They sell unique accessories but their main specialisation is kitchendesign using old wood and a pure and sober look. Next to Kitchen design the team of ÇA-VA works close with professionals on many more projects from bathroom to office. I personally love their kitchens and I remember to have seen themintheir store where I loved the combination of wood, stone and concrete, Not to forget the beautiful grey walls. And I can only dream of a beautiful concrete worktop like the one below (Kitchen in oak and concrete).
For todays giveaway you can choose between this old French wooden chopping board or a set of 2 wooden candlesticks. To make a change to win simply leave a comment under this post and let us know what you prefer to win.

Good Luck! We will announce the winner next week!






Win een oud Franse broodplank of 2 mooie kandelaars
     
Vandaag laat ik jullie graag kennismaken met een van mijn sponsors: ÇA-VA. Een tijdje geleden benaderden zij mij voor een giveaway aktie nadat ik hen jaren geleden had ontmoet. Ik bezocht toen hun winkel in Limburg en scoorde een prachtige oude tolix kruk waar ik nog steeds weg van ben en die een permanente plek in mijn keuken heeft. Kijk hier maar: kitchen update

Ik heb hen gevraagd iets over zichzelf te vertellen en waarvoor wij nog meer bij hen terecht kunnen en dat lees je hieronder! Want naast de verkoop van accessoires in de winkel, zijn zij ook ontwerpers. Het uitgangspunt van hun ontwerpen is zoals zij vertellen een pure, sobere en eenvoudige benadering, iets waar ik mij helemaal in kan vinden. 


Maak kennis met ÇA-VA....
Bij ÇA-VA! interieur kunt u terecht voor een massief houten keuken en maatwerk. Wij zijn gespecialiseerd in het werken met oud hout. Van ontwerp, vervaardiging tot plaatsing.
Maar ook voor het ontwerpen van uw badkamer, woonkamer, kantoor of winkel kunt u bij ons terecht.

Puur, sober en eenvoud is ons uitgangspunt in ieder ontwerp. De materialen spelen een belangrijke rol, waarbij vaak het verschil in textuur al genoeg contrast is.Vanuit de basis elementen, vloer, kleur en verlichting wordt een ontwerp opgebouwd. Door samen te werken met verschillende vakmensen is het mogelijk een perfect eindresultaat te bereiken.

Voor de giveaway van vandaag kun je kiezen uit een oud Franse broodplank of 2 mooie houten kandelars. Omkans te maken laat je een commentaar achter in deze post met jouw keuze. Breng ook eens bezoek aan de winkel of kijk in de webshop!


Good luck! Volgende week maken wij de winnaar bekend!

How to read your favorite blogs | Did you choose your new reader?

Posted by dasfseegdse 0 komentar

As you’ve probably heard by now, Google Reader’s will no longer exist after today! I hope that if you were using Google Reader you already choose another Reader to stay updated with the blogs you read and I mean not only my blog of course :)


I have been using reader for ages and have a long list... there are also many blogs I no longer read because my taste changed over the last 7 years. Pretty normal I think! So the whole thing feels a bit like a new blog chapter aswel as I started looking at all the blogs I have in my Reader. I have so little time to read blogs and a list saying 1000+ unread posts isn't really encouraging.

I already had a Bloglovin account and started using it more and more since the news Google Reader would stop and important all my feeds into it Which is really easy to do in one click! I also set up a Feedly account and again you can import your blogs in just one click. DO it today! However I did not figured out yet which will be my main Reader...

Bloglovin versus Feedly
I love the basic layout Bloglovin has, being overall white. I installed Feedly on my Ipad and have been using it on the Ipad only and I must say it looks fantastic on Ipad but rather boringon my laptop. I love the cards view style (like in the image above) of it and it is really easy and fast to swap between the pages. You can choose different styles like text only, magazine view, small or large images etc. Idid not install boglovin on my Ipad as I am reading it through my browser... but I will have a look if there is a cool App aswel.

When using Bloglovin I love the fact that if I click on a blogpost, I actually go to the blog itself in one click to read the post, which makes it easy to leave comments, we bloggers love comments :) In Feedly you can choose to open the post in Feedly or to open in the blog itself. I think if you are busy (or a lurker) and just want to read the post it is slightly faster. Feedly also allows you to choose a night (black) or day (white) theme.

The thing I do not like about Blogloving is the fact I made folders to categorise the blogs. Like fashion, travel, Dutch blogs, friends blogs and updates keep coming in a long list aswel I want my blogs to just stay in the folder :p In Feedly I am still making folders but for now it seems to work fine.

If you want to follow Vosgesparis with a Reader you can find me here:
- Vosgesparis on Bloglovin
- Vosgesparis on Feedly
- Vosgesparis RSS feed 

If you do not like all these! In the top of the sidebar you will find lots off little black icon's including  new one I made for your Feedly all ways on how to stay updated.

Saturday Inspiration - Manuel Canovas Bengale

I am wild about pink and orange used together and my favorite example of this beautiful combination is the classic and iconic Bengale in Paprika by Manuel Canovas. Here it is in all sorts of applications big and small and all fabulous! BTW, the styling above is fantastic with the Chinese Chippendale chairs in pink ikat, the vintage lucite bar cart, the pineapple, and very good taste in Champagne.

Unexpected Combination & New Inspiration Board

Elle Decor
In this room above that graced the cover of Elle Decor in March of 2007, Chinoiserie antiques and dark colors are brought to life with the unexpected choice with Chinoiserie of a yellow sofa and purple ikat pillows. I love the mix. Here are more examples of combining yellow and purple and Chinoiserie with great results. For even more inspiration, check out my Pinterest board here.

I have used lavender walls, canary yellow Bergere club chairs from Charlotte & Ivy, purple ikat pillows from Madeline Weinrib, a blue and white Chinese garden stool, and vintage faux bamboo chandeliers painted Chinese red

Nick Olsen - don't miss the leopard carpet and Greek key trim on the purple curtains
