When we were renovating our house I had these images in my ’style book’ as inspiration for our bathroom. I wanted to created a similar serene atmoshpere and I liked the use of wood in this bathroom. We did not copy this bathroom though (our bathroom looks very different); I just used the images as inspiration to come to a certain style.
This bathroom is designed by New York architects Murdock Young for a house in the East Hamptons, USA.

Isn’t this a pretty image? I love the red chandlier in this room. Unfortunately I can not remember where I found the photo so unfortunately I can’t mention any credits.
Today was the first cold day (and night) here in The Netherlands. Now it is getting colder we must not forget the birds. This bird feeder is created by Sweet Paul. Not only is it great for the birds, but it also looks pretty hanging in a tree. You can find instructions to make one yourself here.
These lovely porcelain objects from coe&waito make a beautiful gift. The cones (image above) are my favourite. Each porcelain pine cone is meticulously hand sculpted, capturing the intricate beauty of natural specimens.
coe& waito is Alissa Coe and Carly Waito from Toronto, Canada. They began their partnership while studying Industrial Design at the Ontario Colleage of Art & Design.
There gorgeous designs are sold by retailers in the US and Canada as well as by some international retailers in Paris, Tokyo and Amsterdam. Check out their website for more information.

Each of Redesign’s fully handmade, resin pieces is a unique creation. Visit her Etsy shop to see all colours and varities.

I will not make any Christmas gift guides this year but I will be featuring some items that make great (Christmas) gift. For example these beautiful pillows handmade by Skinny laMinx. The design has ancient origins: the little drawing of a duiker that is used in repeat is taken from a 2000-year-old cave drawing in the Cedarberg, just a few hours north of Cape Town, South Africa. The Herds design is screenprinted with waterbased ink onto 100% cotton with a linen-look slubby texture, and overdyed in a natural tone. You can visit Skinny laMinx’ Etsy shop here.
It is dark and rainy here in The Netherland. Time to make a trip to Spain! This beautiful finca (= a rural property in Spain) is located on the island of Ibiza in Spain.
The images are shot by Jordi Canosa, a Spanish photographer who works for various interior magazines.
The decoration is simple and rustic. Not much is needed in a gorgeous home like this. I love the beamed ceilings and the white walls.
The outdoor area (below) has a gorgeous view on Es Vedra, an uninhabited island approximately 2 km off the western coast of Ibiza.

You can never have too many candles at this time of year. I like to use glass tealight holders with an antiqued mercury effect such as the ones in the image above.
