Not sure what the weather is doing where you all are, but here it is HOT! We are experiencing temperatures we haven’t experienced in a long time. It makes me want to take a swim! So for all of you in hot weather; here some images to help you cool off. The best infinity pools I could find online.

Last week I placed a bid on a zebra print rug on Marktplaats, the Dutch equivalent of eBay. In fact; eBay owns Marktplaats. I bought heaps of stuff from there already and always advice clients to check the many many ads for great finds and pieces.
The seller of the rug only had a slightly odd picture up, but after he accepted my 30 euro bid I decided to go for it. I now obviously hope it’s the gorgeous classy rug I envision. A few images to get your creative juices flowing.
I love how the rug brings the whole room together in this picture.
In this picture the zebra print proves to be a great alternative for a kelim, almost bringing an African flair to a classic room.
Here the graphic pattern of the zebra stripes accentuates the timeless design pieces in this room.
I absolutely love the vintage and bohemian feel of this room. In this case the (fake!) zebras rug is shaped like the hide would be. That’s a great sofa too. Oh, and that chair…. wow… great room!
Check out my zebra moodboard on Pinterest.
Oh, and if you want to go crafty on your home, here’s a wonderfully simple trick to create your own zebra print rug!

Pied-de-poule (chicken’s foot) or houndstooth in English is a duotone textile pattern characterized by broken checks or abstract four-pointed shapes, often in black and white, although other colours are used.

I know, I know, I am hopelessly late as this trend has been going on since forever, but I still love this graphic pattern in the home.

Wow, that was a trip. Winter just didn’t seem to know when to quit right? But voila, spring is here. Trees and plants are slowly beginning to bloom, birds dare to sing without fear of freezing their vocal cords, and the sun rears up it’s pretty golden head! Time to go outside, open those doors and let the air in!
I feel it, and can’t wait for Friday April 19th when FINALLY after 5 years of bureaucratic struggles, we’ll have a balcony too! I am already researching magazines and garden books for the best plants, the most comfortable cushions and outside candles. I can’t wait to add that bit of outside space to our home. Here are some of the best balconies, patio’s and urban gardens I stumbled upon.
