For Rent - Amsterdam city center apartment

This white oasis in the city center of Amsterdam is for rent right now and it is owned by a good friend of mine. It´s a true pleasure to help her out, cause this apartment is a true gem and normally it´s hard to find a perfect place in Amsterdam.

It´s on at the Utrechtsedwarsstraat wich is a side street of a lovely shopping street and the Amstel canal.

This apartment is 100 square meters and is a masionette, groundfloor (kitchen, livingroom and garden) and 1st floor (2 Bedrooms and a bathroom) If you are interested please send an email to: cst2210@hotmail.com 

Doormat

Do you know this? I try to have to have the house tidy and organized, but it seems when you least expect unexpected visitors the house is always a mess. I need a doormat like this, at least you can joke about it! 

Instead I have this doormat, TRAMPA from Ikea.

Really like the print and it´s pricetag of $14,99

multi funcional kitchen

Hello, hello...yesterday I officially had the most busy day of the year and I felt like a multitasking pro! I couldn´t make it to sit down and write a relaxed post, so no you have my full attention again.

This dining area is very multifunctional, the tables has drawers for kitchen utensils and it makes the kitchen a whole lot bigger. Recognize the lamps frommoooi design? I have the same one above my dining table and i love it every day.

I love the marble top on the dining table, makes me want to own one.

I look forward to live in a house one day with doors that go to the garden from the kitchen, very handy when having dinner in the garden.

Childrens art - what to do with it?

I found this such a neat idea to hang up all the drawings and kids art that parents may have wandering in their houses.

This is a drawing that my best friends daughter made for Matteo, I framed in an Ikea shadow box.

graffiti walls and adore magazine

I absolutely love the graffiti walls Nicole from Sketch painted on a wall at a bachelor apartment in NYC, it´s features in Adore home magazine.

I would really want to try this at home, but instead of black paint I would choose a more soft color or gold. Oh my...I am getting myself excited for another DIY project.

If a wall is too much for you, a painting is an other option.

To get back to the Adore magazine:

Room by Ana Cordeiro

Room by Mariska Meijers

Both of these rooms are featured in Adore Magazine, and I have met these 2 lovely ladies in Person, Ana in Lisbon and Mariska in Amsterdam. Does it mean that this bloggers world is small or that I have been incredibly lucky to have met these talented ladies?

Matteo is 3 months

Hello, hope you had a great weekend!

Our little (big) boy is growing up so fast! Matt is the boss, he will let you know what he wants and he means it, he has quite a caracter and wants to sit up as a big boy. He loves to hear us sing and he likes to see cartoons, totally mezmarized he is... but that we discovered in pure need, it´s the only way to get him to stop crying if it isn´t food, dirty diaper, disconfort etc...

He is now oficially 3 months and a week old and I am so happy to be a mum, it´s the best thing that ever happened to me.

Happy first of June

Happy first of June! I salute you from the Sunny Spanish beach where mr Beau and me spend the afternoon. Matteo spend the day at the grandparents house in the garden so we had some quality time for us. This picture I took today with my iphone, I had some giftcards to spend in the El Corte Ingles department store and a gold watch was on my wishlist quite some time. I was really doubting between a Michael Kors or Marc Jacobs, I chose the last one, and its so pretty. I am on my way to pick up our Baby, the weekend has already started. Enjoy!
