Ikea hack done - Highchair

our chair

Remember I was inspired by the ikea hack i wrote about here, done by dwellings by devore, well I did it! I am so happy with the result. Chic gold legs and a vinyl monogram purchased in derikson´s etsy shop. The easiest DIY ever done. I am on the run, got to pick up Matt from daycare, will read your comments and reply soon!

Blog exchange

Dear all, It´s time to organize, clean up and better yourself. At least that is what happens to me when the sun comes out and I feel the change from winter to spring.
I am going to clean up my blogroll, there are some blogs that don´t exist  anymore and it´s time to add a few new and fantastic blogs.
Do you have a nice blog, and do you post a few times a week, please let me know and maybe I can add you to my blogroll, if you can do the same for me. I want to add aprox 7-10 new ones. I will make a selection, can´t add them all, just to warn you but I will pay your blog a visit for sure.
Let me hear from you and we will talk.
Love.

Tea Station

Hello! How was your weekend, mine was lovely, it´s great to be back and to be healthy, I am full of energy and I feel I have missed out on so many blogposts! I did nice things this weekend with Mr Beau and Baby Matteo, and had some time to rearrange some things in the house. I am still very fond of the lucite side table I bought in Zara home a few years ago, I had beautiful antique glass decanters placed on top of it, but with Matteo´s fingers touching them, I was afraid he might break them and so I stored them away. Now I use it as a tea station, I drink a lot of Chinese green tea, and these things all together could break, but are not that fragile as antique decanters.

Good quality wrapping paper with snake skin print I have placed underneath the lucite top on my wooden chest, I am very happy with the result.

All pictures taken with my new iphone 5, thanks dad for giving it to me as a present, love you!

Lonny magazine

Hello everyone, you might ask where have you been? I have been ill, I still am. Sinusitis, Gastritis, Flu...you name it and I have had them these days, also baby Matteo was sick and now mr Beau got it too.

I am recovering and happily sitting behind my computer sharing this pretty picture from the march edition of the Lonny magazine.

I am still loving the combination of lucite and gold, snake skin tray, cow hide and that desk+chair, just beautifull. Only thing I would change is the lamp, too granny style for this space.

I like to see how other organize their jewelry

Matteo´s birthday

Wow, these days are passing by fast. Saturday we celebrated Matteo´s 1st birthday for a couple of friends and close family. We did little party preparations, balloons, garland and home made food.

Just to give you an idea as I felt a little under the weather and didn´t shoot some pictures during the party.

1 year!

Our little one turned one today! This year flew by and now he´s a toddler...This weekend we will have a birthday cake to celebrate it. I took this picture this morning, he is so adorable with his number one medallion. We have been so blessed with Matteo, he´s very social, loves to be around other kids, people and animals. But this adorable face has quite a character, he knows what he wants and will make sure he gets it. He starts walking any time soon, many people told us, that it´s going to be an exhausting time...really, even more? We enjoy being with him every day, and we are very proud to discover more and more about his developments.

I bought Matteo some flowers for in his room, of course out of reach, as these common grapes are very pretty but also toxic. They do look sweet in his blue room.

And some pink tulips and white ranunculus for mommy, flowers make me happy.

Picked up this vintage white milk glass vase in last visit in amsterdam while flea market treasure hunting. It reminded me of coral, one of my favorite things.

Chalet in the Alpes

            
I am a big fan of wood painted white, so when I saw this dream chalet in the Alpes, I was sold.
We have very cold weather these days, we even had snow in the city, last time that was 10 years ago.

Love the retro bubble chair
