Let's Get Personal in the Netherlands with Natascha from Flavourites
Let's Get Personal with Natascha Klootsema from Flavourites
D:: Dutch is… Dozens of houseboats in cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht. To take a fresh dive from in summer and to do some iceskating around in winter (if it’s cold enough)
U:: Upstairs ... we’ve got a living room, kitchen and a bright and happy working office – the Flavourites-office. Downstairs (under water level) you’ll find three bedrooms, the bathroom and an extra office.
T:: Today ... the sun was shining in the house which gave me the feeling of the upcoming spring. I can’t wait!
C:: Colourfull ... accessories are important to me, especially in my room where I work everyday. It’s a big contrast with the clothes I usually wear: I’m addicted to black dresses.
H:: Houseboats ... do give a very special feeling. I’ll never move to a normal house! Hearing the geese in the morning, the feeling of freedom… we’re addicted to this houseboat and stunning views.
H:: Handmade ... stuff is something I collect throughout my house. From breakfast plates till postcards and small accessories
O:: On the walls... you’ll find wall stickers throughout the whole house. I love this way of decorating. It’s fast, easy and so stylish.
M:: Marije... is my partner in crime regarding Flavourites. We’re two totally types of persons, but with the same taste for nice and inspiring things you can buy online.
E:: E-commerce ... is such a fascinating world. We really love all these unique and inspiring webshops.

I love the Dutch style, cool whites, modern lines and a bit of whimsy. So pretty. So chill.

Thanks for this! I also live in a houseboat in Amsterdam and I always wonder what other people's setup is is like. I feel the same, once you go houseboat, you never go back. It feels like living in nature right in the middle of the city.

Prachtige ruimte en leuk verhaal! Mooi kleurgebruik en mooie kast (wit) in de slaapkamer. De kinderkamer is lekker speels en vrolijk. Al met al een prachtige woning!

My boyfriend lives in Amsterdam and everytime I visit, I tell him how much I would love to live on a houseboat. There are so many amazing ones!!!
Great to see one up close and personal!

I can imagine it must be wonderful to live on a houseboat! The wiew, the sound of the water and to take a swim outside your house. And the dutch style (as I see it around the blog world)is so fun, so often with quirky things in it. And I like quirky! It's in Natasha's home to, like the lamp with doll heads :-)
Now I'm off to Flavourites to check it out!
