Starting my new week with some details of the amazing VT wonen house.
VT wonen celebrates its 50th anniversary and their booth looked like a 
enormous party tent. 

Like I said I started  my visit at the Woonbeurs this week
by admiring the inspiration houses of the Dutch decoration magazines 
and there were so many details to discover... 

Just loved their entrance (photo1) where we were welcomed by a huge discoball
 surrounded by dark colors combined with white and gold
It was obvious there was something to celebrate!!!

While visiting the whole booth I was really attracted by the beautiful details on the wall
The wall filled with the stunning plates (photo 5, 7) of VT wonen tableware series 
but also the beautiful wall styled with the poloraids (photo 3)  (viaMartine) 
and the stunning posters Blom & Blom (printed by repros) (photo 2)  really caught my eye
Today a little impression of their very inspiring stylingwork!

Enjoy and have a happy new week...

I started  my visit at the Woonbeurs this week
by admiring the inspiration houses of the Dutch decoration magazines 
and there were so many details to discover...

 At the 101 woonideeën magazine inspiration house
 I was really attracted by the fantastic DIY ideas they were showing
(the most remarable ones since their start at 1957) 
combined with the latest home trends (photo 3, 7, 9 )
the amazing copper radiator really caught my eye (photo 5)
you can find the diy description here

At the Ariadneathome magazine house I really loved the
serene and rustic atmosphere with its fresh greens (photo 1, 2, 4, 6, 8)
and  the fantastic styling ideas (beautiful simplicity) 
today - part one - some of my favorite Woonbeurs details
hope they will inspire you...

Have a great friday!

at the woonbeurs!



yesterday I visited the Amsterdam Woonbeurs 
where you could find me at the bloggerscafe
together with a group of inspiring dutch bloggers
and our lovely host Kirsten Jassies
and it was amazing... I really enjoyed the day!

Before we went to the bloggerscafe
we started  with a sneakpeek at the inspiration
houses of the dutch decoration magazines
and during the day I have visited and admired the whole fair
where I made lot's of photos

I have met so much nice people, seen so much inspiration
but we also joined a little styling event organized 
by the people of the woonbeurs
Together with my blogfriends Christine of House of C and 
Susanne of Suus Loves we borrowed some props 
of some sweet standholders
 (thank you so much Designlemonade, by Zenz, studiodewinkel, and Burbri!)
and really had a great time and lot's of fun by
creating a stilllife..

The Woonbeurs is open until Sunday the 5th of October...
have a great time if you are going!

# on my shelf - Therese Sennerholt







One of my favourite hashtags on instagram is the #onmyshelf one
just love to admire all these beautiful styled shelves
 (or whatever used... tables, cabinets, cupboard)
 but most of all the added personal touch 
 gives us the idea getting to know each other a little bit...
and that is what attracts me most!

because it thought it would be fun to share and to
be inspired by each other's creative ideas 
 I have asked some of my favourite bloggers/IGers to share their "shelfies"
  accompanied by some words or a short story... 

just love her stunning graphic prints, quotes and sayings, 
postcards and photo art but also her styling and 
amazing instagram still lifes (see it here) 
 and  she has just launched her new collection Shapes + words 

this week talented and successful designer 
 Therese Sennerholt 
shares heres... 





Therese wrote me: 

The main focus in my living room is my black Chesterfield couch and then
 the wall of long shelves where I keep coffeetable books, 
personal details, boxes from items i have bought, 
and a mix of things that mean a lot to me.
 I have even saved  wrapping paper from a gift with personal words on it, 
just because I like it. 
So the shelves are storage but also decoration to the room.

 I like things in order so I try to keep the items in straight piles,
 but somehow there always end up tear sheets from fashion magazines
 and other stuff that makes the perfect imperfect. 

I just launched a new collection of prints and postcards, 
and on the wall you see one of the postcards, 
I am all into patterns and shapes right now, 
and the new collection is inspired by fashion and clean lines. 

I also love shoes, its my IT-thing, i don't always wear the shoes i buy, 
sometimes i put them on my shelf as a piece of decoration. 
The black crocodile boots are from Lykke Li's co-lab with &other Stories 
they are todays favourites.

 I always listen to music as well, 
so my computer is always attached to the speaker from Jawbone, 
right now I am listening to Banks, just love her sound. 
It gives me peace of mind, and gives me energy to be creative.
