DIY marble tray

I came across this pretty DIY marble tray, made of a marble slab&2 drawer pulls. Nice right?

To follow the steps in making this DIY please go to this blog

Last months were a roller coaster ride. I am so so in love with my two little boys, but they are a handfull! There was basically no time for mommy and no time for blogging.
I am very happy that we hired help. We have a sweet girl that loves my boys almost as much as I do and she knows how to educate them.
Slowly I am trying to become my old self again. I gained a lot of weight during my second pregnancy and I decided that I wanted to loose that during these months. I have help from a doctor that monitors my weight, gives me food advise and gives me mesotherapie. I also get lasertreatment to try to diminish my stretchmarks and get sclerosetherapie to get rid of little veins on my both legs. I go to Zumba classes with 3 girlfiends. The Zumba classes are highly addictive, the first time I laughed so hard, I am hooked.
So now you know my beauty routine, hopefully in a few months I can show you some results.
Another exciting fact is that we might move to a bigger apartment (with a balcony) or house (with a garden). Tomorrow we have our first house tour. We are looking in to something that needs to be reformed. A lot of work, yes but also the only way to get a house to your needs and taste.
I just recently discovered the hippy side in me, which made total sense. I love the hippy chic lifestyle, I will add more of those details to my life and home.

Baby Oliver has arrived!

Just a short note that this Beau Baby has arrived! Introducing Oliver.

Oliver was born on december the 29th 2013 weighting 4.450 kg and measured 51 cm.

To me it was a good and fast delivery. The only bad thing is that Oliver got his collar bone broken during the delivery, as he was a big baby, this sometimes happens they explained me at the hospital. We have to take care we don´t hurt him holding him. After 2 or 3 months it will be healed.

  I took my time to recuperate and enjoy this baby.

 Matteo treats him well with kisses and patting, but we do notice a bit of jalousy when he sees us with the baby in our arms. Talk to you soon, LOVE CHANTAL

A purchase that Kelly Wearstler would approve of

Dearest all, I am almost due to deliver the baby, and my hormones are going nuts.

I have to organize the whole house and I also went to an antique market yesterday and purchased this marble roman foot. I am so so happy with it. I think this is a purchase that Kelly Wearstler (my decor godess) would approve of.

It is now on my coffee table and it matches my roman painting behind the sofa.

I am soooo happy to have found a moment to post again. Oh my I missed it.

Clarisonic

How I love my new best friend, I recently purchased a Clarisonic mia 2, just as a present for myself, and I was amazed how clean my face is after using it. It even diminished a frown line I had on my forehead! I placed it on a beautiful shell that was a present from my mom. It comes in handy to keep my Clarisonic clean. Best buy of the year. xoxo

unusual headboards

I am such a vintage lover, so I was very awed to see that they used as a headboard. 

So what about these wicker headboards, just lovely. To have one of them painted in your favorite color lets it pop out!

What a great idea to use a big vintage mirror as a headboard. This is perfect if you are decorating on a low budget as I have seen many of these kind of mirrors, but found them too big or odd shaped to hang them in a hall above a vignette, but as a headboard its perfect.

It amazes me more and more how multifunctional pallets are. I have seen chairs, tables etc but never as a headboard.

These are 3 very diferent styles of headboards, but all 3 very lovery!
