Sundays ~2~

Have a great evening..

New look

I was struggling with the header, but I finally found the solution...

And proudly I present you my "new" blog... What do you think?

Under construction...

As you might have noticed, my blog has changed.. I'm trying out some new looks.


For the new look, I chose grey and white as the basic colours.
But.... I don't seem to get the right measures for the blogtitle, it's always to small.....


Maybe I'm going for a mix of pictures and a title.. That I'll have to try out...




Any ideas??

Comfy weekends..

My weekend are so precious to me...


~Going out with my friends ~ watching movies ~ in my sunday outfit {comfy trousers and sweater} on my couch covered in my blanket with a book or magazine and tea ~ decorating my home ~


Just some things I like to do on saturdays and sundays..


What do you like to do on your weekends?

"Each cup of tea represents an imaginary voyage"

Today I wanted to show you some of the pictures I took last and this week.

I love lighting candles in the evening....

My new herb pitchers. Now even my herb pitchers fit in.. Don't they look lovely..?

A sneak peek of my new kitchen cupboard..

 


I'm in love with the left fabric!! See the N in the middle..? The lace pillow was designed by me and made by my mom..

Tuesdays..

I love my tuesdays.. At 11.ooh I'm finished at work and the rest of the day is mine..

Today I went shopping with a friend for new Clayre & Eef decoration and I found this big glass that I filled with my white and cream lace..

The letter N, I think, looks so lovely next to the birdcage, I got the letter from a dear friend.

Have a great tuesday evening!



White corner full of inspiration..

I didn't want any completely open closets in my livingroom and as I saw this closet, I fell in love... It's perfectly for showing my home decorating books and magazines, and to hide other stuff like candles.

There aren't that many books yet, but they are such a great inspiration. I keep reading and reading them and everytime I get new ideas...

Besides books, I love home decorating magazines such as Jeanne d'Arc Living and Jo-Anne Coletti's magazines.

Visit their websites and you'll be amazed...

Belle Blanc ~ My first book, my first inspiration.. Many thanks to Mirjana Schnepf and Bianca Aurich!

Shabby chic interiors ~ By Rachel Ashwell, the Shabby Chic Queen.

Inspiration in weiss and Hell & Zauberhaft ~ By Ingela Broling and Petra Eriksson.
I love the look of these books and the pages.. These amazing books are a huge inspiration as well.

Lazy Sundays...

...but with a beautiful vase with roses.

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds 'round my neck."

Kalanchoe love...

As the christmas decoration is almost completely gone, I wanted some flowers for my livingroom and I found these lovely ones, that look like tiny roses.

The Kalanchoe is going on my list of favorite flowers... Isn't it a pretty little flower?

Sundays...

"Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week"

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Pillow love

I still hang on to my Christmas decoration, but I've made the first step to cleaning up and I've put new pillows on my couch.

Fell in love with the bakery flour bag...

Happy New Year

I thought my Christmas cake would be the last one of 2011, but at the party where I'm going tonight, everybody is bringing something and they asked me to bring a dessert.
A good reason for a cake :)

I found it hard to design something, as I find it a difficult theme.
But black, white and silver are festive and work quite good in this theme, don't you think?
Of course there had to be sparkles and I loved the idea of a sparkly 2012 on top.

Have a wonderful NYE and hopefully I can count you to my readers in 2012 as well!

Love,

Nadine

2011

Again, Christmas is almost over and it's only 6 untill 2012....
It's amazing how short a year seems to be....

I've made 32 cakes this year and I loved making them. 

Yesterday, I've made my last cake of the year and I wanted to show you my favorites cakes of 2011.


Thank you for all the visits and comments and I wish you a wonderful last week of 2011!

Christmas 2011

Of course a Christmas cake had to be made..

I hope all of you have a very merry Christmas! Enjoy the cold, warm days with your family and loved ones!
 

My Christmas home

It's been Christmas in this home since early december. I love Winter time and Christmas...

I wanted to show you some pictures I've made of my Christmas decorations. 
They will be more to come..

Wintery bouguet

I found these leaves at the merket yesterday and I fell in love with them. They breath winter and the colours are amazing..
