Colours of the future


Each year I follow the Colour Envelope by Akzo Nobel. Their book gives an statement of the colours of the future written by a group of colourists, designers and architects from all over the world. Each year they come together. The book is always full of inspiring images. These are from the Colour Envelope 2010.

Lazy summer in interiors


Is it because the sun got shining after a week of rain here in the Netherlands? I'm so lost in these summer interiors. Pictures found in the catalogue of Toast Home.
PS Toast has a summer sale right now!

Lazy interiors


Here are more pictures of interiors on Cabo Polonio, Uruguay, found on the website of Mirjam Bleeker. She makes great pictures!

Cabo Polonio


I've seen these pictures of Mirjam Bleeker in a several magazines already, but every time I see them I get touched by the lazy feeling of it.

Yesterday I visited the main exhibition of the Arnhem Mode Biënnale. As you might know, I was looking forward to it. But it didn't overwhelmed me like the other two editions. I like the way they presented the theme Shape, although. Some things inspired me a lot and I really want to show you these.

Flamenco op Zuid






The organisation of the festival Flamenco op Zuid had so much luck with the weather. There would have been thunder and lot of rain, but it was a great and sunny day in Rotterdam! Great programm, lots of people.
I had so much fun working on this stylingproject and seeing it all come together was great. I had made plans, bought the props... but then it is always on the day to make it al work. And it worked! Thanks everybody for all the lovely compliments!

Our holiday home





La Casa de las Chimeneas. Silent retreat...

Gunpowder drawings


In Spain we visited the Guggenheim Museum. Wow, amazing. There was a huge exhibition of the artist Cai Guo-Qiang. He directed the opening of the Olympics in Being. I was completely amazed of his gunpowder drawings. So beautiful! On his blog you can see how they make it. On this video Cai Guo-Qiang explains how he works.

Landscape patterns




I love rough landscapes, especially those landscapes above treelevel (up to 1800meter). So being in Cantabria, Spain was feeling like coming home. Here are some pictures of the Picos.

I want to go back to this feeling...

I had a really fantastic time in Tudes, Spain. My head was completely clear. I love the mountains Picos the Europa up there and we had an apartment with a view from our bed! More pictures are coming up, but this one says so much about how we felt over there. Lazy and relaxed...

Pia's booksigning!




Pia sended me an e-mail about her booksigning this saterday. It is such a cool event, the American Bookstore Urban Culture Event. I was invited to with my jewellery, but I'm busy with an other cool event: Flamenco op Zuid. So if you are in Rotterdam, come to see me and the Flamenco. But are you staying in Amsterdam, please don't forget to visit Pia!
