SWAP AROUND

Ok, it was definitely not the plan to do a make-over in the first weekend that we were back home from our holiday.

With the new school year on our doorstep the timing could actually not have been better.

I landed the idea of changing ‘a few things around’ on the Friday evening which resulted in a full day’s work on Saturday. Luckily my hubby was on board. Because we soon realized that both beds did not fit through the door. So there was a lot (!) of unscrewing and re-screwing.

STYLING PROJECT – DOMAIN OF A TEENAGER


As interior stylists, we face many styling related challenges which vary from order lead times to finding the perfect accessory and anything in between.

Yet in our latest project, a summer house with 4 spaces to be styled by us, we came across a real challenge. We were asked to create a room for an 11 year old boy. The real challenge lies not in the lack of inspiration but more in the fact that it needs to appeal to a teenager and remain enjoyable for the coming years.
