Might just give it a go myself :)...
A beach house tour
Already hearing the words beach house makes me smile.
I mean, I love the ocean, the seaside atmosphere, the dunes leading down to the beach, the salty air, the sea breeze, the sound of the waves washing ashore, walking barefoot in the sand, the water surface glimmering like millions of tiny little diamonds in the sun, hearing seagulls in the distance, beach huts. Simply, all things coastal.
Having a home in which most, if not all rooms and spaces come with an ocean view is well, my dream really.

Please enter
the mudroom
which leads to the livingroom
and here we have the kitchen
the lovely dining area
the master bedroom
(the floral pillow shams would need to go though)
conveniently with an en suite bathroom
a second double bedroom always comes in handy
and so does a second bathroom
some sleeping space for the kids
cozy area for lazy afternoon reading
to be enjoyed either indoors or outside on the deck
l
and it never gets boring lounging on the deck
while overlooking the beach. Never.
while overlooking the beach. Never.
bring out the cool refreshments!
I hope you've enjoyed the glimps you got of
"my" charming little beach house.
Do come back anytime :)

A winter cheer
to all of you, who like me, and for what ever reason, might be missing some of these wintery joys.

I have such a great feeling about this year.
Here's to an amazing 2012!
A little bit of Spring in January
The Finn in me is still for a little while longer yearning for a proper winter with lots of snow, however, the kind that stays with us for a few weeks. Not months on end. Yet there's no sign of snow here in the Netherlands, and with the temperatures we are having, not very convinced there will be any this winter.
Instead, it seems we are rapidly moving towards Spring, which I don't terribly mind to be honest. Came across these pastel beauties in my local supermarket while doing groceries, and I simply couldn't resist. So happy I treated myself with flowers :)!
The tulips now get to cheer up the corner in which our Christmas tree was still standing about a week ago.

In the Holiday spirit ... while looking back at this past half year
How quickly time has gone by. Seems like only last week when my daughter and I were still enjoying our summer vacation in Finland, out at the summer cottage with family and friends. Oh boy, so much has happened since then. Big things. Major things. Life altering changes. Wonderful changes. Freedom.
I've embarked upon a life of single motherhood. Moved from a 5 bedroom rowhouse appartment with a front and back garden to a 2 bedroom flat with a teeny tiny balcony (mind you - with the knowledge that one day, I will be living in my dreamhouse by the water). This new home of ours meets our current needs perfectly. Gone from being unhappily married to happily divorced. Changed jobs to something which resonates with me more than my previous job did. Gone wild with interior inspiration and decorating, admittedly so with a limited budget, but then again, requiring me to be even more resourceful and imaginative. All fun stuff.
Now I'm so looking forward to spending my first Christmas together with my daughter in our new home, bringing true meaning to peace, love and joy. I love the Holiday season. I do. Love it.
Here are some images that totally bring me in the X-mas spirit:
