My dear friends Anki and Lonneke, in partnership with Snor and Kitsch Kitchen, organized a Bloggers market last Sunday in the Molen de Ster picturesque set. While we were outside selling our thrifted goodies, inside the kids were very busy with every sort of creative activity. And an improvised circus in front of us was cheered by soap bubbles!

Little garden in progress
Since we moved to this house every year we grow our own little garden.Few years ago we bought a wood structure that has to be filled with soil and we placed it on the roof terrace above the kitchen {the perfect spot because always on the sun!}. We start from the seeds and then when the little plants are ready,… View Post
Brabantia #LOVENATURE
The smell of the cleaning laundry on the sun is one of my favourite, along with the grass just cut and the skin after a dive in the sea.I do the laundry every three days {alternately our clothes and Enea’s}, and I use a fast {mostly cold} program, to save time and money. Now that the good season is finally here,… View Post

Although I have mixed feeling about it: during this fair anyone is spinning around to see… View Post
Dreaming of… a Togo sofa
I love my sofa, I think it’s perfect for this space {do you remember when I told you about the “big mistake”?}. I’m thinking to remove one seat and use it as a armchair, but I’m still in doubt about this move. Anyway, if I really have to dream about a substitute for my SÖDERHAMN, this would be the Togo… View Post
Hallway file #1
The entryway is facing another restyle, a new file is officially open.Lately it was too crowded and Enea’s stroller is not helping to keep it tidy. I decided to move the white PS cabinet upstairs and to use only the turquoise for the seasonal shoes and for the scarves. The coat hanger will be moved on the other wall and… View Post

Here my last “file”: is not even a proper “diy”, it’s more a “revamp”. The… View Post
