Today I’m loving … my x-mas tree from Wood & Wool Stool that arrived yesterday. It is beautiful and the white and natural scrapwood matches perfectly with our white Piet Hein Eek scrapwood chairs.

Saturday I visited Flavourites Live in Amsterdam, a shopping event organised by shopping portal Flavourites. Over 160 online shops were present with a booth selling their products during this 3-day event. Together with some more bloggers I got a tour around the cool and urban location (an old factory in Amsterdam). If you like shopping and discovering new shops this is a great (yearly) event to visit. Above some pictures to get an impression of the event.

Today I’m loving .. this original advent calendar designed by Noix de Coc’. It is made up of 24 paper boxes (in which you can put a nice surprise) to build and customize by yourself. Available here.

Julie Klear and Moulay Essakalli, the creators of Zid Zid Kids, are the owners of this beautiful riad in Marrakesh, Morocco. They live in their colourful home with their two children, Noor and Zak.

In their interior they have mixed a contemporary touch with traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. Just like they do with their beautiful Zid Zid collection.

Their two children, who speak French, English and Arabic, have ample opportunity to express their creative talent.

I love the warm colored orange wall.

A Riad is traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden or courtyard.

Of course you can find lots of Zid Zid items in Julie’s and Moulay’s home.

Danish label by nord has some gorgeous new products in their collection. I love their cushions with photo print of some beautiful feathers. And the duvet cover with feather print is just as gorgeous. As all other by nord products, also these designs are inspired by Scandinavian nature.

Here you can see some more by nord items.

I received an email from Saana ja Olli, introducing me to their company and products. Saana ja Olli is a Finnish design label whose interior textiles are produced with the environment in mind, from hundred per cent European hemp fabric. The textile designers Saana and Olli combine olden times myths and magical creatures with traditional Finnish textile art in their new print named Yö metsässä (which translates ”A Night in the Forest”).

The print tells a story about life in the forest. Inspiration came from traditional Finnish lifestyle blended with magical elements, an old weird Finland that never existed. The magical creatures of the Yö metsässä line can be found on cushions, bags as well as sauna- and tea towels.

All ferm LIVING products are now available with a large discount from Le Souk. Only one or two of each items are left in stock so hurry! Click here for all items on sale.

Today some white & grey interior pics from the portfolio of Trine Thorsen. Perhaps the color combination is boring to some, but I do like the calm atmosphere that is created by the neutral colors.
