Woonbeurs Amsterdam

Last Saturday I went to visit the Woonbeurs fair in Amsterdam, I will let the pictures that I have taken speak for themselves...

simple and good idea, these little glass floaters, that looked like donuts.

They made the roses float, so you need only 5 roses to fill up a vase.

I liked these 3 mirrors used at the stand of MTC magazine

Above 2 pictures MTC stand. I like this fire place for a dreamy house in a future.

This picture and nect was the stand of Ariadne at home magazine, for me it was the nicest decorated stand of the fair

Cupcake decorating with kids

Dutch design, flux foldable chairs

Free decorating advise with stylists

The 2 lovely sisters Lotte Dekker and Gieke van Lon of Humade

How cool is that? With the repair kits from Humade you can turn the cracks in your cups and plates

in to art with golden glue!

Finally at the end of the day getting a tête a tête meeting with Mariska, she was so busy, her designs are mighty popular. Mariska gave me a little present from Mariska Meijers design. She writres the blog I used to be snowwhite but I drifted, I posted about her before here

Riviera Maison

Just some quick pics from a lovely Dutch store called Riviera Maison, wich is my

mothers favorite store. They have daily fresh flowers and furniture that is a mix of South of France and the Hamptons. They have a few shops in Holland, and it´s a must go when you visit Holland.

New girl in the ring - Magpiece

If you are looking for a fashionable and affordable gift or do you want to spoil yourself with some cute jewelry, have a look at MAGPIECE. Especially with the change of season, as we change our outfits we need some new bling to match our wardrobe.

Magpiece is a new online jewelry store based in Holland but ships worldwide, I just ordered some pieces myself. They offer earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces and more to come.

The owner of Magpiece is Engeline. She started her company recently after having enough of working in the hard corporate world, and wanted to follow her dream, being a business owner.

She told me since she started the Magpiece company, she has been happier than ever, making a jump of joy with every order, doing her best to pack the item as pretty as possible to make it feel as receiving a present. Engeline travels to many countries to establish a nice collection that you can buy online now.

Bib necklace black

Reindeer necklace (how cute for christmass)

Snake ring

They come in colorfull and satin pouches, great to use during travelling.

Tolix chairs

Sometimes it's difficult to choose wich dining chairs match your diningtable, I have a few favorites like lucite chairs and bamboo chairs, but I have to add another one called Tolix chairs. I have seen them in magazines and at blogs, but I can't get enough of them, especially that they come in so many diferent colours and they give a nonchalant chic feel to any table.

They can be electic yellow

Industrial

chic & inviting

How great is it to own an authentic antique statue...

This to me gives a french feeling

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
