One of my best friends recently bought this amazing house with all the great details  I love; frech balcony, open kitchen, fireplaces in livingroom and bedroom, an antique bathtub, ceiling ornaments, rooftop garden and stained glass windows. It has it all!

But what I will love most for our next appartment/house will be a entresol or mezzanine. The upper photos I tore out of some magazines a long long time ago and still it is on my top wishlist for things I will love in a our future home. The big photo is from the Selby.

The Chocolate Brown is a collaboration of three artists who call themselves, Tot, Parn and Tippy. They are in fact very influential Thai artists. Love to visit one of their shops when I am in Bangkok mid february!

My hometown Rotterdam has a lot to offer when it comes to art, design, architecture and culture and it’s filled with creative people doing their thing! These are my favourite Rotterdam based designers! Martine Viergever (jewellery), Daisy Kroon (fashion) Carola Zee (ceramics) and Charlotte Wooning (jewellery).

Daisy Kroon recently also did a photoshoot with Sophia van den Hoek, check out Daisy’s website! Remember my dreamy photoshoot for Made by l e n n e b e l l e!

The last few week I was enjoying all the amazing things we did on our 100 days trip through Asia. I always keep my red Moleskine with me for notes, as a diary and for little drawings.  Here one of the pages with the clothes I want to make when I come home at the end of this month.

More photos of our travel at Cloud Cuckoo.

These pretty papercuts are from Peter Callesen. The patience and steady hand you need to make this is just amazing! Much more to see at his site!

Coleen Baran designed this cute jewellery inspired on love. So she created the ‘like wearing a love letter’ serie. It’s like like wearing a daydream, a memory or a thought of love. And they all contain little love stories in different versions. One where you can hide the message in the ring, one like a stamp and one made of the ‘love letter’ itself. Very romantic!

The trans-atlantic travel before exploring Asia this year was South-America with my dear friend Kim discovering Bolivia and Peru. Still when I watch all of our photo’s I am amazed by all the beauty! These are a few of my favourites and there are so much more!
