Beautiful house

It's on Ile de Ré of course.. one of my favorite places to visit in France.
I would move in tomorrow - would you?!

Some of you have asked questions about my shoulder.
Unfortunataly, it isn't better.. It's worse.. so I don't know what to do.. :(
but I have to keep away from the computer.


Hope you like this house! 
Have a nice day!

Need inspiration?

Yesterday I discovered Manolo Yllera's site and it's simply stunning.
Have a look at more of his work HERE.  




You've got to love this tap.

Don't forget the new issue of EST magazine is out!
Click HERE to view it.

Have a nice start to the new week. 
We had a good time last night. Food was lovely. 
I even managed fine with my new diet.. Didn't eat anything wrong. :)
It wasn't possible to have dessert as it contained sugar, dairy and flour.. , 
but I didn't need it anyway.

Todays finds..

Some lovely old plates, 2 cups, loads of old 1980s interior deco magazines (you'd be surprised how little has changed.. ) and a really nice handmade ceramic bowl for soup I think.. 









Have a nice evening! We're going out to eat just the two of us! 
Can't remember the last time we did that. Looking forward to it.

Happy Sunday!






Here we're late up.. and now going to a bric-à-brac.. 
Have a nice Sunday!!

Pink n'girly..

which I'm not at all.. :) Are you?!





Thank you so much to all of you for leaving messages! I read them all. 
So sorry for not being able to look at other blogs just now.. 
My shoulder still won't allow me to sit infront of the computer for a long time.  
Thank you so much to Mariela and Laura for giving me a Versatile blogger award. 
You're both sweet!
I'm so glad I started blogging! I worried about it for a quite a while before I went for it.. 

Have a lovely evening all!

Thank you

all so much for your support! It means a lot to me! 

Not sure what I like the most here.. 
I think it might be the floor and wall in the next room, 
but the curtains, chest of drawer and the chairs aren't bad either.. :)
This is a tiny hint for my next challenge.. 
I'll put it out at the end of August as there are so many (lucky) people on holiday just now.

Have a nice & sweet Friday...

So pretty

Check out this post by Decouvrir Design! LIKE IT A LOT!


By the way my diet is going totally fine. Dare I say this... hm.. I'm not missing anything! :)
Not even bothered about cutting up bread for my boys or the fact that we've got SMARTIES in the cupboard (ok maybe a little bit, but I haven't even gone near them!)
I can already after 13 days feel a difference.. This might sound very strange as I'm mostly writing about interior design and DIY, but I'm going to tell you anyway as some people wanted to know more about it. I've had cold feet for I don't know how many years, but since starting my new diet my feet are boiling! Really hoping that this can help me with my diagnosed fibromyalgia too. Imagine if it was all wrong and that I have a gluten allergy or something.. WOW! I've had backpain for the last 20 years (that makes me sound very old.. ) but it's true it started when I was 16.. (yes that makes me 36 and I'm not at all bothered about it!). So for me this is all very interesting and a bit scary and exciting at the same time.. sorry being very personal here, but I just have to share.. to be continued.. 

Hope you didn't get too bored reading.. 
Have a nice evening!
We're doing something exciting tomorrow..

DIY painting

I saw this cool DIY cross stitch painting this morning on Inrednings designer and I just had to share it with you. The idea comes from freelance designer, illustrator and creative blogger Eline Pellinkhof. Have a look at more DIY projects on her blog.



Fancy having a go?! Think I might try one day, but perhaps not straight on the wall..

Here are some of my favourites.










What do you think?! Love them?! They would definately make a nice statement to a room.
