office chairs

The Everygirl

I am in need of new office chairs and I have been in love with white office chairs for a while. I have found one in particular that I love, but also comes with a expensive pricetag. As I need 4 chairs so that will be a no go.

I do came a cross a knock off version with a better price tag here at decosillas

OR

another option will be a reproduction of the Eames chair, I love the original Eames chair, but for the office I need wheels. The idea to sit on a hard chair without any cushion, makes me rethink that. While brouwsing on the internet I found a company who produces wool felt cushions for these type of chairs

.

Really like them in pink or black.

It´s a fifty-fifty situation. Wich option do you like most?

Emil Stejnar Starburst Chandelier

I am officialy an owner of this beautiful chandelier. I picked it up after doing some research on the internet. The seller, Edwin, had this one for sale as he already has a few of them installed in his house. I have been in LOVE with this vintage chandelier since years. Above picture is the clothes designer Betsey Johnson.
I am imagining various option where it could be. Maybe above a bar extension of a coocking island, or above our bed or dining tabe. Endless possibilities.
This lamp was designed by Emil Stejnar in 1950.

Many of these chandeliers are for sale on First Dibs

 This image comes from my most favorite blog Made By Girl, Jen the author visited the Kate Spade Boutique in NYC and they hace these chandeliers in their window display.

I wanted to thank Edwin for selling this chandelier to me, he was very patient as I could pick it up 2 weeks later. Edwin is a graphic designer and his wife Angelique is interior decorator. I have to say, it was one of the best decorated houses I have ever seen in my life! If you need a graphic designer or interior decorator, don't hesitate to contact them. 

Fish scale or scallop

Dear Hettiie and Jessica, thanks for motivating me and get me back to blogging. As you know my new experience of being a mom of a 2+ year old and a 4 month old baby had me very occupied. As we might move to a new place, lit up the fire of my desire to decorate a new place.
I absolutely love the fishscale pattern in tiles and pillows especially.
Something that caught my eye is a marble fishscale backsplash for on the kitchenwall.

I want this for my future house.

Gold scallop fabric from Caitlin Wilson is already on my wishlist. Have to wait untill the kids are a bit older so I am not affraid for dirty fingers or pensil stripes on my pillows.

I admire this 93 year old lady, she is the proof that style doesn´t age. 
Good advise: She prefers to have one simple black dress and a lot of accessories, that way you can create many different outfits.

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.
