DUTCH DESIGN APARTMENT

Hi friends, how is your weekend? I'm so exited today that I can't wait to post this on Monday. Today I stumbled upon this beautiful design apartment in Eindhoven. This apartment belongs to the Dutch Design Academy and it is a place for meetings and guests who visit the Design Academy. If you take a closer look you will recognise some work from Dutch designers that studied at the Dutch Design Academy in the interior. Thomas Eurlings was appointed to do the styling of this apartment. The apartment is located on the 18th floor and has a beautiful view.

HAPPY FALL WEEKEND!!

Happy Fall weekend lovelies! What are your plans this weekend? I hope you will enjoy the new season this weekend. I usually love Summer and Spring more than Fall but now I realize that fall has beautiful colors and I love the rhythm and the change of seasons more and more. 

Q. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON AND WHY??

HELP: NO PLACE LIKE HOME (OFFICE)

Hello friends, what happened with this week??? It's Friday again. Can you imagine? I've been away from home the last couple of days to work on my new business and today I'm glad that I have a day in my home office. Do you remember that I started to blog here and here about my ideas about my own home office more than a year ago? In a few steps I have now created my own office but I'm not ready to share the final result with you. This was the room 1 year ago. And now It's clean and white with a white desk and drawer from Bo Concept. In addition I have bought a new white office chair from EAMES. BUT the most important part needs to be done: THE STYLING to make it a cosy place. I love to work from home but this place definitely needs pimping before I can feel really at home here. That's why I'm searching for new inspiration. Do you have ideas for me? Thank you so much. You always give me great inspiration and fresh thinking. Bare in mind that it's a small office.

URBAN APARTMENT WITH A TWIST

Todays inspiration comes from the Swedish stylist Myrica Bercqvist I love her styling. The home shows a fresh and personal style, combined with some design items. I must admit I'm in love with her work now so it won't be the last post about her interiors I guess....

Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS HOME?

URBAN COFFEE

Today I stumbled upon the new coffee chain Roy Steet Coffee and Tea in Seattle. Especially the design of this new -Starbucks owned- coffee place is different than the usual Starbucks interiors. Roy Street Coffee & Tea uses regional materials, features the work of local artists and is designed for sustainability. They also aim at reducing their environmental footprint through green construction, energy and swater conservation and recycling. What do you think of this ' new style Starbucks'?

Q. Unfortunately I haven't been able to visit Seattle lately. Do you know if they serve good coffee?

WASH & COFFEE

Good Morning! Todays inspiration comes from Amsterdam. Wash & Coffee is a place where you can have the best of both worlds. You can wash and iron clothes, drink a cup of coffee and get online. It's easy as that. They even offer ironing courses.

Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS CONCEPT? DO YOU HAVE SIMILAR CONCEPTS IN YOUR COUNTRY?

TODAY I WANT TO BE IN...SCOTLAND (..VIA URBAN STYLE VIBES)

Welcome to the new week! It has been a busy weekend but I'm full of new energy to start the new week with lots of places to share with you. Today we travel to Scotland. This is The Shed on the Island of Skye.The Shed is a modern architect designed house on the West Sleat loop road.
The house is incredibly comfortable with underfloor heating, storm shutters and a big wood burner. The kitchen / dining room has spectacular views of Rhum, Canna and occasionally Barra. Upstairs the living room has a large bay window overlooking both the Red and Black Cuillin ranges.

Would you like to spend some time in this beautiful environment?

A kitchen with a view....

and what a great reading area with that stunning fireplace.

Hello friends, how are you today? Sorry for my absence in the past weeks. I have been busy setting up my own company and blogging was just not a priority. But I promise I'll be back with more inspiration and travel destinations that you don't want to miss. Today I'm inspired by the fresh and new online magazine that was launched in London: Heart Home Magazine is an initiative from my friend Carole King, Arianna Trapani and Daniel Nelson. Read more about this lovely magazine here and please do not forget to read the magazine. It's  in one word amazing what these three British did! Well done!

TODAY I WANT TO BE IN...SWITZERLAND

Hello friends, welcome to the new week! I have lots of inspiration on the shelve for you and today I'd like to take you on a trip to Swiss. This is Hotel Palafitte. This place offers you luxury pavilions with breathtaking views of Lake Neuchatel and the Alps, half of which are built on piles directly in the lake. The pavilions are equiped with jacuzzi, airco and computer with wifi and the private terrace of the pavilions built on the water offer direct access to the lake. Sounds fantastic!
