to shop: onshus

Last month I went shopping for presents at Loft. A great dutch store for interior products and clothes. Since june this year they also sell products designed by ONSHUS. A dutch webshop with a great collection with a scandinavian twist. Love their wooden houses and lamps. Take a look on their site for more basic products like their handmade white tableware.

You can also follow ONSHUS on facebook, twitter, instagram and pinterest.

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.

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.
For all avid DIY followers you can find a step by step instruction for natural fabric dyes on Scoutiegirl.

 

blog break

Some of you might have noticed that I don't post my blogposts as frequent as I used to do. Don't pin lovely inspiration on Pinterest. Or share pictures on Instagram.

While feeling uncomfortably empty at the moment I decided to take a blogbreak. To finish my study within the next two weeks, but most of all to spent time with the kids in my spare time and recharging my energy and inspiration. Planning to be back somewhere this springtime, perhaps with a new concept and look for my blog.

Announcing my blogbreak with a picture of the WOOD SIGN made for me by Ingrid from woodwoolstool. Particularly special because I started my blog in october 2009 with a post about her beautiful shop and her blog filled with great pictures and inspration.

A blogpost called: every day is worth celebrating!

With love!

etalage BL-ij by Geertje Aalders

In the eastern part of our country there are unfortunately too little great interior design events. So nice to have discovered the Dutch Design Market in Arnhem!

A couple of days a month designers sell unique clothes, accessories, interior objects and art. Taking place in a pop-up store with a great industrial look in the Koningstraat.

The next Dutch Design Market is held on 1 December.

Just imagine visiting the DDM, getting inspired at Sissy Boy Homeland, doing some christmas shopping at Van Mij, buying paper presents at BL-ij and enjoying apple pie or lunch at Dudok......
