Normal gets you nowhere

Posted by dasfseegdse Minggu, 15 Januari 2012 0 komentar

Having some more days off last week I had plenty of time to wander through my city... The thing I really love about living in Amsterdam is that there is so much to see and explore all the time, like new shops, galleries, a new part of the old harbor turning into a hip space.You only need time to discover it all.

So last week I had time and went to some bookstores, where I picked up the Kelly Cutrone poster. Not only did I loved the real life show of Kelly Cutrone about the hectic around Fashion week {you may hate me if you thought it sucked} I really love the title of her new book! I also added the Batgirl poster to the wall in the hallway, using black masking tape in stead of framing it! I think it looks really fantastic and basic like this.

And I finally went to have a closer look at new department store Options Where I bought a huge glass vase. Taking off the bubble wrap and tape I thought it would look good on the wall, as I love the word 'Options!' I really believe that if you step out of the box and just ad random things you love to your walls, it will make your home look different and a reflection of who you are.... Normal gets you nowhere ;)

Art + Chalkboard walls at Velvet

Posted by dasfseegdse Jumat, 13 Januari 2012 0 komentar

Via Pinterest I came across a picture made by Designer and Stylist Sania Pell, author of The Homemade Home I emailed her about the picture. And told her how much I loved the photos of café-bar Velvet, she made in Zagreb. We had a lovely conversation and she told me how much she loves MERCI as well.. Ofcourse I gave her the adress of Restaurant Grazie a few blocks down to MERCI in Paris. A different, but beautiful place like this one.

The interior of cafe and gallerie Velvet is the vision of the talented Croatian contemporary artist and florist Saša Šekoranja. And I love the combination of greys, blacks and the little red details .. like the red stamped numbers on the tables and the legs of the chairs. I remember loving that kind of details in the cafe of MERCI as well last summer. More pictures of Velvet and the work of Saša Šekoranja can be found on Sania's website and on the Velvet website.

Lovely white ceramics... also to be found on the XL - Danish design tea towels we are giving away on the concept blog - competition open till Januari 23

In case you are going to Paris this month and are visiting MERCI Being my favorite shop in Paris, I see it as a must of course if you ask me.. You can still play and make different words with the letters from Kidimo till Januari 14. On their site you can also make and order your own unique word!

I was planning to add a text to my wall in the living since painting it and taking everything of the wall, that is now placed on the low cabinets, {see my previous post here} and it might just be one of my favorite French words. Wondering what word you would make !

You can also visit Kidimo (2nd arrondisement)

Hello you all and welcome in the new year! I think it is gonna be a great year in blogging land! Looking back at 2011..... there were lots of black and whites, with pictures from my home and around the web. The discovering of many new blogs.... some serious addictions with making mood boards and Japanese masking tape.

Lots of ramblings about my favorite lamps, Paris, concrete... a nearly finished masterplan and home renovation .....and hopefully lots of inspiration! Here is last year in pictures from friends, myself and inspirational places and people! Thank you for all your friendship and kindness and welcome to 2012
