Come and see this beautiful home .. again :) ... here on Bloesem. Hellen van Berkel who lives here already shared her amazing place with us a couple of years ago, but this time my friend Marjon Hoogervorst made the pictures, not only of her home but also of her new collection gorgeous silk scarves ... I really like what Marjon did to the images scarves ... letting them flow and bringing them to live ... [READ and SEE MORE after the break]
Hellen van Berkel is a textile designer living in the Netherlands. The images you see here are part of a whole series featured in the October issue of Dutch magazine VTWonen. Her place is amazing and I totally understand why VTWonen liked to feature her.
What I really like in Hellen her home are the colors. She has a talent for combining different colors, perfect tones. When I see the floor in the kitchen below I would never have thought about choosing these tcolored tiles, but the look superb! Making this kitchen special and I believe easy to maintain.
Perhaps best to send VTWonen an email if you would like to see the issue.

La Casita de Wendy is back in the spotlight with their
Winter Collection “montañas” Reminds us a little of a winter fairytale .... this collection does have a magical feel
to it. We love the bold colors and the retro feel. La casita de wendy are a genius in making beautiful patterns, the ones on the scarves and posters are by far our favorite :)
We at Bloesem also love ‘The Crafters Project’
section. On their blog you’ll be able to check out new unique items designed
for La Casita de Wendy.
Take time looking through their website they do have a lot
to look at from accessories, kids stuff and even housewares. That’s where you
will find all the pillows. ~ sponsor spotlight

It's that time of the year again here at Bloesem ... we are offcially starting the
Holiday Season ... meaning lot's and lot's of gift ideas will be coming your way. Perhaps you remember last years
Gift Guide with the beautiful banner designed especially for Bloesem by
Jessica Nielsen well this year we are doing it a bit differently ...
Jessica created two wrapping papers for you to
download for free ...
Snowmans and Presents .... which one do you like best or are you going to use them both too? Perhaps a nice idea: download the templates to your desktop and your local copy shop to print it in A3 size.
Tomorrow we will also start sharing with you a 'Gift of the Day' every weekday... this can be something for your home, an accessory, a gadget or else ... all the way up to Christmas. So many nice gift ideas choosen by us will be popping up on the Bloesem blogs.
Launching this week, Famille Summerbelle’s new wallpaper and accessory collection: Manhattan.
Never to disappoint, we love the new detailed illustrations of people
and the skyline of a ‘Morning in Manhattan'. If you look closely you can even spot a pretzel stand. The new wallpapers are perfect for any room in a house where kids live. Ochre yellow happens to be the new color for us here on Bloesem so we are having our eyes set on one of these rolls. More pictures below the fold and click here for Famille Summerbelle's website.
