On this grey day

I am quite glad that the weather "forced" me to stay inside today, and that I can't work in the garden (even though it is necessary). So today I decided that it is the bedroom that needs a facelift. I like to display my things, so this is how I do it.... (perhaps I should colour coordinate my "jewelry"?) 

The bathroom pegs are from Ikea.

 I bought myself two new pairs of sandals the other day, and now the problem is storage... So I think I need to "switch" around in my shoehelves (which comes from Ikea and which I just love). I would like to have one more of this wardrobe, but unfortunately there is no more space.

 When it comes to our bed, I really think I should do something more creative,  but what I don't now yet. Need to seriously think about that.... and perhaps I will post the transformation (if there will be one...)

I just have to blog a bit about this talented, norwegian stylist/cookbook author Paul Løwe. I have followed him for a while, I love how he styles tables, gardens and homes, and he gives me many new ideas. He moved from Norway to NY some time ago and I regularly read his blog. He is now out with his first magazine, which I have read, and I really would like to make everything in it! I guess he will inspire many more than just me.... check it out here

Before and after

At this grey and rainy day, what's better than to light up the candles and have a cup of coffee? I received this nice decoration (it was nicer in the beginning) from one of my friends, when the flowers where gone I planted the flower bulbs in my garden and changed the soil with a glass vase and a candle..... it turned out quite nice I think...

WOW...

.... what a great evening, what a great show, what a great woman!!. Had a mother/daughter evening at Rockhal together with "half" of Luxembourg and Rihanna! A night we will not forget for a long time....

Chateau d'Urspelt

Had the pleasure to spend part of my weekend (and with my husband) at this lovely place. Chateau d'Urspelt is situated in the country side north in Luxembourg, close to Clervaux. From being a ruin in 2008 it is now a highly classy hotel. Are you a interior interested person (like me) I'm sure you will feel comfortable among crystal chandeliers, and comfy chairs. The food was also excellent and so was the staff. A perfect hideaway for the weekend, highly recommended!

Belgium

My son is finally home again after a 4 day-long school trip to Belgium. They had a wonderful stay at the seaside at Blankenberge, but also an excursion to the pittoresque town of Brugge. I was asked to go on the same trip last year, which of course I couldn't say no to, and had some sunny and nice days with the students. Blankenberge is a small seaside village, with a few historical buildings, a marina, and the most eye catching pier which has a bridge that's leads 350 m to a round building. And not forget the beach, km on km with white sand. Brugge on the other hand is set a few km inland, and has a lot of canals and interesting architecture. Set up by the Vikings and then becoming the most important trading centre in Northern Europe, it also has a interesting history. Perhaps the most beautiful place in Belgium.....absolutely worth a visit!
