diy project: painted porcelain

Posted on July 13, 2010 by danielle| 10 Comments

You can easily revamp your white china (from IKEA for example) with a porcelain paint pen (which you can find in a craft store). Once finished, you just bake it at 150`C for 35 minutes and you’re done!

more kids’ spaces

Posted on July 12, 2010 by danielle| 1 Comment

More nursery inspiration today. I am loving the subtle yellow accents in these images that are styled by Susanna Vento. The beautiful Baltic Rocking Horse (top left image) is from Offi. This sturdy rocker has been in production for over 50 years and will never go out of style. The elephant in the top right picture is from Eames. The cardboard cradle (below left) is from Green Lullaby and it is available from Smallable.

It’s going to be a very warm weekend here in The Netherlands. Time to make ice cold homemade lemonade! I usually make mine with limes and fresh mint but there are thousands of different recipes. You can find some recipes here. Have a great weekend!

crocheted bedspread

Posted on July 9, 2010 by danielle| 11 Comments

Today some more bedroom & bed linen inspiration! The beautiful images come from the portfolio of Finnish stylist Susanna Vento. The crocheted bedspread in the image above is just gorgeous. I love these kind of bedspreads and I never can resist buying when I find one. I am now selling some vintage crocheted bedspreads (as I am having too many): you can find them on my Flickr page.

I am not a big fan of the color pink but I love the powdery pink shade in the images above.

holiday mood

Posted on July 8, 2010 by danielle| 2 Comments

Some holiday inspired images to match my summer mood. Temperatures will rise above 30 degrees Celsius (which is 86 Fahrenheit) again in the coming days. Normally I like this kind of weather but it is more difficult to cope with the heat now I’m six months pregnant.

a summer house in the heart of paris

Posted on July 7, 2010 by danielle| 13 Comments

Designer Paola Navone (one of my favorite designers!) has transformed a loft into a summer house in the heart of Paris, France. The designer has played with light and contrast in this large space. The stainless steel kitchen cabinets and appliances make a beautiful contrast with the whitewashed stone walls. A white canvas curtain separates the kitchen from the dining area.

The rectangular table was made from planks that were painted gray and then drilled and stitched together with red string. Chinese chairs are painted in a beautiful shade of green.

Paola designed the huge white couch “Marocco” (top image) for Casa Milano. The white curtains in the bedroom (image below) hide a dressing room. I am loving the tiles in the bathroom and bedroom: such a gorgeous shade of blue!
