swedish stylist Annaleena Leino-Karlsson is one of the most

 inspiring homes that I have seen lately... I really enjoyed the feature and the interview in

 Residence Magazine with Annnaleena when I was in France... 

Beautiful warm minimalism as I love it so much, 

You can find it here!

kidsroom inspiration

Love the nostalgic atmosphere created by the mix of  vintage, 

industrial accessories and beautiful blueshades

such a perfect place for kids to spend their spare time or 

to celebrate their weekend when school is over...

starting my weekend with the creative kidsroom ideas of  

stylist Cleo Scheulderman

seen at the latest issue and at the website of  VT wonen 

wish you all a happy one!

printlove

Just admired this minimalistic apartment for sale 

and it's so great to see these very familiar beautiful details on the wall!  

A while ago (see here) I did the stylingwork for the launch of the modelprints 

for dutch webshopVia Martine and it's always great to see

 these prints in other homes and in this particular case,  to admire them and 

to be inspired by the great work of the stylingteam of Fantastic Frank

just loved the stylish details!

 The collection of modelphotos by Via Martine will be extented very soon

can't wait to admire them... 

the vt wonen & design fair

- inspiration - ideas- meetings - diy - trends- creativity -

this week I visited the "vtwonen & designfair" in Amsterdam

(the former woonbeurs and the biggest dutch interior and design fair) 

 where I really had a great time and where I met a lot of fellow bloggers!

I started my visit by admiring one of the most inspiring spots at the fair, 

the decorated home of vt wonen and its stunning garden

where a group of dutch bloggers (vosgesparis, april and may and Beeldsteil) 

created a beautiful blogger spot where visitors could follow creative workshops

Today an impression of this stunning house where we I found 

beautiful design pieces combined with vintage and more affordable furniture, 

an industrial and botanical atmosphere, a dreamkitchen, a stunning facade, 

workspaces created with tiles, warm and dark shades, amazing ceramics, 

great art, photos and prints on the wall and stylish monochrome accessories. 

Great styling work by the team of vtwonen magazine that really inspired me...

Did you have a favourite stand at the fair?

Snor festival

photos elvs

Yesterday I have visited the Snorfestival where I was invited

to join a meeting with a lot of fellow bloggers at the bloggerscafe and I really

 had a fantastic day at this very creative family evenent!

Like I said last week the snorfestival is a lifestyle event

where you can find inspiration in many senses and I yes I really found it!

The cosy atmosphere is very inviting to walk around and to 

discover and admire everything you come across..

After a nice cup of coffee and the most delicious cake made by

 Madame Charlotte at the bloggerscafe (the yurt of our host Kirsten Jassies) we started 

the day with the launch of the new book of Anki Wijnen (Zilverblauw) called Shoot!. 

Shoot! is a book that learns us all about photography in a simple way

 without the use of difficult words and technical jargon and ofcourse

 with the most beautiful (interior nature and lifestyle) photos made by Anki. 

After the launch we continued the day by visiting the bookmarket and other stands 

but also by meeting so much nice inspiring people, having lot's of fun, admiring the creative 

workshops (from knotting a simple plant hanger to learning how to become 

a human beatbox) and listening to the music while enjoying some good food and nice drinks.

 At the end of the day we all shared the same feeling... 

it was such fun!

Thank you so much for a great day: 

 de wereld van Snor, Zilverblauw, Kirsten Jassies, Madame Charlotte and all fellow bloggers 

for your hospitality, great books, amazing food, fun and inspiration

shades of softness

Some greyish days are perfect to share...

I really fell for the new bedlinen collection of H&M home

with its inviting neutrals, beautiful sober grey and

 romantic and feminine pink pastelshades

my rainy friday morning started with the discovery of the beautiful 

shades of softness collection and the 

great inspiration and perfect stylingwork by Saša Antić
