Beau lifestyle apartment

This is it, the painting is finally dry, and mounted on the wall.These are the images of our little apartment that I wanted to share with you. If you read my blog you might recognize the things in the apartment that I posted about. There are still things I want to undertake in our apartment, but for the moment it's done.
Please let me know what you think and I am happy to tell you where I found/ bought the things in our apartment. I would like to thank you, for being part of this wonderfull world called blogging. It has been a huge inspiration for me.

    Thank you for all the sweet comments.

    Kelly: The painting was made with 3 different wide brushed and oilpaint. I made upwards and downwards strokes with many differnt colours and layers, no water was used but terpentine. the dots I have made at the end with bubble plastic.

    Tiffany: thank you for your compliment, I wish I had Jen´s style she gave a lot of inspiration.

    Sherri: the towel is from Zarahome, love that store, probably they sell it online too.

    Jeanne: Our apartment is 927 sq ft (88 sq meters) 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms.
    The chandelier is made by Jurgen bey for Moooi design and is called Lamp Shade Shade from droog design.
    The glass dished were thrifted and were 50 cents each.

    hi there! your home is absolutely fabulous. nice work! where did you get the zebra rug? xoxo! sophie

  25. Beau lifestyleMarch 3, 2011 at 10:23 AM

    ps: got the zebra rug from a clearance sale at a great decoration store in Holland:http://www.loods5.nl

    Horchow is selling the exact same one:http://www.horchow.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=cprod25780132&cmCat=search&searchType=MAIN&parentId=&rte=%252Fsearch.jhtml%253FN%253D0%2526Ntt%253Dzebra%252Brug%2526_requestid%253D8638

    I do find ebay to be a good source for zebra rugs as well, good quality and better priced:

    Your home is absolutely gorgeous. So many wonderful details -- I found myself spending so much time admiring each picture! Great job!

    Also, where did you find the fabric on your couch (the gray and white ikat)? I have been on the hunt for that fabric for a while now. Seeing it in your space makes me love it even more.

    Vanessa, your blog is very inspiring, good taste and the music is divine! Loved it ;)

    Emily the ikat covers were purchased at fabricadabra.com, but i saw nice ikat fabric over at ebay as well.

    Your home is absolutely gorgeous! i don't know where to start with the compliments! i love the open shelving in the dining room and love the items on the shelves. What a great idea to have your jewelry in shallow crystal bowls. And that white bowl on top of the pink and blue books for your keys and sunglasses, etc. What a great idea!

    Okay, one more...I love the photo with the red/orange bowl of lemons. I'm bookmarking this page!

    Raddesigning: They are vintage (holly wood regency) faux bamboo chairs, actually I got them from my moms friend who has a antique store. The chairs were hers for years and she didn't liked them, they were an ugly kind of green with torn seatings. My mother bought them for me (read $15 each!)and had them painted and reupholstered. ( i am missing 2 seats as you can see in the picture, I am getting them done right now) But I have seen them on craigslist, thriftstores and on ebay. Search and search and you will find yours for a steal too.
    haha you had a funny verification word, how do they com up with those silly words :)))
