According to the calendar it is Spring here in The Netherlands but you would not say when you look out the window (it is grey and wet..). I just came back from my holiday in sunny Mexico. As I am still in a summer mood I would like to show you these gorgeous outdoor spaces. […]

The last in the series about bathrooms is this post with images from the portfolio of stylist Eva Lindh.

I hope you have enjoyed the kitchen and bathroom series!

More bathroom inspiration! I am still on holiday so no long posts but only some eye candy. Hope you like it!

Last week was all about kitchens, the next days will be about bathrooms. Today I start with these beautiful images from Dutch photographer Rene Mesman.

Some more kitchens! These images are from the portfolio of photographer Jake Fitzjones. I myself love that kitchen in the image above. The design is simple but the kitchen looks very cosy! I have seen it before and if I am right this house is from a Dutch family living on the island of Ibiza.

I would love to have a kitchen that is large enough to have a large dining table and some chairs. Above and below some dining areas in very different styles.

I recently saw this gorgeous staircase on Apartment Therapy. The staircase is designed by London-based Levitate Architects who came up with this ingenious solution to solve a book storage problem. Isn’t this genius?!

It has been produced in this city for many centuries and is very popular with tourists visiting The Netherlands. Above are some images from […]

I especially love the use of wood in the bathroom!
Update: a reader just informed be that this is the work of architect Cary Bernstein. […]

But there are plenty more to be found on his blog and […]

This gorgeous loft is located in the 20th ‘arrondissement’ in Paris. There are a lot of elements in this house that I love. For example the mixture of various chairs around the rustic wooden table. The designs that have been used here are from left to right: Jean Prouvé’s standard chair, a repainted second-hand chair, […]
