VT Wonen - behind the scenes

Posted by dasfseegdse Selasa, 31 Juli 2012 0 komentar

I am pretty sure I am not the only one loving Dutch VT Wonen magazine to bits... and I was really happy to win their floor competition last year. For those who recently joined my blog, have a look at my behind the scenes post. Not only was I happy with the floor but also with the fact that my favorite stylist Frans, did the styling for the magazine shoot.

On the VT Wonen website you can read regular blog posts from a small team of contributors, recently joined by the lovely Jantine from April and May. In their latest behind the scenes blog, the favorite blog Top 3 of VT Wonen Stylist Frans Uyterlinden. Great to be in such good company as my own long time favorite Emma, Thank you!

Adding a French touch {DIY for your bedroom or garden}

Posted by dasfseegdse Minggu, 29 Juli 2012 0 komentar

I added this picture from Hotel Deseo in Mexico on my Facebook page yesterday, I thought this was such a beautiful way to get some shadow and making a cozy corner in your garden.

But it would also be easy to do at home. By using some rope and bamboo, or even by making a bamboo frame only and attach it to the ceiling on four points. Last years summer I made some pictures of an installation like that at MERCI. Hope it will give you some inspiration on how to make something like this for your own home or garden.

Casa Olivi {the renovation of an historical building}

Posted by dasfseegdse Jumat, 27 Juli 2012 0 komentar

As you noticed I am pretty much on a virtual tour and traveling around lately. Here is another great project I found. It is called Casa Olive and is located in Treia, in the heart of the Marches, Italy.

The renovation of this historical building took 4 years, conducted by the 2 swiss architects Markus Wespi and Jerome de Meuron. The outside style has been preserved as the building is protected by the Italian Cultural and History Administration, but the inside has been entirely re-organised according to a luxurious, high comfortable and minimalist style. More info on renting this beautiful holiday home at the Casa Olive website

Karl Lagerfeld

I thought the little cut out portrait of Karl Lagerfeld on this building side along one of the canals looked really cute, like an unexpected piece of sophistication in an total mess.

This is a picture I made of a drawing on the wall of Stock the restaurant next to Amsterdam concept store Options. In Amsterdam we have a say 'rare vogels' meaning 'strange birds' The Damrak where Options is located has lots of Strange birds passing by...

So when the building of Hotel Exchange with its concept store Options and its restaurant Stock was finished. All people who had been involved were asked to draw a 'strange bird on the wall of Stock. Hotel Exchange being a fashion boutique Hotel concept, all bird are fashion related too.

Seeing this beautiful location at first I thought it was some summer home located on yet another Greek Island. But after some research I found out it is located on the Italian Island of Palmarola. An Island about 10 kilometers before the coast of Ponza in the beautiful Tyrhennian sea with appareantly only one habitant!..... Please take me away to this Island a.s.a.p.

Beautiful Italian summer home

Posted by dasfseegdse Minggu, 22 Juli 2012 0 komentar

There is something with about the home of Marco and Francesca Rapana that I find highly attractive... maybe it is the combination of the stones in earthy colors and the white walls but it just feels very pure and basic as if you do not need anything other in your home then some natural and unique pieces and some linen. And how about the outside kitchen and table, I think it looks really amazing! If you like a home like this then have a look also at a previous post I made of the home of Jaqueline Morabito

Love, bonheur and soft tones

Posted by dasfseegdse Sabtu, 21 Juli 2012 0 komentar

First Saturday morning of a my summer holidays... I got up at ten! had some breakfast with cereals and soy yoghurt and a few coffee's. On the mornings I am at home and not rushed out to go to work I love to read my mail, drink coffee's and wander around a bit through the rooms of my home.

Waking up with the image above next to my bed I was thinking of the color-scheme in my home and realized that those who visite my blog sometimes think I live in a totally black and white monochromatic place... Although I am mostly dressed in black-white and greys... with a little blue sometimes.... my colleagues at work somehow think I am still some kind of hippy-girl who lives in a very colorful home with lots of plants ??GASP?? Can you believe how surprised they were the other week when I invited them all to have the workparty here in my kitchen!

Anyway... all this made me decide to make some random pictures throughout my home and spot some soft tones. See you later this weekend when I will be back with some really cool summerhomes.
