<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">I'm back! With new work, in VT Wonen: love, live and shop, a co-production with Maaike Koorman.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">Normally Maaike does these productions on her own, but she asked me whether I wanted to do one series with her. Of course! I did the styling, together we did the conceptual design, and Maaike made the background.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">Here's what I did</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">I used two different sized bell jars that I bought at <a href="http://www.klevering.nl/" target="_blank">&Klevering</a>, I painted the base white with a wet brush so the effect is a still bit rough/relaxed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">For the first image I used a vase and a necklace that I borrowed from <a href="http://www.annliz.com/" target="_blank">Annliz</a>, a shell that I found on the beach in Brittany, a wooden heart (bought at Nunc), painted white, and a heart that I cut from cork, also painted white. Next to the jar is a letter that my mother wrote to me when I first moved to Amsterdam.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">For the second image I created some sort of cliff, of a cardboard box and little books that I found in an antiques shop, on top of which is perched a little wooden house (which is actually a pencil sharpner) and a wooden sheep and goose, bought at a old fashioned toy shop. Next to it wooden dominoes that I found in a thrift shop.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">For the last image I made a little bag from pearl colored fake leather. This I balanced on little packages, gifts and surprises wrapped in paper. Next to it a hatpin, that I borrowed from a beautiful shop in Gieterveen, <a href="http://www.antiekvanvroege.nl/" target="_blank">Voegertijd</a>, that we also were taking pictures of for another magazine. In the back an old piece of crystal and a thimble, which I also found in a thrift shop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">I'm very happy with the result, and also very happy to be back!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-size: small;">I will show some more new work that I did in 2012, mostly together with Maaike.</span><br />

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">One of the things that I've recently finished is the conceptual design of an office for an Amsterdam based PR company, <a href="http://www.hetprbureau.nl/">Het PR Bureau</a>. They were moving from three smaller offices, scattered around the centre of Amsterdam, to one big space. They were looking for an interior that expressed their core values, an interior that was light, welcoming and warm. And office that people would love to work in. Because most of the staff isn't working at the office all day, they also wanted to motivate flexible working, so less fixed desks and more different types of working spaces. Suitable to work alone in, but also enable working in groups.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">The fashion and life style brands that Het PR Bureau represents, needed a good, well lit, showroom, so stylist would easily find the way to the items. Het PR Bureau wanted to make a connection with this more visible part of their work and the work that is a bit less visible, like </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">writing, creating and all the work 'in the field'.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">Another wish was to give space to their other company, PR Stunt, and brining those two offices together. PR Stunt works with a smaller group, and works on lively events and experience types of assignments. This lively, active feel should be expressed in the interior as well.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">The big area is is surrounded by a few smaller offices, and a kitchen, and one smaller office is on the front of the street.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">The core values and their wishes inspired me to the words garden office. The old meaning of these words are the opposite of a space you would want to work in. But if you translate it literally, you bring the outside in, the garden in your office, where you can breathe and be creative, let ideas grow, and be inspired.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">The big space in the middle, the heart, was connected to one of the rooms in front, the room next to it was more separate. To connect all these spaces a wall was knocked out, a door was removed, and I designed a 22 metres long table to connect the front room to the middle room. This table would be suitable for working alone on, but also to work in groups on, to use as display and even as a catwalk.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: 85%;">In the next post I will show you the images of the result. The conceptual design is made by me, DreamBoat. Architect Jasper Westebring made the technical drawings and was there for technical (and moral) support, Maaike Koorman made the visualisations, and did the presentation together with me (next to supllying moral support). <a href="http://www.behance.net/orpheojungst">Orpheo Jungst</a> did the production of the interior, so he did the styling and the actual buying of all the interior, the translation from concept to reality.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A few weeks ago, I was working on a styling/photography assignment with Maaike Koorman for a <a href="http://www.dakdokters.nl/content/amsteldijk">roof garden</a> in Amsterdam, built by the Dakdokters. It was agreed upon that I could borrow furniture and accessories at a shop in Laren, <a href="http://www.kerkhoflaren.nl/">Kerkhof</a>, and a shop in Baarn, <a href="http://www.nijhofbaarn.nl/">Nijhof</a>. The drive through Laren reminded me of a beautiful, insprired, and inspiring shop that I used to visit a lot when I was a stylist for an interior magazine, back in the olden days. I was curious to know if it still is as nice now as it was then, 10 years ago. It was, and it was even better that I remembered. This is a style that I love, and that I hope to be able to one day put in a house, for myself or for a customer. I love the balance between modern and authentic, rough and sleek. The image next to the green chair is made by <a href="http://www.mirjambleeker.nl/diary/index.html">Mirjam Bleeker</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The shop is called Meker Atelier and the addres is: Mauvezand 2, in Laren (NH).</span></div>

