It's cold outside - reorganize your closet

It's cold here and for the first time this year I felt I had goosebumps and had to wear vests and scarfs to keep me warm.  Autumn is coming, although I love summer, I kind of like autums as you can snug up the sofa with a hot cup of coco and cover yourself with a soft blanket, reading your favorite decorating magazines. It made me realize, when I get back home I have to re-organize my closet, all the summer clothes and shoes have to be stored. Did you do yours already?

How cool is this frame or mirror that hangs onto the large mirror?

Love the drawers + jewelry  too!

Love tall boots for fall and the hermes boxes

Back in Amsterdam - woonbeurs 2012

My apologies for the radiosilence these days as I had to travel to Germany for work, and i was on my feet early in the morning till late at night dining out with customers and business relatives.
Now I am back in Amsterdam, to rest and spend some quality time with my family and friends and enjoying my pregnancy with them. On saturday or sunday I will go to the WOONBEURS, that is an annual decorating show held in Amsterdam.
I am really looking forward to that as many new concepts and items will be introduced there, hopefully after the show I have tons of inspiration to share with you.

missoni for target

I have been closing my eyes every time i saw posts about Missoni for Target, not wanting to torture myself looking to all those goodies without them being available in Europe.
You guys in the States are so lucky!!!
Please tell me if you were able to get anything today, wich was the first day of the Missoni sales.


picture from my iphone. I recently discovered how to take a picture from your screen.
press menu button same time as the on/off button and voila!

dogs

I am so drawn to pretty pictures with a cute animal in it, maybe it´s because I miss my doggies.

Beau told me that once the baby arrives I will not be thinking of the doggies anymore, probably true...

love them

Blogshop

Reading Holly Beckers blog Decor8, she wrote about Blogshop wich is a Photoshop bootcamp classes given by Bri Emery and Angela Kohler from the blog Blogshop. They give 2 classes the first one is in Berlin the 15th and 16th of october and the next one is held in Paris the 22nd and 23th of october. I would love to go...I do not mind to either to Berlin or Paris, as long they have a place left in their class.

I do not know anything about photoshop and I would love to learn, sometimes I see other blogs with the most unique pictures, wanting to create something nice as well but not having the knowledge makes me feel helpless, so I was over the moon happy to see that there are such cool photoshop classes exist!

Ok so...Beau.. honey, if you read this and they have place, you know I am going ok ;)

Nursery planning

I have a white Ikea baby crib stored in my warehouse, that I used in a proyect a few years ago, and I was thinking of using it for my own nursery. The only thing its quite boring, so I have the idea of ordering some greek pattern O´verlays to add a bit of chicness. Here is the picture of O´verlays used on the Lack table from Ikea

And this is the Ikea Gulliver crib 

I guess these 2 things combined will make a stunner of a crib, that is a fraction of the cost, compared the designer cribs out there.

So this will be my next DIY proyect...

As I am saving on the crib, I thought I might splurge on some nice animal photographs from Sharon Montrose.

I did buy this already:

dwellstudio soft blocks

sophie la giraffe

rompers from petite bateau

fish mobile

Baby Bjorn travel cot

Well that´s it for now, we still have many months to go, so other helpfull things will be added soon.
