I thought it is a long time since I showed some pictures from my studio. To be honest I am not using it all the time anymore as I sit a lot at the kitchen table as well. But it is south faced and in the morning when it is still a bit dark in the kitchen I love to hang around. The light is so beautiful in there at that time and I use those moment to work on little projects or to look through the piles...

It seems I am talking a lot about clothes racks these days. I recently wrote about how to customize your coat rack Behind the coat rack there was a big poster ... a bit like I did behind my own with smaller images. Today I got an email from Biggi about how she used that post and pictures to make her own corner. I love to receive mails like that, because after all it is all about inspiration.After...

Picture by Ashley Faye + an unknown sourceThe other day I was having a coffee break with my daughter... I love how she sometimes text me with coffee? But this day she asked me if I was ready to see her new tattoo.

When I recently sold some things online I had this weird experience that when the buyer came to pick it up and saw my kitchen, told me she had a picture of it with the big black star on her fridge... it felt a bit weird but I also thought it was very cute when she told me my home was an inspiration to her. I mentioned it many times before, but I really think it is a great thing we can inspire...

I just came across this beautiful picture of this gorgeous patio with concrete floor of Daniella Witte It looks like the perfect place to end a warm and sunny day. In Amsterdam today it was really sunny, when I was biking home around 6.30 I noticed a sign that said 31degrees! Biking through town on a sunny day like this is a great way to go from one point to the other. I made a little IPhone impression...

I got an email this week saying...... "I've been enjoying being distracted with nice cup of coffee in the studio by reading your blog for over a year now and just thought today i would contact you to say thanks"..... this was a part of the email I got from North London based artist Sue Williams. And being curious about her studio I asked her to sent me some pictures of it and today you find...

Last autumn when my new kitchen was just the size it is now and before I was so lucky to win the VT Wonen competition and getting a new floor for my apartment. I was still painting black walls and playin around with  paper and tape to see how the Bamboo lamp from Ay Illuminate I love so much would look in the kitchen. It remained some time and I took it off when it was getting...
