A Sofa Cover

A few months ago I went in search for a new sofa cover for my IKEA STOCKSUND sofa. I bought the sofa used about a year ago for just…

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 🥳

Our bedrooms were in desperate need of a few extra

Our bedrooms were in desperate need of a few extra outlets as our rooms only had two in really odd places. I came up with panelling so we could hide the outlets in the wall. As soon as the shops open again I’m going on a hunt for carpet as my feet are cold because I’m turning into an old lady.

Another really satisfying client project finished.

Another really satisfying client project finished. I hand painted this dressing for @el_marieke which was quite the job, 3 coats of paint in 2 weeks, but the result is just so beautiful. I used @farrowandball All White. The nude wallpaper above the vanity is a linen canvas from @borastapeter The room still needs a mirror but so far so good.

Farewell Christmas decorations. The years are goin

Farewell Christmas decorations. The years are going so swiftly so we’ll be together soon enough. Happy New Year ⭐️✨💫 And a warm welcome to all the new followers 👋🏼

Boris and I are both lucky people, we can live off

Boris and I are both lucky people, we can live off of our creativity and there isn’t a day in our lives that we are forced to work a job we don’t like - I really call that lucky. We were able to build so many wonderful things for ourselves and others in 2020. We celebrated our highs and we dealt with our lows - it’s nothing new really. 2021 isn’t going to be much different as the virus is still here, a new year doesn’t make that go away. So please be safe, consider your fellow man, be a good sport and all that. Good things WILL be coming. Happy old years eve xxx

Merry Christmas 🎄 We had a lovely breakfast tog

Merry Christmas 🎄 We had a lovely breakfast together and called my mum on messenger all the way in Suriname so she could be with us. We got a few presents for each other, a stuffed toolbox 🧰 for me, and now we are going to play games. I kind of love this bubble/lockdown Christmas as I have so much time to just relax and do my own thing. Hope you are all safe, healthy and merry.
