About me

My name is Yvonne Eijkenduijn. I live with my husband Boris (who I affectionately call Bo) our cats, Bonbon, Truffel and Cupcake on a fairy tale farm from 1827 in the Danish countryside. I was born and raised in The Netherlands but since my late teens I’ve lived in America, England, Belgium and now in Denmark. I’ve renovated five homes, raised 16 kittens and baked a lot of cakes.

For over 20 years, I have shared my passion for interior styling, renovation, and slow living, transitioning from a traditional blogger to a dedicated community creator on Substack.

I am a small business owner, author of 3 cookery books and a photographer. After years as a high-profile influencer, I have moved my focus to The Yvestown Blog on Substack to distance myself from brand-driven "influencing" and return to authentic, inspiration-based storytelling.

We are currently renovating our sixth home and business. As from July 2026 you will be able to come and stay with us on our farm in Denmark where we host two self containing cottages, and art gallery and wedding barn.
