A little red flower I found right outside my door. It must have blown away from the planters outside my neighbours kitchen window. I put it in a small vintage vase. It makes me smile.

House Flips
In a previous post I wrote about house flipping. I got inspired and did a Google search and discovered many people upload their stories on Youtube!
A few examples, many of them from a Guy named Tom Tarrant. Tom; we share different taste in music, and your videos tend to be a bit long, but keep up the great work as you are doing an amazing job!
Not sure if I like all of them, but they sure are inspiring.
Please share any of your flips with me!

Living large in small spaces
My stylish and fabulous friends at Apartment Therapy (who have yet to meet me and decide to let me do their PR in the Netherlands but will, one day) areon their annual quest for the coolest small homes around the globe. Pretty much an American party but the contest does allow international submissions.
If your house is 1200 square feet or less. You can submit 5 pictures and a floor plan. There are 5 categories: teeny-tiny, tiny, little, small and international. You can bring out your votes too.
1200 square meters is a whopping 111 m2 by the way, which is another great example of the fact that everything is bigger in the US, even small apartments… 111m2 is considered pretty big for an Amsterdam pad. Mineis 140m2 and makes quite a few people green with envy.
Below a few examples of current entries.
Mobius' 295 square feet (27m2) NYC studio
Antony's 300 square feet (28m2) Brooklyn 1 bedroom flat
Rajiv's Bangalore (India) 500 square feet (45m2) 1 bedroom flat
