color story

Color story of the new bedroom.

And yes, my first painting made it into the bedroom!

Moreover Henk surprised me with a cool Majorelle blue table, on his side of the bed.
As agreed, we both bought 'our side of the bed' part separately.

The room is awesome, things go together so well. We hadn't really planned this in advance, but it worked out well.

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...

we booked the bedroom for easter

We booked our new bedroom for the Easter weekend.

We transformed Minne's old bedroom into our new bedroom and moved from the attic to the first floor this weekend. The wall size world map that Henk once painted has remained, but furthermore the room underwent a metamorphosis.

We have been working hard in recent weeks, cleaned thoroughly, made a panelled wall, painted the floor white (twice), finished all the unfinished details from the last 15 years.

We reused most of the furniture, dyed the duvet cover and added some sentimental treasures and art work.

We agreed to buy as little new furniture as possible and we both would style our side of the bed.

This is my side off the bed;
I chose a design classic from Kartell, the componibili as a bedside table and borrowed the H.T. Huang toucan lamp from the living room, which we once found in Palermo.

To compensate for the inescapable stay at home, we treated ourselves with a fresh spacious bedroom.

The end result is far beyond expectations, I think... and I will show you the rest of the room soon.

Happy Easter to you all!
