Let me tell you one thing: Nesting is an actual thing when you are expecting a child. All of a sudden I am finding myself purchasing items to help organize the kitchen drawers (who knew you could color-coordinate tea bags?)… and it just happens to be the perfect excuse to organize and re-decorate every last…
A small outdoor space does not necessarily mean less options when it comes to fun in the sun. As far as our apartment goes, we are very much spoiled with two separate terraces. However, one of those has been terribly neglected over the past 1.5 years… and I will take full blame for it! Last…
While we have an endless love for our apartment, there are certain corners that are like a favorite child (not that I would ever have favorites with children). Our living room with the green velvet sofa and black marble coffee table are definitely amongst those preferred kids. We spend so much time there, I usually…
Summer is over. That’s a (sad) fact. And even though we will spend our free time wrapped in blankets on the sofa, rather than lounging on the outdoor deck for the next four or five months, our new lounge – the Tribu Natal Alu Récamières – has finally arrived. After summer, that is. It was supposed…
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…
Who knew it could take almost a year to furnish an apartment? I definitely underestimated the amount of time that has gone into making our home look the way I had imagined. Slowly, the individual rooms are coming together – some more than others. While the home office / guest room resembles more of a…
This would be a great blogpost to quote Britney’s famous lyrics “Oops, I did it again…”. With “it” being the fact that I spent way too much money on handmade ceramics. By no means, do we have too little tableware, but with Summer just around the corner, I suddenly felt the need for a hint…
Generally speaking, hotel beds are pure bliss. Am I right? Especially the ones at the Shangri-La in Vancouver (but more on that in the next post). However, after traveling for almost three weeks nonstop, this weekend at home (in our own bed) has been amongst the most anticipated highlights on my agenda. Right after my…
The natural thing to do when you’ve lived in the same apartment for 6 years? Redecorate! Even though we are slowly but surely outgrowing our current home, we love the place to death. And since the apartment search over the past 2 years was not quite a successful as we had hoped (the reason being…
I love all things interior. If I could, I would make it a hobby to re-decorate our apartment bi-annually. Unfortunately, that is not happening. Mostly because Mike would probably kill me, as would my bank account. While I would love to provide you with new interior updates on a more regular basis, the problem is…
