BOND AMSTERDAM

Voordat mijn man mijn man was en wij ook maar vermoedden dat wij ooit zouden trouwen, ontmoetten wij elkaar ooit snel op het terras van dit restaurant.  Bond Amsterdam.  In die tijd een absolute favoriet van mij, waar ik vaak kwam. Ik ben er jaren niet meer geweest, want ik woon niet meer in Amsterdam, heb twee kinderen, een eigen bedrijf en uit eten doen we dan toch vaker in de buurt. Maar vanavond na jaren, een huwelijk en twee kinderen verder gaan we er weer eens heerlijk eten. Met de kids deze keer.
Ik houd van de sfeer in dit restaurant. Een beetje 60s meats 21st century. Donker hout en leer, warme kleuren, velours gordijnen, glansende oppervlakten en glamorous lampen. Have a great weekend!

WINTER WARMTH

A black, white and nude color palet, natural materials and industrial windows. It looks really warm and welcoming dont you think?
This is the work of Lisa Cohen, who photographed these pictures for the winter campaign of australian based brand country road.

WEEKEND

With the weather we are currently experiencing in the Netherlands (grey and wet) all I want to do is put my chair in front of the fireplace, surf blogs with my Mac on my lap and read interior magazines. Within reach some hot tea and Christmas cookies. No need to go outside.

CROSS MY HEART

I am in love with the Pia Wallen cross blanket. The colors and the simplicity of it. Definitely one of my first purchases in the new year.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

I love snow! I cant wait for the first drops to fall. Snow gives me tingles, snow crackles, snow is white, snow is beautiful, snow is just.... magical.
A white Christmas would just be perfect. Unfortunately this is not very common in the Netherlands and we more often have rain (which I dont like!) then snow. But these pictures from stylist Sarah Ellison for Real Living , via My Scandinivian Home would make my Christmas instantly perfect, even if it isn't snowing outside, it is on the inside...
















 

PINK

I am going to share a secret with you; Even at my age I am still a little girl when it comes to pink and I am hughly attracted to this gorgeous color. But there is pink and pink and I only like the 'right' shades of the color. Tricky. When entering a store my eyes are immediately drawn to the section with pink. This could be either cloth, cushions, bedding, books, it just really doesn't matter what. My love for the color pink will never die I guess and therefore my first blog is a tribute to my big love, pink. Same goes for sparkles now I come to think of it....
