home visit: tiny summer house

I really like small spaces that are well executed. This small summer house is a great example. You can really see all the space on these images. When it's designed and fitted like that, you really don't need anything more!

monday's mix – national day in iceland

Monday, the 17th of June is the Icelandic National day. 

The photos are quite symbolic for that day. People try to enjoy it. It's a holiday. Children love it. 

We go down town to have some carnival-family fun. Most likely some ice-cream or other sweets.

Enjoy good food at home and if the weather is nice, maybe outdoor dining. 

And for me I always feel the summer really starts this day...

although the weather doesn't agree with me often! 

But, let's have some fun...

home visit: this friday to melbourne

I wouldn't mind spending the weekend in Melbourne and in this cool and chic house. For me this is a hit – sorry I know and can admit my weaknesses for layering houses, effortless and personal environment and easy attitude at home. But as much as I love this look, I love something else as much. I'm truly open minded for different styles and feel so many things are beautiful. That's what I have in mind on the blog: everything I post I feel is interesting and worth being there.

from here and everywhere...

I had to clean up my desktop a bit yesterday and I had saved these images for some reasons.

I can tell you why? 

Because I really like the little cottage above. Many of you might think of this as a 

house for guests but I would love my bedroom in the country to be similar to this, 

regarding space and set up.

Outdoor chandelier. Easy DIY project. Fairy light in a basket.

How colourful and lively. Great idea to decorate dull areas. 

So true, isn't it?

What is this? How nice!

design: out of this world

I came upon this remarkable artwork on my daily browse on the internet. This amazing project was a collaboration between the belgian architects Pieterjan Gijss and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh. The project is called Reading between the lines and is a 10 meter high seethrough church based on the design of the local church in Limburg, Belgium (where it stands). The project is based on the concept of transforming the traditional church into a transparent object of art. Read more on gijsvanvaerenbergh.com.
