'Here' I want to live when I grow up... Naturelle magazine

Costabrava

Already in July I was planning on writing about a new Dutch online free magazine... 'Naturelle' founded by Annemique de Kroon. But moving house and being too much behind with work caused me to wait until now and to be honest  it probably is a good thing, because seeing issue number 2 this morning made me so happy and even more convinced that when we are ready to move away from Asia I want to live here... and here is in the Northern part of Spain, the Costa Brava or Catalunya. Beautifully captured by Annemique in her free online magazine Naturelle

Naturelle2

Funny thing is my parents are in LLagostera at the moment and when I spoke to my father on the phone yesterday he told me how he still believes that this part of Spain is still as beautiful as when we came there the first time when I was only 3 years old.

Nice home in Amsterdam captured by Vorstin

101_irene

A bit of relaxing this morning together with an old issue of the 101-woonideeen , can't tell you how happy I am to receive these copies!! And how nice to see Marjon, my dear photographer friend with one of her shoots in this issue. She had already told me about this house and the according to her super friendly, nice and inspiring people that live there.

Photographers couple Liesbeth Abbenes and Maurice Scheltens lives here with their two kids. The couple choose a former cigarette shop in the Northern part of Amsterdam and decided to transform it into a beautiful home.

I enjoy seeing this typical Dutch street, brings back nice memories...

Do you remember me telling you about my favorite couches last week, well the images below only confirm my feel about the Tufty by Particia Urquiola.. it simply looks great in this home.

Anthology Magazine

b>tags | ..magazines

Anthology_1

Some of you already heard that a little while ago I had the chance to meet the wonderful Anh-Minh Le, Editor in Chief from Anthology magazine, while she was in Singapore. And it was an absolute pleasure for me, not only to meet her, but also to hear a bit about the creative/blog scene in the San Francisco area.

Anthologymagazine1

Together with Meg Mateo Ilasco, Anh-Minh has created already the third issue of Anthology magazine. And ever since I have had all three issues in my hands I can't wait to see issue 4. It is almost an under-estimation to talk about a magazine... to me it feels more like a beautiful printed lookbook that comes with very well written interviews, fun party ideas, decorating tips and a lot of beautiful happiness!

Interview: Sweet Paul

Sweetpaul

Who is the man behind this great online magazine... I was curious and asked him a couple of questions...

Dear Sweet Paul what was the main reason of starting an online magazine? 

I wanted to have an outlet for my creativity and where I could so whatever I want to do. No one but me decides what goes into the magazine. Its a really good feeling knowing that this is a product of me and what I'm all about. 

*What is your favorite part in this issue? 

I have many, the summer salads was really fun to shoot, on shot on a lightbox. And the soda Jerk story was fun as well. I like to challenge myself with ideas. Like working on the natural dye story, I had to teach myself how to actually do it.

Bloesem Interview in the 101 Woonideeen

101  101_1

A new look for Dutch magazine 101 Woonideeen and I'm lucky enough to be part of this issue in a new jacket and style. Just before Christmas I was invited by the lovely Anne-Marie for an interview... couldn't have been a more hectic perdio to be honest and having a photo-shoot in my house with Christmas decorations already up didn't make my life easier either, but due to the help of my good friend An van Daele we managed to get some nice pics of my home. I especially loved having the actual interview with Floor Roelvink... the questions she asked really made me think about how my blog has grown in something worth mentioning in a super great magazine like the 101 Woonideeen

You can get a better impression right here on their blog and for all you Dutch readers please do buy the copy... you won't regret it... so many more nice interviews and  very beautiful homes!
