interior update - postponed spring chores, done in the fall

November 2024

Postponed spring chores, done in the fall.

The world map wall, which Henk drew in Minne's bedroom in 2004, was in urgent need of some fresh paint.

It felt a bit strange to paint the world away with pale pink paint.

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...

today

This morning I did not have to get up early and lazed on my around the world pillow (cute pillow-swap with Stof Enzo), I made a wood & wool fringe hanger for a Californian baby and Henk brought me some super scrapwood from his today's wood hunt.
