details

I really love these spacious open and bright apartments

 with original elements

that we often see at the Swedish brokerage sites

this place with its high ceilings adorned with the ceiling rose and stucco, 

 the wooden floors and the tiled stove in one of the corners really caught my eye

 especially because it's decorated with beautiful design furniture and 

a lot of my favorite acessorries (these lamps and all the stunning prints...) 

 completed with some fresh greens

oh yes I really could live here... don't you?

Clear your walls... and make room for some new shiny stuff

that's what Thomas of the Poster club said on his IG account 

and that's exacly what I did this week

today some snapshots with a tribute to the beautiful contrast of black, white and silver

some changes and some new details in my house

I am so happy with my new poster - the Random Silver poster from Playtype -

I was love at first side when I saw it a while ago in the international webshop the Poster club.

The Random Silver poster is printed on chromolux 200 paper and eventhough

 I'm not the "glitter and glamour" type this beautiful shiny graphic poster

 is such a great addition to create a sparkling atmosphere in my living room!

Wish you all a special first Advent ... have a wonderful Sunday!

The Poster Club is all about posters. They are an international webshop based in Copenhagen, Denmark and they really could be the perfect place for you to be inspired or to find some stunning christmas presents because they offer a great selection of handpicked posters from graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and other creatives from around the world ranging for black and white drawings, over photo art to multi-coloured graphic design posters with brands like Playtype, Silke Bonde, Coco Lapine, One Must Dash, My Deer,  Kristina Dam and many more.

from my wishlist - May Day

photos elvs

I always had an eye on the beautiful and multi-purpose May Day lamp by Flos 
just love its beautiful and simple design and this year

 it definitely ended up on my christmas wishlist.

When dutch online store FonQ.nl asked me if I was interested in 

writing a short review about one of the products of their design department

 I didn't have to think for more than one second...

I choosed one of my favorite lamps from their collection;

the "flos May Day lamp"

 the May Day worklamp is created  by Konstantin Grcic 

and designed to be a tool.  It has this practical handle where you can find

 the ON/OFF switch and two spikes to wind up the 5 meter long cable.

The big white funnel is at the same time reflector and protector.

 It gives off a warmly diffused light.

The lamp can be carried with the all-purpose handle or even be hung up 

and is really handy in all sorts of expected/unexpected situations

 In my opinion this lamp truly is an original alternative to follow up 

the latest work light trend... don't you think so?

  just love the simple and industrial design of the lamp 

and it really looks fantastic in every housing space

 - as a pendant light, a ceiling light or a floor light!- 

 "May Day" is the perfect example that design products

 don't have to be very expensive ...
have a look at FONQ.nl here to find out more 

about their large collection of design producs from many brands

FonQ.nl is a dutch contemporary online store with more than 35.000 products.

 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 can be found at fonQ.nl 

everything for in and around the house.

really like to visit the Ikea livet hemma blog

 admiring their great diy ideas and to be inspired by the work 

of their guest stylists and photographers

 loved the stylish details in black, white, grey, brown, 
the little white paper lamp and these little christmas lights
 to create this cosy amosphere...
just perfect now that the days are getting shorter and shorter

flavourites live 2014

 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|

saturday I visited the flavourites live fair at this great industrial location
 the Kromhouthal (a former factory) in Amsterdam

flavourites live is an event where webshops go "offline" and they 

present themselves in real life and where we can admire their new collections
(just loved the - no maintenance - Pikaplant -2- jars)

 but also a place where we can admire projects (air planting - 7 - ) and follow creative

 workshops and "papierworkshops" under the creative direction of dutch

 interior magazine 101 woonideeen art director Monique van der Vlist 

and it was such fun... 

just loved the amazing and cosy atmosphere and the perfect combination of 

getting inspired by beautiful products, stylingideas, workshops and 

meeting the retailers and other bloggers...

today an impression of some of my some favourites!

Beautiful white painted brick walls, blond wood, a touch of black, 

marble, lot's of plants,  beautiful photos everywhere and a

 fantastic Scandinavian and  industrial atmosphere

Yesterday I visited the amazing & Others Stories shop that

 recently opened its doors in Amsterdam and it felt like entering

 a candy shop when I was a little girl!! 

& Other Stories is launched in 2013 as a luxury brand of H&M 

Meanwhile, the chain has opened shops in Barcelona, 

Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Milan, Paris and Stockholm.

The shop in Amsterdam consists 650 square meters (two floors) 

where you can find the complete fashion, shoe, bag, jewellery and

 beauty collection of the brand but also clothes of guest designers as

 british Sadie Williams, swedish A-S Dåvik and Lykke Li.

definitely worth a visit if you are in Amsterdam  to create your own 

personal style or story - focusing on the whole look - or to be inspired 

by this amazing store with great attention to detail
