I've always been slow to publish on the blog, but this time there is an excuse: last year we moved to our new house, out of town. Only now we have managed to more or less finish the downstairs. The garden is huge and empty for now (read that as "full of weeds").
There was no water, so we had to get a company drill and make a well; which took long (including the whole time around our wedding...with guests visiting..), but the water is now in the house and very clean and we never have to pay a water bill again! The upstairs is used for storing stuff for now, mostly gardening tools and other things which normally do not belong inside a house.
But it is a happy time and Christmas was warm and calming. And finally with a real tree!

I have been in love with antiques ever since I can remember. My family had a small business running an antiques shop and I spent some time in there helping out over the summers. I just love the history and feel some of these gorgeous things have underneath the surface.
I am always daydreaming about mixing some of these beauties with a more modern style in my dream house. They just don't make art and furniture like that anymore nowadays. We cherish them and repair them, to make them look like new again. Somehow I doubt anyone will do that to some of the modern pieces we have as new today, one hundred or two years from now. They will probably just sit back and say: "what were they thinking?!"



 Why not use an old crystal chandelier above a  modern dining room table?



I adore these antique arm chairs, they look so classy and Downton Abbey-ish. And we all love Downton, don't we?

However, I am not too sure about the huge eyed pillow... I would leave it empty. Then my Beagle could climb on it for naps :)


Wow.. that is really an imaginative way to mix antique into a ver modern kitchen. I love the look! I only have one reservation though: it is probably hell to clean all those small wooden details. I wouldn't jump ahead and put it under my cooking area, or anywhere near it. In the dining room, however, that's a great idea!

Personally, I love candles. I have a few on almost every evening. For lack of a fireplace in my flat, when I have friends over, I always have a big bunch of candles on, one end of the table. Big and small, tall and short, all kinds.

And it's Christmas, everyone should have candles on during Christmas time. Have a magical night and get some inspiration from these beauties:

I'm getting way out of my antique-loving, historical look designs and furniture with this new post on futuristic looking bedrooms.
As cool as it looks, I can't help but feel that a round bed is terribly unpractical. I can just see myself falling off of it in the middle of the night...
I do love the idea of a clear glass wall shower/bathroom in the privacy of the bedroom. In that case, however, the toilet would have to be in a different room!
And the tunnel shaped one at the end of the post, except for the weird blue LED lights, I think it would be perfect for those who like to sleep like a bear in a cave!

What do you think?
