Things that amazed me this week

                      Have you seen this DIY from Gorgeous shiny things? It´s amazing!

This is of course the after

But look how ugly it was before

                           The after...These looke like chic store bought closets but...

This is the before, I almost couldn´t believe it.
The author of the blog Danika is going to be selling these fretwork panels soon, so go and check out her blog Gorgeous Shiny things

Lovely Bri from Me, you and a wiener keeps impressing me, for me she is the DIY godess.
Look what she made this week
These gorgeous faux Malachite chairs with brass detailing.

If you would see these chairs at a flea market, probably you wouldn´t give them a worthy look,
but if you see them after the transformation, they are just amazing.


Another lovely blog written by Veronica of For the Love of Luxe
Bought a vintage Peacock, spray painted it white and mounted it on her wall.
This picture is so Lonny magazine worthy!

Before state of the vintage Peacock.

Keep an eye out for Veronica, cause this girl has some good ideas!
Thanks ladies for your inspiration!

New finds for our home

I have been to the Monday morning market (Maandagmorgen markt) wich is a market for fabrics, vintage clothes, curiosities and antiques. The market is in the hart of Jordaan district, centre of Amsterdam along the famous canals. I do recomend to go here early and pick up some treasures, and do negociate.
Did find some sweet vintge things for out home.
This is the nightstand in my old bedroom at my parents house, the antique cristal lamp is my there always to give enough light to read at night, The Litograph is by Michael Parkes wich I was obessed/loved with as I was younger, I have bought many of his pretty litographs.
The Malachite art deco plant pot is bought today, I am soooo happy with it as it is unusual to see such a large object made of malachite, peach roses as a gift from my mum. The brass olw is also a market find, as the cristal and glass plates to hold my jewelry at night.
