On my bedside table;
Picasso, Friends & Family by Edward Quinn. It's a A charming and surprising portrait of Picasso's everyday life in postwar France. We went to see the photo exhibition in Malaga last June. The book just came out and it was a surprise for my birthday from Henk.

Friday afternoon we picked up Liam from daycare and he stayed with us for dinner. Reading books in the attic room after the bath. Liam loves the children's books that I have read countless times to Minne & Pippa.

Sushi Saturday at our friends in Bussum. All made by Marieke. It was a proper sushi party, including mikodo play with Loïs.

a fresh summer suite

In March 2020 we moved from our cosy attic room to Minne's old room.

We made a paneled wall and painted it Moroccan pink and it turned out gorgeous.
After a few years some of the wooden parts of the wall came loose and then (preferably) fell down at night. First we glued the parts back to the wall with mounting kit or double-sided adhesive tape. But over time, we had to fix so many panels and it didn't look so smooth anymore and after our holidays we decided to tear it down completely.

I smoothed the walls and painted it white a few times, Well the result was neat but boring, so we were looking for a cool bed head, but couldn't really find something suitable. Finally we decided to get the blue & white wooden beach house panels from the attic again. Nonetheless the fresly painted white walls in the room needed more to make it fresh and cozy again.

Different bedside tables with a bit more body? So we shopped in our own stock and with tables from the garden and studio we both got ourselves a 'new' bedside table.

Solely with a big pot of good paint, a new poster and a new bedside lamp, we turned our room into a fresh summer suite!
