Today I’ve tried out my super-duper Christmas gift, which has been designed by my very creative man.
It’s a personalized cookie stamp, just for me. Now that my name is all over the cookie, I really need to make sure that they turn out super yummy. So I’ve been baking some butter-almond biscuits after an old recipe from my great-grandma. They are the best!

I’ve found at Château de la Resle the perfect chandelier by Chis Kabel to light up any outdoor romance.
Have a cozy weekend!

The very talented Dutch designer Lucas Maassen knows best how to surprise us with new creative ideas and how to keep his boys busy.
I’m very touched by this project, because it has been almost 10 years since we have studied together and the oldest son was born. So nice to see how he inspires the next generation to keep up the creative work.
… and I stop and stare how fast time goes by.

bambino street style
Actually I have shot this cool cowboy for Bambino Street Style, but I think this look & toy can be fun for the big cowboys too.
Ps: I have been rocking too. From now on you can follow NQSW on Facebook.

Happy weekend and welcome to the kitchen of Brigitte and Ivan. He is one of the witty boys from Atypyk and she is a fashion designer and a fantastic cook. Good taste is something really nice. Especially when it comes to cooking and decoration. I’ve found both in this cozy little Parisian kitchen, which is packed with original details and great style.

Unfortunately I didn’t get much time lately to post more of my latest pictures or travel stories. I’m trying to catch up soon. Really!
So today I’ll share with you my inspiration of the week. The Linnman Gallery. Mia Linnman from the great blog Solid Frog will open in September together with her man a very nice and inspiring gallery in Jönköping, Sweden. It will be a place for creativity, art, design and interior design. Check it out – it’s gonna be something great!

Spotted at DMY Direktorenhaus in Berlin. Lovely idea! Unfortunately I can’t remember the designer. Any tips and ideas?

As promised, some impressions of the DMY - International Design Festival Berlin. Big name – small festival. It was worth it to pass by, because the location rocks and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. I have run into a lot of people from the good old days in the Netherlands and I noticed that time flies – too fast.

Oh yes! Every time we travel to Paris, I definitely find my happiness with Atypyk. I admire the two very creative and charming Frenchmen for the great ideas and the positive energy they spread. We have been friends for a while and I have to admit that I’m their biggest fan. You can find really cool gadgets in their little showroom at 17, rue Lambert at the bottom of Montmartre.
For everyone who isn’t in town, find your happiness here and shop till you drop!
