Let's Get Personal in the Netherlands with Eline Pellinkhof....
The Home of Eline Pellinkhof
D:: Dutch is... lots and lots of bicycles and flower shops, the canals of Amsterdam, the traditional sweet & salt gums called ‘Drop’ and the Dutch stew.
E:: Entrance... when entering my home you will notice my bike standing at the bottom of an awful navy and peach staircase which is in desperate need of a new coat of white paint. At the top of the stairs are my two lovely, curious cats.
S:: Style, means... a combination of all the things that you like and make you happy.
I:: interesting places in my city, Haarlem are… the old city centre with its narrow streets and quaint shops like Sjakies, Juffie’s Warehouse and De Wereld van Jansje, but also the fact that Haarlem is so close to the beach and close to lovely small villages like Spaarndam.
G:: Gardening is something I... love and do a lot. I have a allotment 15 minutes away, with a garden cottage and lots of flowery plants.
N:: New in my home is... a gigantic iMac computer, and some old-fashioned wooden spools.
H:: Hobby... I always make time for...gardening, friends, eating out and traveling. My work involves designing crafts materials like stamps, printed paper and fabric, but unfortunately I seldom have the time to work with them myself.
O:: Outfit... my favorite things to wear are...stylish knitted cardigans and jeans and my two silver rings. You’ll never see me in high heels.
M:: Magazines... I love to read are...VT wonen, 101 Woonideeën, Flow, Uppercase, Marie Claire idées, and online: By Fryd
E:: Enjoy... I can't live without...being my own boss, having my own work space and garden to go to, watching movies
Eline works as a freelance designer and illustrator and she just finished her own book, called: 'Eline's Home' , I believe it is only in Dutch available unfortunately, to see a glimpse of her new book, click here or just treat yourself and order here... in a previous life Eline drew and deisgned prints for children wear and was always looking for the latest trends in the kids fashion industry, but nowadays Eline works on collections for hobby materials, designing stamps and patterned papers... all of it you can find on and via her colorful blog!
I love Eline's designs and am lucky to have a copy of her book which is fantastic!

Great cheerful look, love the painting on the wall that looks like stiching. Very creative look overall. Love the gold chairs with pink seats. Fun...

The cross stitch painted wall is gorgeous it reminds me of the dutch designer Kiki van Eijk. She did these wonderful Kiki Carpets a few years ago - rugs with oversized roses in a cross stitch style.

Thank you Bloesem for sharing Eline with us today!
Thank you Eline for the tour, your home is lovely! You are very talented and I look forward to going over to your blog to learn more about you and your work. I love collecting handmade things as well and for many years loved cross-stitch.
Best wishes to you both for a creative day!

I heard through the grapevines that her book "Eline's Huis" will soon be published in English !!!
Eline will surely keep us all informed on her own blog ;-)

That cross stitching on the wall is wonderful! What a novel idea.

The cross-stitch is an amazing idea - I'd bet that starts showing up in other places. Really unique. Love her fresh, colorful home. Thank you for sharing.

Ik zou ook wel een kopie van dat patroon willen om na te schilderen!
Dus Willy; als je er een hebt gevonden hou ik me aanbevolen :)

Het verbaast me totaal niet dat er zelfs aan de totaal andere kant van de wereld - in het prachtige KL - aandacht is voor Eline. ALLES wat ze bedenkt is een grote HIT maar de Eline Huis Serie is wel de klapper van de laatste tijd en het inspireert mensen tot de meest bijzondere creaties.
Gefeliciteerd Eline en Irene, dankjewel voor deze mooie blog!!!
Lieve groetjes uit zonning maar koud Groningen.

Hoi Eline,
Je bloesemblog is helemal geweldig, hoe krijg je toch iedere keer die
inspiratie heel bijzonder dat je die gave bezit.
Heel jammer vind ik het dat het helemaal in het engels is geschreven.
Misschien kun je daar wat aan doen?
Heel veel suskses met alle werkzaamheden en ik kom graag weer op
je blog kijken.

Ik heb nu al twee keer gekeken en probeer alles in me op te nemen, er is zoveel moois. Mijn dochter is ook al enthousiast over het borduurwerk op de wand en zoiets wil ze op haar nieuwe kamer. Ik ga dus snel op zoek naar een leuk patroon.
Groetjes