<br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To let in the light that comes in through the front door, I replaced a closed wooden door for a glass door with a steel, powder coated frame. The railings around the stairs were replaced with cabinets on each side, with a powder coated railing, to make it more slim and elegant.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To keep look of the floor, that was originally concrete, a layer of colored and lacquered cement coating was put on, after the floor heating system was put in. The extra heater is an old design, and gives a bold statement to the living room.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In the kitchen (which was not finished yet when I took the images) one wall is covered with a lot of cabinets, in different shapes, sizes and depths, but all painted in the same color. It hides the oven, it sort of embraces the window, it plays with the light and it creates a lot of storage space. The pink cabinet, around the corner, in the space between the living room and the kitchen, is where the freezer has found its space, and has room for storing cleaning stuff and supplies.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">To create more light downstairs we knocked down an wall to create a studio where a separate bedroom was, and we created a room in the bathroom so the light from the master bedroom would also reach the bathroom.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The color scheme is mostly tender hues like soft pink, a lot of different greys and beige, with a few bold colors like the pink of the freezer cabinet, the mustard yellow in the studio and the petrol colored wall in the guest room.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Next step is the curtains and the garden.</span></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">...a house in Ede, in the east part of Holland. The beautiful house, kind of a house boat on land, has a ground floor with open spaced living room and kitchen, and a floor below sea level with two bedrooms, a studio, a bathroom and storage rooms.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I had the honour to decorate the house, from scratch. That meant deciding on the floor, the kitchen, toilets, sinks, made-to-measure furniture, bathroom, colors, the works. A big job, and a very exciting one.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For a job this big, I take a lot of time with the customer to decide on the style, and the floor plans. I translate the choice we make in mood boards. With these as a hand book I start sketching, that means technical drawings (with help from architect friend Jasper Westebring, of course). With a few options I go back to the customer, and together we decide on a master plan.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I will show you my mood boards first, after that I will show you some images of the result, before all the furniture was moved in. It takes a lot of time to settle in, always, and I can't wait any longer to show you the results.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sometimes people send me comments on and questions about things that I write on my blog. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out yet how to answer those questions directly. So from now on, I will answer them through my blog. Maybe other people will be inspired as well!</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One question I was asked was about the tiles in my kitchen. Our kitchen was featured in Nya Rum, images by Paul Barbera (haven't seen it myself yet), and someone wanted to know where to find them. They were bought at a Dutch tile manufacturer, <a href="http://www.mosa.nl/nl/collectie/zoeken-in-collectie.aspx">Mosa</a>. These specific tiles were designed by <a href="http://www.architonic.com/pmsht/kho-liang-ie-collection-16906-10x10-mosa-bv/1061840">Koh Liang Ie</a>, originally in the sixties. My parents also had them, in the toilets, and only the ones with the <a href="http://www.mosa.nl/nl/collectie/mosaTegel.aspx?id=938&tegel=194">four circles</a>. A few years ago they were brought back to life. They are only available in white, unless you order a lot, like a <a href="http://www.concreteamsterdam.nl/#">Concrete</a> did when the designed the beautiful interior for <a href="http://www.envy.nl/nl/fotos">restaurant Envy</a> in Amsterdam.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I took a little trip down memory lane, when I was showing some pictures of our trip to Argentina a few months ago. And I realized that I didn't show half of the better things that I discovered in Buenos Airs. Like this amazing shop in Palermo, <a href="http://www.amorestrashcouture.com.ar/">Amores Trash Couture</a>. A curious name, and the fact that you have to ring a bell, next to a big white, iron gate, only adds to the curiosity. Once inside, you enter a kind of dreamworld shop where, if it was in a dream, Abba, Andy Warhol, Jacky and Joan Collins, Debby Harris and Madonna would come and shop (or party). The clothes are eccentric and the accessories: I wanted to have them all. But especially the interior was something that will stay in my memory for ever. It's not about fashion, it's about style.