Weekend in Style

                                                              

Dear readers,
                    In Belgium, tomorrow almost everyone has a day off and some of us even take a short holiday until Monday, and since there's no good weather predicted, this should be the ideal opportunity to maybe visit the wonderful exposition of Antoine Watteau at Bozar in Brussels. It is really worthwhile! By the way: this weekend is the last chance to visit because Sunday is the last day of this exposition..Most of Watteau's work embraced the musical and theatrical scenes.

Coming back home, I like to take the time to prepare a nice dinner  in my kitchen. Nothing better to enjoy a meal at a nice table....To complete the ambiance, a bit of classical music is of great importance !  (tip: the CD sold at 'Antoine Watteau-lesson in music' is super !)

Hope you all enjoy your (extended) weekend !

Autumn...new look

Dear readers,

I've got some worrying mails from readers who thought I would give up blogging....I know: I don't post a lot, but you have to give me some credit because I run a business as well as a family...
Meanwhile I also like to cook and enjoy to spend some quality time with my family ....so would you forgive me please ? But do not worry, your patience is rewarded....: here I am with some new pictures !

One other important reason was also that we changed our private rooms/showroom on the second floor as well, which also took a lot of time too.... everything has been repainted and provided with new curtains to create a more spacious and airy feeling. Before the color range was more in the aubergine tones which was also very nice, but now we chose slightly muted, softer colors. We also decided to create a snuggle corner in front of our fire place to where, as you can see, we moved the dutch cabinet. It is now a place to sit, read and enjoy a good glass of wine when the evenings get colder...

Hope you enjoy !

Dear readers,

It has been a while since last time.....I do like to share with you some pictures of the showroom as we rearranged some furniture and decorations last week. Some of them are new pieces as you will see. For this season we opted for a range of nice pale green and linen tones...

Hope you enjoy the inspiration...
