Today I ♥ a holiday home in the UK

This renovated barn was on the cover of Elle deco Italy last month and the white painted brick walls attracted my attention. It's great inspiration for a project were I'm working on right now.
When you take a closer look you see one wall is covered with white wash wood what adds warmth to do hard materials of the base. The combination of the clean and light base work well with the scandinavian furniture. I love the black large steel window frames, that's one my wishlist for me dreamhouse....

Today I ♥ a room in Saint-Tropez

French designer Christophe Pillet created the interiors of the Hotel Sezz in Saint-Tropez in France.
The combination in this design of dark wood, a lot of white, a touch of bright color and the round walls form an exciting design and a real inspiration!

Inspirational craft by Claudy Jongstra

Busy times lately, that's why I have been I bit silent....  I also went to London with my colleagues to visit inspirational food concepts, I will post about this trip later.
I wanted to post somthing about Claudy Jongstra for a long time because I love her felt work for years. Last year I went to a lecture where she told about how they work at the studio. It was really inspiring what she told about the dyeing process with the natural pigments that she grows mostly on her own farm.
The blue work is for the exhibition at the United Nations in New York that was held in february.

this interior by Abigail Ahern

Danish home of art lovers

I think these home owners have an excellent taste of art! Love the painting above the sofa, it is a piece made by Anne Tholstrup. It's really worth it to see more of her work.

The king's speech

In Living etc. magazine I red about this wall of Dr. Logue's office and how Eve Stewart (and probably her team), the production designer of "The king's speech" created this wall. It was an endless process of layering paint, lacquer and old bits of paper. The wall is a piece of art, so beautiful, like the movie itself. The Picture below, done by stylist, Glen Proebstel made me think of the wall, a great inspiration as well.

Home of VT Wonen stylist Cleo Scheulderman

VT Wonen Stylist Cleo has a great style and you can see that in her own apartment. I think it's a pity Elle Decoration printed this article in grey, because I'm curious what the color palette looks like. Guess what? I found the Pictures in color at House of pictures, see below much much better :-) The beautiful palette of neutrals and lots of grey.

Article was printed in Elle Decoration UK edition in May 2010

Today I ♥ Hotel Forsthaus

The thing what I liked immediately about this design of hotel Forsthaus is the use of trees inside, what I did myself recently in an meeting room. The brief for this hotel called "for a fixed, quit low, budget and the most interesting design possible without being stylish" tells architect Martin Naumann in FRAME magazine. It looks quit simple but the details make it special and funny to me. For example the ton sur ton dears on the walls, the recess in the ceiling for build in lightning and were a sleigh is coming out or the vertical part of the lowered ceiling that is painted grey what gives the pace more depth.