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I still owe you my last reports from the best of Buenos Aires, including a visit to a beautiful poloclub with a hotel. But in the mean time we have returned to our beloved Amsterdam. And I'm already working on some exciting new projects. I have been asked to decorate a new house, from scratch, and I'm very happy with this new project. While I was going through some magazines for inspiration, in <a href="http://www.marieclairemaison.com/">Marie Claire Maison </a>I stumbled upon an extremely talented, inspiring group of designers/architects in France: <a href="http://www.cigue.net/">Ciguë</a>. They do big projects, like renovating old barns and designing new houses, in breathtaking countrysides. But also smaller houses for which they invent very clever, and cheap solutions. I wish I was them!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">At the moment, for a few more days, we’re living in a part of Buenos Aires, Palermo Hollywood, that’s famous for its restaurants. You only have to turn a corner, or walk a few steps down the street to have your pick of all the flavours of the world. And lucky us to live quite near <a href="http://www.lamaisonba.com/">La Maison</a>, our favourite restaurant for a cosy night out, with the two of us or with friends. La Maison is run by Fleur, she’s French (or Canadian, I’m not sure), and she and her staff make sure you have a pleasant night.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">You can sit outside in the garden, and enjoy the funny drawings on the shutters, or inside where it’s more quiet and formal. Lovely, elegant food like toast with poached egg yolk and truffle, tarte tatin with goat cheese, and gambas au Pastis. Maybe I should go back one more time and make sure that this time I have room for dessert.</span></div>

And at the moment it's Voltaire, around the corner from where we live, at Carranza y Voltaire. The two friendly owners make the perfect coffee, have the best little chocolate cakes and don't mind if our lively twin girls open all the bags of sugar. That's what I call home!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Now that we’re almost leaving Argentina, we are very busy finishing our to-do-list. One of the items on it was visiting Colonia del Sacramento, in Uruguay. It is across the river from Buenos Aires, it only takes about an hour by boat, so an easy journey to a lovely, old, romantic little town. Like our first experience with Uruguay, we were enchanted by the sweetness of the people, the respect for nature and culture and the easy pace. And the view on the river, from both sides of the old town, is stunning, especially at sunset.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We had a lucky shot with our hotel, Colonia Suite, which we picked from <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g298066-d1641409-Reviews-Colonia_Suite-Colonia_del_Sacramento.html">TripAdvisor</a>, and it was the perfect choice. Colonia Suite is a bed-and-breakfast with three rooms in a lovely house, where we had the big garden room, with our own balcony with stairs to the beautiful garden. The owner, Fred, was the sweetest man, who made us feel really welcome, and prepared a big breakfast for us every morning. He also arranged a wonderful dinner in Energais, a private restaurant in town, where we had drinks before dinner in the garden under the stars, between giant cactuses (which we incidentally had been admiring during the day) and a view on the river and Buenos Aires.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">When I was planning my trip to Buenos Aires, a lot of people warned me that you really have to be a passionate meat lover because everybody was supposed to be eating meat night and day. Not true! Maybe as a reaction to all the meat, there are a lot of restaurants that excel in vegetarian and/or organic food. So you can choose wether you want to eat meat or be a vegetarian, even for a day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">One of my favourites is <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g312741-d1028783-Reviews-El_arevalito-Buenos_Aires_Capital_Federal_District.html">El Arevalito</a>. The owner of the restaurant used to live in Amsterdam in the early seventies, where she ran a restaurant in a squat, called Kosmos. </span>She’s a respectable lady now, but she has a free spirit, and her little restaurant breathes her energy and colorfulness. Plus, she and her team of cooks make the loveliest dishes. The menu changes twice a day, for lunch and dinner, so you can be absolutely certain that everything is fresh. A pick: stir fried organic rice with vegetables, toast with caramelized sweet onion with a fried egg and cheese on top, fresh salad with wafer thin sliced radishes, avocado and cucumber, spinach pie. And that was only for lunch.</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">One thing that I'm really going to miss is the beautiful park in Palermo, also known as <a href="http://travel.yahoo.com/p-travelguide-2756954-bosques_de_palermo_buenos_aires-i">Bosque de Palermo</a>. A beautifully landscaped big park, with a enormous rose garden that seems to be in bloom always. Especially Saturdays afternoons are good, when everybody is there to have a good time, skate, ride a bike or a horse cart, or just to sit and see the sun setting and the leaves turning. A bit like Central Park.