Watercolour

We really love the watercolour by Gerrit Neven we bought recently.

But oh boy it can be hard to photograph a framed aquarel

without some kind of reflections in the glass (sigh)

the wooden tower is a work from artist Faan Olgers

Sunday

We'll go for another walk
We started working in our garden...

Enjoy your Sunday!

Sunday Night

Transformation

project XVII

In case you're wondering why I haven't been posting anything........ 

I have been painting my socks off!

Yesterday we moved the cabinet to the living.... finally!

It should transform this cluttered corner in my working space....

Then I discovered the shelves aren't as white as the cabinet itself...

Still not done yet (sigh)

I just know it will keep bothering me so I'll have to paint some more.

Can't wait to place my books! Grrrrr

Mirroring

Painting

We're over the moon with our latest buy, a painting from artist Mariës Hendriks.

We loved her work at Without a shadow of a doubt exhibition in 2014.

I think the painting blends in very well. The other art work, Words 4
from To B Here exhibition 2013, is from Mariës's husband Gerard Koek.

Growing

Our Lunulata is growing and annexing space :)

Check out our indoor tree fern one year ago here and here.

Blue Room

More than 20 years I love the work of Theo Spaaij.
It was difficult choosing only one painting... but we have chosen Blue Room.

And now we can enjoy this dancing woman above our piano :)

Ferntastic

We've been repotting the new tree ferns and I already had some Ikea PS Fejö pots.

Time will tell if these plants are Nim proof :)

The current light makes it difficult to make some good pics but I'll make it up to you.

Birch

About 6 months ago I got this idea of some slender floor to ceiling birch trunks in our living.

One of my facebook friends answered my call. He would be able to help us.

Now the trunks are drying outside waiting to be fitted in our house.

I think Nim will love these trunks :)

Too bad only one of them has the floor to ceiling length we will be needing for the living.

But the other two can still be (partly winded with rope) functional.

Nim's scratching posts :))

Zaishu

Our new piece of furniture, a Zaishu designed by Matthew Butler
with artwork in collaboration with Kirsten Johnstone. We love it!

Artifact

Last monday we bought a new artifact for our livingroom.

Things like these balance the new and sleek design in our home :-)

I think the mix of all sorts of things creates your personal interior.

This artifact is a so called 'threshing-sledge' (in Dutch 'dorsslede') and it was used to thresh the grain.

The wholes in the wood are filled with lots of firestones. Flint was used for the manufacture of flint tools during the Stone Age as it splits into thin, sharp spinters called flakes or blades.
This sledge was pulled by an ox or mule while someone sat on top of it.

Now our hunt for the missing stones starts ;-)
