green in my bedroom - OGREEN -

Inspired by my new Platformtray by Muuto, a few weeks ago I've updated

my bedroom (see here) and I still love the cosy and warm atmosphere

but I was missing something... By now you all know that I really love plants and

I thought it might be a good idea to add some fresh greens!

During the colder days when the heater is on all day, unfortunately the waste air can

not leave very easy because all homes are so well insulated nowadays.

The kind offer of fonQ.nl to try the beautiful greens of Ogreen came just at

the right moment! With the 'Clean Machines' (the plants) these waste

products absorb and give oxygen back.

For me personally plants are beautiful and refresh and brighten up any room.

But plants can do far more than just that. Ogreen plants provide a healthier living

environment where people feel better, are more creative and achieve better results.

Just perfect because in my case my workspace is situated in our bedroom!

Because of our new family member, cat Sofie, I've choosen the

"animal friendly" plantset... Sofie loves to investigate plants and this ensures

that she wil not get sick from eating them!

My other favorite new accessories; The Tillandsia Xerographica plants

are special in every way. They can be used as a hanging or table plant,

because this airplant does not need a pot. He gets his food from the air himself.

They are really special and just perfect if you are having difficulties to

take care of plants in time !

The nice feeling started at the receiving because the plants have been

delivered in beautiful stylish boxes (a perfect gift!) and the plant container

has all the needed care information. It's so funny because every container indicates

how much m2 of fresh air it will create in a space. The available biological plant fuel

can help growing the plant as nature intended.

Accompanied by Sofie I've changed the (not waterproof) containers for some of my all time favourites... the Flowerpots by Hay... don't they fit just perfect?

Ogreen only works with growers who use the most organic methods of production possible.

"Just like the trees outside, plants operate as air-purifying machines. They convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and also filter the air, removing toxic substances. This has been proven by scientific research. Ogreen plants are scientifically tested for their air-purifying properties. The unique air-purifying properties of each plant have been measured and recorded."

Botanical greens

Starting this new blogpost with some green inspiration,

This week I looked back to these photos that I took at the amazing

Botanisk Have at Copenhagen when we where enjoying our springbreak in

Denmark a while ago and where I told you about in my last blogpost...

It was a short break where we had a fantastic time while exploring the largest
island of Denmark - Sjealland - but also a break which ended up in a very sad way.

Maybe you have noticed I have not been blogging since that break and

if you follow me on instagram you might have read that the reason

for this absence was the not expected weakening (she was suffering from cancer) and
the sudden dead of my mother.

These last weeks have been very difficult for me and my family and it's very hard

to believe this happend but I am thankful for the great and special moments

that we had with a mom like her... She was very proud on us,
her children and her grand children, and she always encouraged me to do the things
that I love the most... I really had and still have a very difficult time
but I am slowly finding my way and trying to move forward.

These last few days I have admired so much beautiful ideas, photos and interiors
that inspired me and leasurely gave me the desire to restart blogging.

It's so nice to find energy in things that we love and like to do most of all,
Being different and creative is one of the most beautiful things on earth...