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I can't believe that we're almost leaving Buenos Aires, to go back to our beloved Amsterdam. (absence makes the heart grow fonder) And I still have so much to tell! I'll try to keep it short, here's one of the little pearls in BA, the cemetery of Recoleta, where the rich families of the past and the present are put to rest, so to say. Beautiful, touching and even romantic.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Every six months Maaike Koorman and I develop six color forecasts for <a href="http://www.kleurinspiratie.nl/">Kleurinspiratie</a>, a website made by Sanoma. Sanoma publishes some of the best read interior magazines in the Netherlands, like <a href="http://www.vtwonen.nl/">VT Wonen</a>, <a href="http://www.101woonideeen.nl/">101 Woonideeën</a>, <a href="http://www.eh-i.nl/">Eigen Huis & Interieur</a> and <a href="http://www.ariadneathome.nl/">Ariadne At Home</a>.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">On the website you can find ideas and tips for paint and painting, you can upload an image of your own house to see if a color would work for you, and you can get new inspiration for colors and see how new combinations of colors can create a totally different mood. On Kleurinspiratie you can read how it works. It's in Dutch, but if you're interested in a translation in English, send me a message.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">For the summer we made these six forecasts: Berlin Blues, Ceylon City, Pink Cyclamen, Oriental Industries, Cupcake City and Dusty Boulevard. I'm really happy with these new moods. I hope someday soon people in the Netherlands will overcome their fear to use color, because I can see where I am at the moment, Buenos Aires, that it works just great. More of that later...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And it's also good to see that you can still work together even if you are both on a different part of the world, thanks to Skype.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Buenos Aires has a lot of creative people running around, working a lot, and making a whole bunch of beautiful stuff. I love the way they present themselves to the world. Either they open up their own shop, or they join hands and show their wares together. So you can find a lot of unique pieces and unique shops here. Catalogue does more, it not only provides a space for Argentinas best individual designers, it also shows their best pieces in an inspiring fashion magazine. I couldn't find a website, but you can find the shop, where they also sell the magazine, at Honduras, around the corner from Carranza.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm addicted to the scent of lavender, so I'm unconsciously always drawn into shops that sell lavender soap, lavender bath salts, lavender satchels, dried lavender, what ever from the lavender is presented in. Like <a href="http://www.epocabella.com.ar/">Epoca Bella</a>, in the street that I live in now. They sell all sorts of scented things, all in beautifully wrapped and presented. Next to a big bottle of lavender bath salts, I also found some other nice, handmade gifts (that I can't show now, without spoiling the suprise). And some inspiration, like the built in cabinet made from old wood, and a lovely old display made of wood and glass. If I ever open up my own shop, I would like one of those. Plus the old fashioned till.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've found a new place that will be given a high number in my list of Favourite Places in the World: <a href="http://www.lapedrera.com.uy/">La Pedrera</a>, in beautiful <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uruguay">Uruguay</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When I was a child, we used to spend almost all our holidays in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOsD5HORYUc&NR=1">La Guimorai</a><a href="http://www.google.com/images?client=safari&rls=en&q=la+guimorais&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&sa=X&ei=le2MTe6SHIvQgAeTtN3FDQ&ved=0CEwQsAQ&biw=1158&bih=595">s</a> in France, and I still dream about that about once a week. And now I've found a place similar to it, on the other side of the world. And, like in my childhood, we've found a place where you can sleep in the dunes, so you can hear the sea in your dreams as well. Only this time no cold water showers and little tents.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In <a href="http://www.pueblobarrancas.com/">Pueblo Barrancas,</a> you can choose for Glamping, beautiful, well furnished big tents or, like we did, big wooden cabins on stilts. Pueblo Barrancas has eco-friendlyness high on their priority list, they make sure the stunning dunes and nature are reserved. I'm all for that, especially if I can sleep 20 meters from the sea, and I'm welcomed by all those wonderful people that work here. We loved the place and the village, and the whole country so much, it needs further investigation!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Well. I’m very proud. Our house, that I designed myself (with some help of SoapAteliers), is on the cover of a Swedisch magazine, </span></span><a href="http://www.tidskriftenrum.se/nya-rum/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Rum</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> (or Nya Rum, can’t figure it out completely)! The images were taken a few years ago by Paul Barbera, and were featured in the Dutch edition of Glamour Magazine. The images have been circling around on the internet quite a lot, and now they’re here in Sweden. Because I’m in Argentina, I can’t go and buy the magazine myself. Luckily I found a Swedisch blog, </span></span><a href="http://finikanten.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Finikanten</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">, that showed some of the pages on her site.
