I’m happy and relieved that the style files is back in the air (thanks to Ivar!). I’ve been having problems with hosting party Dreamhost. A few months ago they told me that I needed a private server to solve the downtime problems. I have been paying lots of money for a private server but the problems remained. Then Dreamhost told me that I needed to buy additional resources which I did but this didn’t not help either. So after spending lots of money the style files was still not working properly. Dreamhost could not figure out what the problems was and weren’t very helpful. I have now transferred to a different hosting company (Lunarpages) and gladly most problems have been solved. There are still a few minor things I have to work on such as all the missing links in my blogroll. I will put the links back in the next few days. Anyway, I am glad to be back!
Are you enjoying your weekend? It is a warm day here (again) and I have been working in the garden all day. Now I’m longing for a bath. The one in the image above is perfect for today’s weather!

It is a gorgeous Sunday here in The Netherlands! I will be working in the garden today so not much time for relaxing for me. But this bed would make the perfect spot for a lazy afternoon. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Yesterday’s post with photo’s from the portfolio of Debi Treloar showed my love for neutral colours. I do realise that some of you prefer a bit more colour.
Today’s post is for all of those wanting more colour in their lives! These images are also from photographer Debi Treloar.
I have a soft spot for neutral & taupe colours… These gorgeous pics are from Debi Treloar’s portfolio. This talented photographer is originally from Zimbabwe but she has lived and worked in London for the last 15 years. Debi has worked on publications ranging from Elle Décor UK, Italy, Germany, France and Japan to Red, Olive and IDFX Magazine.
I am loving the ethnic vibe of this interior image that I found on the website of ELLE Interior Sweden. Beautiful!
With a bit of creativity you can transform an IKEA cabinet into an unique object. The pattern in the image above (from Elle Interior Sweden) is designed by illustrator Maja Sten. The cabinet with drawers (PS SINKA) is from IKEA.

With a timeless quality, our pieces are designed and built to last, and we hope work comfortably in a variety of situations, from concrete to country. Our style does not seek to dominate or dictate but we hope instead thoroughly and resonantly engages.”
Another peek into our new house: above our wooden dining table (made from recycled wood that is over 100 years old) we have two Shady Tree ceiling lamps from Dutch designer Nicolette Brunklaus. This beautiful lamp, which is available from online shop POAA, has a large translucent shade that is white on the outside. When the light is turned on a forest scene printed on the inside is revealed.
I am loving this hammock! The hammock is woven with complex Jacquard technique, which is finished with a beautiful and strong finish in the form of a manual Focal weaving, known as macramé and an edging that Brazilians are known as “Veranda”.
I also like this idea of having an hammock indoors like in this picture that I found on Design*Sponge.
