Our new home...



Finally we have moved! I didn't have an internet connection, so I couldn't keep you updated, but now I can start posting again.
Thanks all so much for your kind and warm messages, it's nice to see you all care.

I am still in sooo many unpacked boxes....all around me but some rooms are getting better and I have so far unpacked about 80 I think, incredible how much we have, you only see it really when you have to pack your things...







These are just some random pictures of our new home, what do you think? I still haven't found my way, but we've only lived here for 3 days now. I need some time to feel the atmosphere, to rearrange everything.
I will post soon again, I will start unpacking a box again!

take care,

Solange xx

Little update

I haven't blogged for awhile, but there is so much work to do... liters of paint have gone through our hands and slowly everything is falling into place. We will move next friday so my internet connection is at the new house already...
hope you are all fine and enjoying the vacation or your house.
Soon I will send you new pictures of my new home.

Inspired again



After working long days on our new house, it's easy to sometimes loose inspiration and not see the whole picture. Then I found these beautiful images in French magazines recently and I just got so inspired by them, making me want to make my new home beautiful and warm. Sometimes we need new views or ideas to get started again.

I can't wait to sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy my new house. It will still be some weeks, but I am full of new energy and ideas. Flowers, cushions, silverware, magazines, all so gorgeous.

At the moment the kitchen is being installed and yesterday I went to town with my sister, and I bought 7,5 liters of Farrow & Ball paint (!) it was so heavy (my sister was kind enough to help me carry it and we went straight for coffee and bagels afterwards....) but I just love the colour choice at Farrow and Ball, amazing, I decided to go with the colour: 'Old White'. It will be the colour of my livingroom...


Have a great weekend and I do hope you enjoy this sunday.
