mediterranean

The garden feels almost Mediterranean during these last summer days.

oriental poppies

We went to the market today and bought lots of fruits, vegetables and a huge red oriental poppy plant.

sunny lazy friday

We had a sunny lazy Friday at home and in the garden.

Sometimes you don't have to go anywhere, to have that holiday feeling.

canteen table

We have dined at our self-made white wooden table for about 13 years.
Time for a change!

We've been looking for a good alternative for quite a while, however found nothing suitable for our kitchen.

Well finally we found this canteen table and fell in love instantly!
It's a beautiful design with 6 legs and up to 2.4 meters long.

It's a Belgian school canteen table and on the sides of the table are some notes written by students.
Some are really pleasant, so we decided to leave the notes for the time being...
(though 'eat your own shit' might be a bit rude on a dining table)

old school wood & wool stool

The stools from the very beginning are still popular!

Traditional old school colored cover for the stool, that's now living with Paula in the UK.

amsterdam ij-banks

We visited the IJ-banks in Amsterdam last Friday.

It was a lovely Sunny day and we had fun on several banks of the IJ.

round & round

The round pillow is finished and I love it!

The other side of the pillow is s t r i p e d, I like it when a pillow has two different sides.
So I decided to make a new design with the same colors spread evenly over the round.
It was algebra crochet, a huge challenge.
However, I can not recommend anyone to work with eight balls of yarn at once.
The hassle was worth it, the pillow is awesome.

The L O V E plate we bought at Anthropologie in London last April.

Our giant green G moved to the Garden and made room for the beautiful vintage mirror, we found at the Spring brocante of Lammie & Maria in Amsterdam.

The cute shiny pineapple from Oman was a gift from Hinke.

Our Moroccan boucherouite rug in front of the bench is a souvenir from Marrakech.
