HOME_DECORATION: Driftwood_DIY

Everytime I walk at the beach ( in Holland though as in Italy I haven't really found a place where to find it) I like to search for driftwood,  I like the way it looks they way it is old and natural, the shape it has been given by the sea , but I never have taken it home with me. Sometimes I pick it up and use it for a beach walk or in the dunes but as I think of it I should have collected it as you never know when it is the right time to bring it into your interior. On Pinterest I run into all these wonderfull idea's , most of them are just simple DIY items others you will be able to purchase.          Pure and simple are all these DIY items ,love the i-phone holder and the candles.

Bits and pieces of my travel journal: LANZAROTE

  Most of my Italian friends who live in the nord of Italy take the opportunity to visit the mountains for a perfect ski break but I Just came back from a short winter-new year break to Lanzarote ,it's a real interruption from the cold winter to a warm 21° at the Canarian Islands, and I love the have some sun  to upload my energy for the rest of the winter in Italy. I've been visiting these islands since I was a child and I used to tour around the entire island while I was there but now with the kids I just love to have a week of total relax, long walks on the beach a drink around the swimming pool , reads lots of magazines and books and just enjoy the silence. My favourite is Fuerteventura especially for the quiet nature and beautiful beaches, however Lanzarote is pretty nice as well. I captured some pictures to share with you (even though I did not bring my Canon but just my Samsung smart phone, all pictures have been t...

Perfect day for browsing the web on the hunt for some Sunshine and inspiration , just had to take a look at the new ready to wear collection of Elie Saab.

PHOTOGRAPHY BLACKBOARD : First snow up in the mountains

It's been a while that I took my camera along and enjoyed the first walk in the snow. So last weekend we finally got out there, even though it was a short day it was enough to make you feel good and to breath some real fresh air. We went to visit Gressonay  which find itself at the bottom of the Monte Rosa here below on the background. At an altitude of 1.644 M Gressonay La Trinitè is the highest village in Lys valley, the beauty of this spot is at a certain time of the afternoon the Monte Rosa turns actually pink as the the name states, however I had to leave too early to capture this, but this little town is a fantastic place to just have a relaxing walk , there is a small lake where you can go ice skating surrounded by huge pines.                 Created by Martine

Share your Architecture : Food_Interior

Malamen Restaurant - Mexico City It's one of those places that has a great story, and while having your lunch you can't stop looking around you as the walls are just one big art museum. Every wall is just stunning and I love the simple and relaxing entrance. The Photographer Jaime Navarro   just captured it perfectly in all his pictures, just love the DIY idea of the wall with the 96 black & White portraits made by Marco Collin , or the wall with just empty white wooden frames, there are so many different details that makes it a very special place....it's a pity that Mexico is just so far away!  Created by Martine Source Yatzer
