Update of my place

I can't tell how happy I am. The only sad point is that I almost have never time to write an article.
Just back from Paris and soon I fly away to Mexico for two weeks :-)
Work, the B&B and shopping for other people absorb almost all of my time.
Oke I am not to complain, always traveling or shopping. But every evening I know why I fall asleep.

Here are some pictures for my little world.

Neo garden

One of the big projects of the apartment was also to redo the garden, it was not ugly, but way to minimalistic for me. In my dining-room I have almost a whole wall of windows, so I want to enjoy my garden all year around when I am looking at it from inside. So I choose for plants who stay green even during the winter times.

Here are the results and the before pictures ;-)
I am already very happy of the result, so it will be perfect in one years time.

It's spring!!!

Finally, we start to enjoy the sun. God we need it :-)
I enjoyed it a lot this weekend. The garden is almost empty and ready for the big works very soon.
Here are some pictures of my "spring".

BRAFA 2011

Last night I went to the Collectors preview of the Brafa 2011. With Sofie a good friend of mine. Well to make my article short it was a mix between antiques, wealthy people, lots of champagne and lots of zakouskis. The proof there was much champagne is that all my pictures weren't very steady. But no panic, normally tuesday I go back to make some other pictures.

Here are some pics already, enjoy!!!

Brafa 2011 Collectors Preview

What was I happy today when I collected my mail. Not because of all the bills I receive or junk mail. But I received my invitation to go to the BRAFA Collectors Preview tomorrow. I wrote already a post about it when I went to the press conference in Antwerp.
The Exhibition opens Friday, but Thursdays Princess Mathilde is opening the fair. And I will be there also :-)

Here his a picture of the nice invitation.


Thats meaning that I am gonna see wonderful things and take a lot of pictures and share them with you.

Costermans by Gérald Watelet

Well dear readers, today it was maybe a gray and very rainy day in Brussels. Nevertheless I moved my ass for my readers to Costermans today. "Ensemblier" Gérald who always has the chic to mix different styles "in style" worked his magic in the show rooms of antique family run business Costermans.
I know for some people it will look too modern and maybe even for my place its a bit too modern. But I like it a lot, they dare, and that needs respect.

Enjoy the pictures and the little video
