cups, cups, cups

I love my new cups for coffee or tea. These stars and colours make drinking so much more
fun. Here we've had more summer days than spring days, it was so hot and sunny, incredible.
Hopefully the sun stays some more, to brighten our days, since I can deliver any time now, and it would be nice to have a some sunshine. I wish you all a lovely week ahead.

long time again....

It's been a while since I blogged, so much going on. The weather has been really good here the last weeks, I feel that definitely makes a change inside our home and outside our home!
We moved some furniture, cleaned and ordered and now things are starting to look better. I am busy sorting out magazines, cutting out pictures I love and getting rid of anything else. it's refreshing to finally tackle the 'to do list' which I never had time for...
Enjoy the weekend everybody!

lights

Lights, lights, please! I love creating atmosphere in our home with candles, especially in the evening, when it's dark.
I am glad with the lighter evenings now spring is coming, and even in the morning, no more shuffling in the dark....what a difference that makes!
Still several weeks to go, until the new family member arrives, so I am busy planning, ordering and re ordering again. I feel like I start to see mess everywhere! I guess it must be the hormones....


wish you all a lovely end of the week.

New book to enjoy

I ordered the latest book called 'Pale and intereting' from Atlanta Bartlett, and it's soo enjoyable and beautiful. Full of light, clear and fresh pictures. It's a real coffee table book, although it ends up on my nightstand many nights ...

here, busy with the babyroom, I bought some blue bunting for our baby boy, which really makes the room beautiful and colorful but without being too much. It's lovely to be able to decorate a baby's room again, since my son of 5 is already in the 'poster' age and starts to like 'transformers' on the wall.... but he does like to move furniture like his mom, so I think I gave him some of the interior bug!

decoration frenzy

I have a decoration frenzy at the moment, I know I always have this, but now especially with the new baby coming, I need to have things in place! quick, and fast.
Of course this had led to me ordering books from amazon again and looking through them religiously...I can't get enough of the beautiful photos, ideas and dream that my house will also look like that, just by buying these books....I know, it's a good excuse!
Being the type of person who loves to paint, move furniture and change objects from here to there, it's not easy being forced to take it easy and not take part in our changes at home.
For the moment I keep myself happy with fruits, and small scale decoration, like pictures and frames, and candles. my husband is left with big projects....

Hope you all are well and wish you all a nice weekend ahead!

Sweet dreams

Waiting for spring, waiting for sun, waiting for my baby....

In the meantime I bought some tulips (they are everywhere in Holland!) and try to eat fresh fruits, to get into a spring mood. It's only February, but I feel a strong need to clean, tidy and get the house airy and fresh.
My 2 new books have arrived, and although they are not new on the market, I didn't have them yet. very enjoyable!

have a good weekend everybody!

renovation and decoration

Finally we finished the renovation & decoration of our top floor. It became very nice and I am very happy with the result. The colours are calm and it gives a whole lot of new living space.

Of the decoration is the nicest part. I especially love the guest room, since I think guest rooms are one of those rooms which say a lot about your feelings towards having guests. It's nice when I am a guest, to arrive somewhere special or cared for.
This weekend we will take it easy and do very little. So enjoyable to just have a long breakfast and maybe look for a sidetable, for the livingroom.
Enjoy the weekend!
