weekend recap

So many thoughts, but so little time to blog. We had a quite lazy yet exhausting weekend which is perfectly possible around our home.

Lazyness involved:
-an amazing book on lofts (a surprise from my husband, thanks :-), reading blogs and drinking some wine

-kids playing with PlayStation Move which is an amazing alternative to 'just sit in front of the screen and pushing buttons' kind of games. So much fun! Here is Daniel brushing the teeth of a crocodile :-)

-this happened to my hair. Still unsure if I liked the result... maybe I will show it to you later...

-sale finds: Sessún boots from Yoox and some stripes and greys from COS and Toast

-a temporarty lighing solution for the entry...

The busy part involved going through our stuff, organizing, decluttering, recyling, giving away, selling on e-bay during which process I realized how much I hated most of our stuff. We had some BAD-BAD shopping habits before and that has to come to an END!!!

I am really busy right now, more inspiring and less bitter content coming soon!!

what's new around our house

My favorite black leather Converses sadly passed away last week so I bought a new pair. Well, not exactly new. Esprit Vintage have a vast collection of vintage Converses, some of them are almost new. This is the third pair I bought from them and they cost only 20 euros. That's quite a deal, n'est-ce pas?


Remember how I told you that while I love kilims I have never owned one? I proudly present my first ever kilim rug bought on e-bay!

This IKEA lamp is not new, but as we finally decided to stay in this rented house a little longer we became braver with decorating the walls so these sticker posters that were once in our bedroom found their new place in the living room.

(as you can say the walls are already quite f*cked up so I am pretty sure we will lose a significant amount of the deposit anyway)

Two ikat cushions bought during the summer sale at IKEA. They cost like 1,5 euros and I really regret that we did not bought the third option.


Last week I bought 'Home Is Where The Heart Is' from Ilse Crawford and I am obsessed with it. Such an amazing inspiration! Really thought-provoking. It totally reassured me to go on with the life made simple approach.

It is finally summer in Belgium. For the time being...

Magyar fordítás:
Végre beköszöntött a nyár Belgiumban - legalábbis egyelőre -, így gondoltam mutatok néhány színes fotót, amiket a ház körül csináltam.
