Let's Get Personal in the Netherlands with Christien from slow wood
The home of Christien Starkenburg from Slow Wood
D:: Dutch is being open, exploring & free..
E:: entrance, when entering my home you will notice the lightblue sofa of Scholten & Baijings mixed with an old grain bags patchwork carpet. You also smell the aromas of rosemary & eucalyptus of the eco paints, the loam, cork and a lot of wood. It smells like home.
S:: style, means being you true self.
I:: interesting places in my city, Jan de Jong Interior extraordinary since 1899, HEMA of course as a Dutchy, florist Gerben Reitsma and Niijnski for the Humanoid basics. Fries Museum & Princessehof Museum.
G:: gardening is something I ruin my nails with and makes my head empty.
N:: new, in my home is a lovely lightgrey kitchensteps about 100 years old ! It was given to me by my neighbours, cleaning up their house.
H:: hobby, I always make time for my children.
O:: outfit, my favorite thing to wear at home is my Kuyichi jeans and a really old Armani silk scarf, it nearly falls apart. For occasions Missoni.
M:: magazines I love to read are Ode, Object, Frame, Elle Decoration, E&I, Mix, Bloom, Wallpaper and Trendtablet.com
E:: enjoy, I can't live without chocolate & my 4 men Henk, Levi, Aron and Isaac
Thank you Christien!
You might recognize the style or even the beautiful tables? Last Thursday I wrote a post about Slow Wood... the new collection by Christien Starkenburg. Her house is truly special and different and it looks so Scandinavian to me. I love how she has de orates the places, everything looks so balanced, clean but very warm and cozy.

Love the house and everything in it! Especially the white dining table! Is it from Slow Wood?
