Let's Get Personal in the Netherlands with Jonna Klumpenaar...
My first real post in the new Bloesem....feeling good...and I hope you do too after reading this short interview with Dutch architect Jonna Klumpenaar and seeing images of her beautiful home.
D:: Dutch is... almost a brand.
E:: entrance... when entering my home you will notice…space. When people know that I live in 55m2 together with my boyfriend, they expect a fully packed apartment. Before we went to live here we threw a lot of unnecessary things away. It's advisable, it clears your sky.
S:: style means... a natural status, you can’t copy it.
I:: inspiration comes from...colors, shapes, people around me. You only have to take your time to see it.
G:: green is the color for...the enormous bamboo explosion in my neighbours garden. I love it!
N:: new in my home is… the hand-made yellow wardrobe in our bedroom. Every morning it seems that the sun shines, even when it's (typical Dutch) raining.
H:: hobby, I always make time for…a cold glass of milk.
O:: outfit, my favorite thing to wear is.. my light bleu dress, but it already pills, I wear it too much. Maybe it is time to idealize another.
M:: make, I start creating when…taking a shower. Stupid, but it’s true.
E:: enjoy, I can't live without…my radio. I got it from my parents when I graduated and it is always with me since.
All images are from the beautiful home of Jonna Klumpenaar. An architect from the Netherlands, who started her own design studio in 2008. I like everything about her place, but the colors are a huge inspiration for me...you like it too?
looks beautiful,Beautiful.
