Happy Easter! Sorry for not sharing much but I’m

Happy Easter! Sorry for not sharing much but I’m definitely not enjoying all these C-holidays without friends and family around the table, it’s making me miserable.

I had to share this painted portrait of myself and Gustav and the original photo (swipe) painted by @borisvandegrint He’s currently working on his fourth commissioned human and animal portrait.

@borisvandegrint painted the portrait of our cat B

@borisvandegrint painted the portrait of our cat BooBoo on her favourite chair just a year before she passed away. She was born in the middle of our living room in a Dell pc box and for the next 15 years she moved with us to different countries and she was very loved. Yesterday was her birthday, just a day after our wedding day. I still miss her to bits but through Boris his art it feels like she’s still a part of our household.

Our home is from 1937 but the previous owners replaced the stairs in the seventies. As this will not be our forever home, and because replacing stairs is incredibly costly, we decided to make the best of it. We removed all the black railings and I painted everything white. Bo wallpapered all the way up to the attic and I painted the panelling a warm pink.

I’m so in love with these tulips. They are almost like little trinkets as at night the flowers close perfectly.

The reason I love snow so much is that everything

The reason I love snow so much is that everything becomes equal and mute. The garden is instantly tidy, the cars that drive by are quieter and people are more aware of their speed. But I can’t wait for spring either and summer and autumn - I love the seasons.

I’m Yvonne and I really like to go to the supermarket every other day because I don’t like to plan my meals ahead. But there is snow and ice and it would take forever to defrost the car so I took a sleigh and a basket and off I went by foot and it was lovely.

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t really stand it

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t really stand it when people don’t use the correct words for certain types of wood flooring. Here in Belgium everything that looks like wood and is on the floor is called parquet, it drives me nuts. parquet flooring is a type of wood flooring made from small blocks or strips of wood which are laid to create a regular and geometric pattern. We inherited a cheap IKEA laminate floor in all our second floor rooms. Laminate flooring isn’t wood at all but a photo print of wood made out of synthetic matter. Boris replaced it yesterday with French pine, a solid wood floor plank. So most people who have a wood floor have planks. So that’s out of my system 🤣 Anyhow on this photo you can see the remains of the last bit of laminate we have, it will be covered with wool carpet next month 🥳
