Today I want to spend a few words regarding how I organized a play corner in the living room, a sad reality that we all parents need to face! Before to start, let me first say: kids have too many toys. And if you look carefully, they play always with the same ones. Enea is not an exception, although we… View Post

May is gone and that means it’s time for the Top 5 of the month! Like I did in January {when I started this new column}, I’m going to share the 5 essentials that I liked the most. Ready? Go! 1.

Living room spring restyle
Last month, favored by a lovely spring day, I changed again the layout of the living room. The first idea was to swap the dining aerea with the lounge area because I wanted the sofa facing the patio. But then the table would have been to far from the kitchen and not so practical. In the end I rotated the… View Post

Ambo should be here very soon, so last weekend we had the pleasure to be photographed by my friend Anki, like we did when we were expecting Enea. This time instead of a natural environment, we decided to go to the Strijp S {and later on to Piet Hein… View Post
The baby room tour {Ambo edition}
Today I officially start my maternity leave. The due date is February 25th, so it’s time to take a deserved break from the blog and the work to focus on baby Ambo. I’ll be here anyway if there is something I want to share, but not with a fixed program like I’m used to do. Oggi comincio ufficialmente il mio… View Post
January 2017 top 5
It might sound silly to start a new column knowing already that probably next month I will not able to write it again {because I still don’t know when I’ll be back!}, but I thought it would be nice to share at the end of every month the 5 essentials that I liked the most, my personal top 5.

Trend inspirations: raw materials
Raw materials are on the covers of the most important design magazines, it’s officially a trend! I have my own vision about it: I like just a few touches here and there, it’s too “rustic” for me and my scandi inspired style. My bed is a good compromise: it’s made of recycle wood but I mixed it with elements in… View Post

I also added new pieces to my collection of enamels: plates,… View Post
