FOR THE HOME: al fresco dining

While Mike has been gone on a boys’ trip to Ibiza for the past 5 days, I took the opportunity to get a few things from my personal to-do list done, including a little table for dining up on the deck. We’ve had a lounge area for the past 2 years, which comes with a “coffee table”, but it was simply too unpractical for eating. For this summer, I actually want us to be able to sit down at a table for some al fresco dining. So as soon as the boys were gone I headed to IKEA the next day and found the perfect little (folding) table that sits 4 – or maybe 6 if we all cuddle – and can easily be folded away when we’d rather use the space for dancing, tanning, … I am beyond happy with the outcome and can’t wait for lots of amazing meals outdoors.

    …and light a candle. I am a huge candle lover. They are placed all around the apartment and on rainy days or evenings spent on the sofa, there is always a candle burning in our living room. Candles are a perfect way to set a cozy mood, but they are also a source of light….

    Well, not yet – but hopefully some time soon. We are coming up on the one-year-anniversary of living in the “new” apartment. Funny I still call it that after eleven months, but our home still feels like a new blessing. None-the-less, eleven months has somehow not been enough time for me/us to get the whole…

    I have envisioned writing this post so many times over the past 6 months, that I have lost count. And still I don’t think words could ever describe the excitement, hard work and happiness that has led up to THIS … which will be the start of something amazing, big, shiny & new!

  • CRAVINGS: birthday presents.

    This week, there is literally nothing I am craving. After an entire week of birthday celebrations, I am the happiest camper. My friends and family spoiled me rotten and I got so many amazing presents – more than I could have wished for. Instead of my usual wishlist on Sundays, I thought it would be fun to share what I got with you guys today. I honestly feel so blessed to have such generous people in my life, who know me so well that they got every single present 100% right. ♥

  • CRAVINGS: Louis Vuitton Noé

    It’s no secret that bucket bags have become quite the must-have since last year. It took me a while for them to grow on me, but now I have officially fallen for the convenient every-day bag. There were quite a few different bucket bags on my radar, including the obvious Mansur Gavriel, this version by Saint…

  1. This looks like the kind of place I’d def want to have dinner. I have been using the heck out of my Ikea patio table lately, one of my favorite things about summer!

  2. Es sieht richtig schön aus. Ich würde wirklich gerne mal auf deiner Dachterrasse einen Cocktail mit dir trinken!
    Ich bin auch gerade zwei Wochen “home alone”, ganz ohne Freund. Ich muss schon sagen, dass ich die Zeit alleine auch mal genieße 🙂 Wie sieht es da bei dir aus? Kannst du es auch genießen und endlich wieder mal “Mädels-Dinge” ganz ungestört tun?
    Liebe Grüße, Ronja

  3. einfach wundervolle Bilder 🙂 mich würde interessieren mit welcher Kamera du diese Bilder gemacht hast!

  4. Oh den Tisch hätte ich vor ein paar Wochen auch fast mitgenommen! (Nur mein Budget sprach dagegen..) Der ist wirklich toll und sieht super aus auf deiner Terasse! Ich fand die Qualität auch sehr gut beim Testen.

    Falls du mal keine Idee für einen Blogpost hast – auch wenn es glaub ich schon einige in der Richtung gibt – könntest du vielleicht nochmal schreiben was für Pflanzen du genau auf dem Balkon hast. Bei mir scheint auch immer voll die Sonne drauf (Südseite) und ich hab das Gefühl, dass die meisten Pflanzen das nicht so gut vertragen. Bei dir sieht immer alles so schön aus!

  5. Hallo
    Wunderschöne Terrasse! Woher hast du den Tisch? Bin schon lange auf der Suche nach so einem schönen Tisch.
    LG

  6. Liebe Vicky,

    Kannst du bitte verraten, wo du diese schönen runden Windlichter her hast?

    1. Hallo Candie,

      die sind leider schon circa 2 Jahre alt und ich hab sie damals bei einem Sale von Westwing.de ergattert.

      Liebe Grüße,

      Vicky
