Pallet love

I had a great day today. I went to the 'kringloopwinkel' in my town: that's a second hand store that you can find in almost every city in Holland and I was lucky to buy some really nice things. You can also bring them the stuff you want to get rit of. They will sell it again.

 I wanted to buy even more stuff, but I couldn't carry it. It's only a five minute walk from my house, so it can be so tempting to have a look. I have to be careful not to buy too much. I had two full plastic bags today and payed only 20 euros. But sometimes when I go, I don't find anything I like or want. I will try to make some pics soon of the stuff I found.

Don't you love plain cheap objects that can be used to make beautiful things like furniture? I'm in love with these pallet ideas. A project I would like to do is to make a pallet table (or maybe two) and I would love to have a pallet bench in my garden. It's very easy to create. Don't you love these following pallet ideas? The first one is from Body and Fou. If you don't know this blog I can strongly advice you to visit this blog. This blog is very high in my top 10 of best interior and design blogs. I'm in love with this living...

Stills in my home

Another sneak preview in my home. These pics are mostly from my display cabinet. I bought the vintage pharmacy bottles a few months ago for only a few euros and I love them a lot. The antler is one of tree. They are hanging on the stair wall. The dala horse is very special to me: it's a memory from my childhood. I often played with it when I was a child. I love books and I love to display them in the home: it brings a interior alive.

NEON rocks!

I am so absolutely in love with the NEON trend: I love to buy clothes for my girls and myself with neon accents, but in my home I didn't have any neon yet!
What a wonderful sunny day without snow to bring a touch of neon in Mirte's bedroom...
I was inspired by the neon masking tape and fun kit I bought at Hema last week.
Two and a half years ago I already made the pink chalk board for her. My other daughter Eva is playing in the room when I took the photos. She is so sweet playing with her hat. I have used wooden letters, chalk, a rock from the garden and 3 sorts of masking tape from Hema to make the text.

In my garden

It's a beautiful day to enjoy the snow... I just took a picture in my garden: a bird walked there... I love it!
 
Have a great weekend!
