Tickled pink

I had very different ideas as to what my next desk chair would be. But then I saw this bright pink vintage beauty and knew it had to be the first chair I fell in love with.

This chair looks absolutely tiny and cutesy next to the rather large Eames I gifted my guy . But who cares? It's actually a perfect height for me and I can't help but smile every time I sit.

Rust

Melancholy. Sad. Pensive. Beautiful. My jumbled thoughts and emotions, are matched by the rusted, intricate details of this chest.

Red pleat

Okay, so at the minute summer is not exactly the season the weather here in the Netherlands is conjuring up. But this long-ass micro pleated red beauty from & other Stories can always be paired with a leather jacket!

Inspired esstentials

The folks at ILA combine two of my favourite things; cooking and design. Each product is both beautifully packaged and carefully sourced. Not forgetting the hunger inspiring food photography.

For the design minimalist at heart, there is a white and black collection to choose from.  While olive oil, honey and vanilla are my cooking essentials, it's the salt that has me most interested. Find them on sale here.

Simplicity

When I saw the 'House for Mother' by architects Björn Förstberg and Mikael Ling, I was struck by the simplicity. Few materials, high open spaces and lots of light. My favourite picture though is the one with the broom. Maybe it's the opening, the wood, the gorgeous last stool splatter from Hem Design Studio. Or maybe it's the broom, because being a mother means always cleaning up..

Cheers to the weekend!

Thuis

I'm back! Suffering from post-holiday dip as we left blinding sunshine to return to a soaked and cloudy Holland. Back to our hectic schedule after a much needed sun and especially swim filled holiday. Back to work, back to housework, back to exercise (oh, the excesses of multiple daily desserts..) and back to blogging!
