On my wish list for this year are chairs & tables from French label Fermob. I will be using the furniture in our garden but the chairs can also be used indoors. Ingrid from Wood & Wool Stool is using the Flower Armchair in the colour Carot as a desk chair. This chair, with beautiful flower motif on the seat, is designed by Harald Guggenbichler.

You can easily dress up a wall by using frames. I love the frames (as well as that cute dog in the top image!) in these images.

The images above are from photographer Nicole Hill Gerulat’s home which was recently featured on Design*Sponge. The frames and shelf are from IKEA.

I am not much into pink but I love Yvonne’s study. I also have that For Like Ever poster but I still need to get it framed.

renovated farmhouse in the netherlands

Posted on January 13, 2010 by danielle| 15 Comments

This renovated farmhouse is located in Weesp, a small city not far from Amsterdam.

The owners have completely renovated the house; it was very dated and worn out when they bought it.

Living in a former farmhouse myself, I know that it can be difficult to renovate and decorate such a house as you want to keep the authentical style but at the same time have the comfort of a modern house. The owners of this house have done a great job!

weesp3.jpg

The owners have mixed old elements with new details. I love for example the old army table in the kitchen (you can see it in the top image at the far right) which is combined with new chairs.

Loving that large waste bin!

This residence has been completely renovated but there are still many historical features in place. Such as the marble fire place which can be found in several rooms.

I definitely have Spring on my mind! I am loving the H&M’s Garden Collection. Can’t wait until these beautiful pieces are available (in March) and I can wear them (Summer)!

hmgarden2.jpg

About this collection: Romantic, exotic, glamorous or abstract: this spring’s floral patterns provide an injection of creativity and a love of fashion into your wardrobe. The floral looks are inspired by chlorophyll-green gardens, sundrenched landscapes and even 70s hippie chic flower-power.

The romantic garden collection is made using organic and recycled materials. All the garments have been produced using sustainable materials or using recycled PET bottles or textile waste.
