This 19th centruy building near Brussels, Belgium, used to be a mirror factory. It was transformed into a beautiful guest house by owner Philippe ten years ago. With a lot of imagination and energy Philippe managed to turn the old factory into a warm and welcoming place.
In the large dining room, which also serves as the kitchen, a huge collection of earthenware and glassware is being displayed on shelves rising to the ceiling.
In his studio Philippe has built a huge library taking up the entire length of a wall.
The gorgeous bath tub is a remake of a 1900 model.
The guest room called “La Vie d’Artiste” (image above) lives up to its name. A large canvas painting of three large cushions resting on a pillow hangs on the wall and serves as a headboard. More information about this charming guest house can be found on on the website of Chambres en Ville.

I love the simplicity of these images. This is a very quaint home. Lovely
I just bookmarked this whole house, but what I really really really love is that claw-foot tub. I’ve been on the search for my dream claw tub and I just found it.
This is wonderful. And that dining room / kitchen overflowing with china and pottery? I don’t know what I love more, that or the filled-to-the-brim bookshelves. A dream. Beautiful, well-edited blog. Marija
