papier marché project

Monday 10th of February

Papier maché project.

This project has been on my to do list for a while. I kept the colorful graphic sheets from last year's tear-off calendar by Karel Martens.

I started the first layer with an old IFFR filmfestival newspaper, covering the base of a table lamp.
I made the glue paste with 1 part flour and 2 parts water.

It's a precise messy and sticky job, however trust the process.

After drying overnight I could start the second phase with some more layers today, this time with the brightly colored calendar sheets.

So far I am pleasantly surprised with the result. The papier maché lampshade and base have already turned out wonderfully beautiful. I can hardly wait until the table lamp is ready for use!

New on the table:

Being Bardot, Brigitte photographed by Douglas Krikland and Terry O'Neill, a gift from Henk.

To me October is the time of year to brighten up the interior. Moving furniture around and making appealing corners.

the new bedroom

Another corner of our new bedroom.

The workspace and television table.

The interior of our much more spacious new room is obviously 'less is more', and we love it that way!

We also reused old pieces and furniture for the decoration of this part of the room.

The table was our previous dining table (a precious 25th birthday gift from my parents) and subsequently used by Minne as a work table. The table top was given a fresh coat of white paint.

A fifteen year old white 'tiny' Sony television.

The table lamp we put together from a new face-base and a reused lampshade we once bought at Cotton & Silk in The Hague.

The bold and vibrant table book Afica Rising by Gestalten is packed with Africa's energy, inspiration, creativity and art.

The handwoven bag is from Nairobi, Kenia.

The vintage boucherouite is an October-2016-souvenir from Marrakech.

I must admit that we also bought something new;
The Panton Chair, a real design classic. The chair was designed in 1960 by Verner Panton and further developed in 1967 in collaboration with Vitra.

The challenge is to keep the room fresh and clear. The balance in the room should not be disturbed by more stuff slowly entering the room...

vintage bottle table lamp

Meanwhile on the canteen table in our kitchen:

Vintage bottle becomes table lamp stand. I took it from our jars collection on top of the kitchen cupboard. The lampshade comes from our attic.

Working on a new stool cover for a special birthday stool of my sweet friends daughter.

As you can see, Lammie also has left her name on our canteen table.

the hallway table

The hallway table.

As in all other places in the house, the composition of the hallway table changes regularly; a lamp, a vase, plates, prints or painting on the wall... (a large basket under the table with scarves and gloves for all family members during winter)

However, the yellow basket is always on the table and everybody throws in his or her keys, when entering the house.
