Fijn weekend!

Hallo allemaal,

Joehoe, de meivakantie is begonnen! 
Voor mij betekent dit twee weken relaxen, leuke dingen doen met vriendinnen 
en hier in huis het een en ander opruimen.

En voor jullie?


Zoals iedere vrijdag, was er gisteren weer markt in het dorp en heb ik deze witte hortensia gekocht. 
Wat zijn dit toch prachtige bloemen.. 

Een plaatje vind ik het; de hortensia in de terrine, gecombineerd met het kleedje en het luik op de achtergrond. 

Fijn weekend en voor wie vakantie heeft, fijne vakantie!

Lieve groet,

Nadine

Another corner

This week I received my two antique stable windows, that I bought online. Unfortunately one of the two was broken and the other didn't look at all like the two shown on the picture. 

I was very mad, very sad and will not think about it at all anymore. Just one word for the mister who sold them; Karma. 

This window is still intact and looks perfect on my chest of drawers combined with my ‘antiques’ sign, my candle stand from House Doctor and two old lace spools.

Tomorrow I’m going on a shopping/brocante spree, hopefully I will find lots of new things that make me forget this week’s purchase..

Have a wonderful week end! 

Love,

Nadine

Just because

Hi everybody,

Just wanted to wish you all a lovely week end with this picture of hyacinths in a shabby ceramic pot my aunt found on the market.
Isn't it a beauty?

I've started decorating for Spring and Easter and will soon show you some pictures.

Love,

Nadine

Old book shelf

Yes! I've found an old book (wine)shelf!

A while ago, I've visited a lovely lady. She has a gorgeous decorated home with white and grey walls and white furniture and decorations. It all makes a perfect picture and is a great inspiration. She also had this wine shelf for her books and magazines.

I didn't had a closet for my books and stalled them at the top shelf in my corner closet.

Yesterday I found this wine shelf on the internet and had to have it... It fits perfect next to my tv cabinet and can hold all my books and magazines. I love the combination of the iron and white/pastel colored books.

Have a wonderful evening!

Love,

Nadine

Noël 2012 Part I

Hello dear readers!

Last week I finally had the time to make some pictures of my Christmas decorations.

As you may know, Christmas is my favorite time of the year.
But are there people that don't like Christmas?!

I love turning my house in a cozy, winter home with beautiful decorations and wreaths. And seeing snow outside my window makes me smile big time. 

It's my second Christmas in my own house and I've gathered lots of new Christmas decorations.
Last year I used lots of bright colors, this year I chose white and antique silver. They both have their own charm. Although white and silver fit better into my interior.

I love pine wreaths... They give an instant Christmas feeling.

This year I had to buy all new decorations, I didn't mind at all ;)

How cute is that birdie?! I already bought one last year,

luckily I've found another one.

And the lace heart is so pretty, don't you think?

An adorable white angel..

My little Christmas corner in my living room.

My own "Rudolph" <3

Ssttt.. This wreath is hanging there since last Christmas, without the lights it fits perfectly into my home.. In 2013 I will search for a new wreath!

My new favorites for Christmas, mercury glass ornaments...

I love their old, vintage look.

There are some more pictures to come, but I think you'll have a good image of my Christmas home 2012.

Have a wonderful week!

Love,

Nadine

Sunday in Fall

Just wanted to wish you a wonderful Sunday!

Autumn corner and doily lights

How do I love Autumn.... 
Last week I've made a little Autumn corner on my living room table. I'm still in love with baby boo pumpkins and my tiny cloche....

On Pinterest I saw this lovely idea of lace doilies around a votive candle glass. It looked so pretty and easy to make. Last thuesday my sister and I made them at home. Don't they look cute?

I decorated little glasses (the onces used for Ikea candles) and my sister a big and little glass. 

Have a wonderful sunday everybody!

Welcome Autumn!

It's Autumn....

I prefer the cold, cosy days above the warm summer days, walking around the house in sweats or pyjama's in the evening, lighting candles with the smell of Autumn and decorating the house.

I started decorating this week, so I haven't got many Autumn decorations, but here's a start. 

Have a wonderful week end!

My little white home on Facebook

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy me! My home on a website..

A few weeks ago I received a message of Jussi from a Dutch website: Alles Brocante. It's a website that has everything to do with "brocante"; the French, shabby chic and country life style. They give you ideas for redecorating furniture and tell you about new websites and stores. 

Jussi asked me if I would like to participate on a new column on the page; "Binnenkijken" ("Looking in"). 

In this column bloggers show the homes or rooms in their homes to give readers of the website, ideas and inspiration for their own homes. I was overwhelmed and so happy at the same time to be asked.. 

I had to send in some pictures of one of the rooms and answer a few questions. I chose my living room, as it is my favorite. 

The article just came out and I would love to share it with you; here you can read the article. 

French door blind

Two weeks ago I found these French door blinds as you may remember. 

Yesterday I've painted the bottom parts in a white chalk paint and sandpapered it. But I'm not so happy with it.. I think I will paint it again in a more cream color. 

But it's the perfect place for one of my French blinds. Photographed with the last pioenies of this year..  

Look what I found today..

Today was my lucky day...

Every year my town organizes a Village Fest, where there is a band, the shops are open, you can buy food on the street and children sell their old stuff. 

This morning my sister and I were looking for old things and then, there they were, calling my name.. Two, very old, French door blinds. They need some paint, here and there, but they are perfect. 

Ever since I've moved in, my wish list contained finding white old French door blinds. 

As the owner told me the price, I was even more happier. 

I don't think he knows what they are worth.. But, oh well.. They're mine now :) 

Have a great Sunday!

My little corner..

Yesterday I bought a white flower table. A while ago i bought the small version of this table, that I use as a night stand now. I'm so glad the store still had this one. 

The corner next to my living room couch is still empty and I'm looking for a small side table, but I haven't find anything that would fit perfectly.. 

So, I've placed this flower table next to the couch with my new pionies. Probably the last pionies this year.. 

Doesn't it look pretty? 

Have a great weekend!

Shabby chic with lace

A few weeks ago I bought a book about the Shabby Chic home. 

Besides beautiful pictures, they showed some decoration ideas, such as this one. 

Lace glued on a glass jar. How simple, but what a gorgeous result..

Have a great week!
