Let the hollyday season begin!

Dear all, 

How is the hollyday season?

We are setting the Christmas tree this WE. 

But for now, let's just light a light and relax. This is my winter decor. 

Hello Tulips (Bye Bye Christmas Tree)!

Dear blogfriends,

How are you?

I was sick today - and slept all day long - and I'll need to stay how until Thursday at least. 

I am very tired so I won't write a long post.

I just wanted to share these pictures I took on Sunday.

We took away the Christmas tree and I love the fresh tulips we bought.

It give such a nice and crisp atmosphere.

It makes me feel better while I'm sick!

 

Country Side Dinning and Living Room Inspiration from Rue Magazine

 I'm a big fan of Rue Magazine. Everything featured is always very tasteful.

 and the editing is pretty much perfect.

My parents live in an amazing 18th century water mill in belgian Ardennes. 

This house : 

Right now, they are undertaking major works in the dinning and living room. 

I told them I'll document it on my blog, but it's not going to be finished any soon.

I'd like to share with them those very tasteful inspiration pics from Rue Mag because, when you undertake major works, it's always nice to dream a bit and to have some goals.

It think those interiors are quite their style.

The two first pics are a dinning room styled by Kelley Moore.

I like the lacquered table. My mum would like to change her dinning table, but maybe some spray paint could be needed?

Nice upholstered dinning chairs.

In the same issue, I also liked this Rhode Island House designed by Ore Studios.

I like the layered rugs.

Pretty french bergères upholstered with  graphic patterns.

 

Lovely side lamp.

 

I always love benches. I think it's a very nice way to save some space.

Two first pics from the last issue of Rue Magazine. The other pics coming from Ore Studios published in the last issue of Rue Magazine (October 2012).

Storage for TV, Books, Printer and Documents (2)

I am usually not afraid of assembling Ikea furniture. I actually think it's fun and rewarding. But this one was kind of an advanced one. Not that it was very tricky, but reaaaaaaly long. I am not lying if I say it took us about 2 months to have it totaly finished.

1. You have to buy the thing : go get it, take it home... and... that's about it, because you are just exhausted.

2. You have to assemble all the structure, which is like assembling 8 ikea furnitures!

3. You have to drill to instal the lightings.

4. You have to instal the medias

5.You have to mount everything (it is 256 m high)

6. You have to instal the doors....

7. The sliding doors

8. Justify it to the wall. This was tricky because you have to first leave a distance between the cabinets and the wall to instal the media and the lights and then justify. Plus, there was a stop contact in the way we had to deal with.

9. Eventually filling and styling the shelves

Every step taking a weekend. Yes I wasn't lying about this taking 2 months! But the result is great!

Living Room : Moodboard II + aboriginal art

So, here is the new moodboard...

The painting below is an aboriginal painting by the artist Jeannie Mills Pwerl that I discovered on the blog Ish and Chi (http://ishandchi.blogspot.be/2010/08/artwork-for-living-room.html).

I love that it's abstract and I love the colors.
