interior update

Saturday 27th of July

An interior update in our bedroom with photos from the Marrakech archive and 'floating' cabinet of curiosities made of wire steel.

The XL cigale paintings have moved to the opposite wall.

the ever-changing cupboard circle

The ever-changing cupboard circle in our house.

A number of cupboards will soon leave my studio when Pippa gets her new home.
The cupboards in my atelier are originally Pippa's closets, so I knew I could use them only 'temporarily'.
They are stuffed with wool, books and handicrafts, so a new storage place has to be created.

Since we have enough furniture and I strongly support reuse, we cleared out the tall old wooden hall cupboard.
But hey, where do you put the things that are inside? Vases, paperwork etc...
As a flower lover I naturally have many vases. So the 'less beautiful' ones moved to the storage shed and Pippa is happy with my golden gun vase for her new home.

Next I emptied the steel circle cupboard in the living room (mainly wool inside) and that's the new vase cupboard.

Conclusion; in my studio it's a mess at the moment, it's rather a storage place, with even more wool and furniture waiting for their new spot.

Nonetheless, the 'vase collection' looks pretty behind the round windows of the cupboard.

open doors

Daily routine.

Unpacking the dishwasher.
Open the kitchen cupboard doors and put everything back in place.
Nothing special, a daily recurring activity.
Yet I can see the 'fun' of this daily routine.
All the personal things, the mix of colors, the collections...

and when everything is back in place, close the doors again, because I'm allergic to open doors.

on the inside

A pin board on the inside of the kitchen cabinet.

With pushpins I've pinned some precious postcards and stuff hanging around.
Out of sight until you open the cabinet door.

It annoys me when someone does not close the cabinet door, so that 'problem' is solved too.

circles cupboard

The circles cupboard we bought at Lammies and although it was planned in the kitchen, it ended up on my desk.
Well I can't get enough of the zinnias yet. They just look so damn pretty in that bucket, right?!
