Boy have I been busy working on my home and various other projects. With a month left to The Yvestown Fair I need to get the front garden in tip top shape but I’ve been slacking and getting my boot room decorated.
We’ve made a massive transformation from something that looked like a weird conservatory, build in the seventies and totally mismatched to the architecture of the house, to a full functioning boot room/larder/indoor-outdoor room. Oh my the possibilities.
We got rid of the roundness and the single glazed hall of windows, that left us poor after the winter days.

We can now walk straight into the garden (and back and forth and back and forth, like cats like to do) pick veggies and flowers and hang the laundry out to dry in the sun. It’s just too idyllic but I’m in love with this wee room just off the kitchen. It makes so much more sense now.
I used the same wallpaper and curtain fabric as in the kitchen, so in a way (separated by an archway) it’s still part of the kitchen.
On instagram people asked me about this magazine rack. I bought it in a real dull office supply store for just €15. Try to google for one in your area.
I really need to go to bed but I’ll be back tomorrow with something fun for you to go to next Sunday.
ps: while linking a reader to my card display, I saw that Tentoon are also selling magazine racks. You can even get the racks painted in a RAL colour of your own choice, that’s something new!!
Yvonne, your house pictures are always so bright and cheery! Sitting here in rainy Sweden, smiling from ear to ear because of your happy, pretty boot room. Thanks for the pick-me-up
What a pretty room! Love the soft colours of the wallpapered wall and the polka dot curtains.
Oehhh, de gordijnen zijn echt fantastisch en wat oogt het allemaal heerlijk fris en licht!
Oh you’ve done such a beautiful job of decorating that room. I love that dotty cath fabric – it’s not one I’ve seen before but I do love it when made into curtains!! I’d love a room like that – my favourite colours and oh so pretty!! Well done! x
Heel mooi geworden Yvonne, te gek! we komen ‘m snel eens live bewonderen. xx
You never fail to inspire me – love this, esp. the Dotty CK fabric!
Your house is so beautiful!! Very elegant and cozy!!
That top photo is amazing, I love the contrast of patterns and color… SWOON!
Hope you are well, was so fun catching up with your blog today. So many gorgeous posts!
Such a lovely indoor outdoor room ! It would be perfect for my cat to go outside, then inside, then outside again, then inside, then outside … as cats usually do, like you say
Could be perfect for me too incidentally ! 
Hallo!
Ik ben helemaal gek van dat behang, maar ik kan het nergens vinden. Heb je misschien een internetadresje?
Mvg Sarai
Het behang is van Cath Kidston maar helaas niet meer in de verkoop http://www.cathkidston.co.uk
I love your house, beautiful photos
Yvonne, I love the wallpaper. I hv the fabric and just checked on CK website for the wallPaper. Am I correct to say that they don’t do this wallpaper anymore? I love your home. I lived in The Netherlands for 2 years and can just picture you doing n going to all those dutchy places
Yvonn the room is beautiful! So light and bright and full of life and love! Can’t wait for the book xxx
Hey Yvonne, geweldig mooi allemaal! Ik zou ook zo’n tijdschriftenrek willen kopen, maar ik vind het niet zo goedkoop als jou. Kan je misschien doorgeven waar je het juist gekocht hebt?
Prachtig huis heb je en een inspirerende blog. Krijg echt weer zin om van alles te rommelen in huis! Welke suffe winkel was dat waar je dit rek heb gekocht? Ik ben er al lang naar op zoek en woon in de regio. Alvast bedankt en veel woonplezier!
I love the basket in this picture (I love your whole home actually) where did you get the basket from?
