love wall blessings

A couple of weeks ago I rearranged our living room and last friday we replaced our TV so we can watch it sitting on our couch again. But it left behind an empty wall with big holes. And while we are gathering courage for painting our whole living room I made a temporary love wall with prints, postcards and drawings containing a heart. Not knowing it would be filled so fast on this mothersday :).
It was a lovely week with some pictures of it on instagram, including our love wall on the saturday evening.

Wishing you all a nice new week!

interior crush

I just love the styling and interior of this family home in a renovated carpentry in Paris. 

Found on MilK Magazine where you can see so much more pictures of inspiring houses and their inhabitants from all over the world.

Last monday our 16-year old black cat Puk died. 

Such a lovely cat. Adored by the children, who were carrying him around the house all day. 

We miss him so much.

A week with so much lovely weather spending time outside while the kids are enjoying their vacation. Making us longing for a long warm summer....

Sometimes he pops up in a nice kidsroom; the white BRIO playkitchen. 

We have a wooden kitchen which we bought for our daughter once and which happens to move from her room to our living room once in a while. 

I love it when playful stuff also matches your adult interior.

have a happy orange day!

Every year we celebrate Queensday on the 30th of April. But this year is a special one, because from now on we will have a King and a Queen in Holland and next year we will celebrate Kingsday on the 27th of April. Organizing games, selling and buying secondhand stuff and having a party together.

Last year we stayed in Amsterdam together, visiting the Vondelpark with the kids. This year I will stay in our hometown with the kids, remembering the wonderful day in Amsterdam together last year.

Enjoy a happy orange Queensday tomorrow!

Reading the new online vtwonen magaloque I really fell for the new dip&dye products. Like beddings, cushions and a serving tray in four beautiful colors: coral, orange, blue and grey.
To take a look at this new vtwonen collection visit the vtwonen-webshop or click and buy in the online magaloque.
