A ROOM WITH A VIEW...(VIA URBAN STYLE VIBES*)

Today I'm dreaming about a room with a view in the Maldives. This is the five star Reethi Rah Resort. Imagine to wake up with the sun and such a view.....We can only dream about that in Holland right now since it's freezing cold outside. What about you?

WINTER WONDERLAND

Hello friends! Welcome to the new week. I know I'm not among the first but I've just discovered Instagram and I love it. It's so easy to make some snapshots on my iPhone and show it to the world via Facebook, Twitter or other social media. Today I made some shots in my own neighbourhood. You know it's pretty cold and snowy here in Holland but the sun is shining as well so it's a beautiful scenery out there. Maybe I even go for some ice skating this weekend. Who knows! And how is the weather in your country? Do you enjoy the winter time?

URBAN INTERNATIONAL APARTMENT STOCKHOLM

Hello Friends, today I bring you again to Stockholm for a housetour in this lovely urban apartment. The colors are stunning and I love the international inspiration from the globes, wallpaperimage and paintings. It's funny to see how easy it seams to combine color with white. I wish I had a home like this....Dream on...

TODAYI WANT TO BE IN...SWEDEN (VIA URBAN STYLE VIBES*)

Hello friends! How are you? How is your weekend? It's pretty cold here in Holland but the sun is shining. A perfect winter day I must admit! Today I had lunch in a wonderful place here in the city of Rotterdam and now just before we will have diner I'd love to treat you with some new Swedish inspiration. People ask me a lot where I find all the inspiration for Urban Style Vibes* blog. My answer to that question is: Inspiration is everywhere. The only thing you need is an open mind. Sometimes when I'm tired or feeling down it's difficult to find inspiration but most of the days there is so much to find on the street, in magazines at home or on the internet via websites, Pinterest or other blogs. I love to read a lot so it's not that difficult for me to come across good and new stuff. Today I was 'hunting' for houses for sale in Sweden and if I do that I usually check the wonderful Skeppsholmen website. This real estate agent has a lot of gorgeous homes for sale in Sweden. Don't get me wrong: I'm not planning to leave the country but it's always a treat to look into some beautiful homes abroad. Don't you think? This apartment is located in the city of Stockholm. I love the use of color combined with the white walls and wooden floors. It inspires me as well to do more with color in my own home. What do you think about this place?

GO GHENT

Last Monday I visited the Belgium city Ghent for business. It's always a treat to be there and I was lucky to see the Ghent light festival 2012. Amazing how they illuminate the old buildings across the city. Light is art. That's for sure!
