Bathroom, Often one of the smallest room of the house.
It is a space were we are most vulnerable and want to relax. The necessities are already present. All we can do is adding a few elements to make it more cosy.
There are some products that are perfect for this purpose. Beside the cosmetic use, these products also have a strong visual value due to the perfect branding. That is why they can easily be used as design object that give the bathroom that little finishing touch.
1. Aesop
My all time favorite, I think that a Aesop kit will be my Christmas present to myself. I still need to find a dealer in Belgium tho, anyone any ideas?
2. L:A BRUKET
I already managed to find a concept store in Brussels where I can buy this products. So this is also an option for christmass!!
3. Terrible Twins
Fun little products with a vintage vibe.
4. Studio Oliver Gustav
This brand has a higher luxurious look and handmade package. The price range is naturally a little bit higher but worth it.
5. Delbôve Cosmetics – Brussels
Last but DEFINITELY not least, I am proud to present to you this Belgian Brand.
I wasn’t able to visit the store yet but my holidays start from next week and visiting Delbôve at Abdijstraat 67 – 1050 Brussels is on my to do list. Stay tuned for more about this amazing brand.
Thanks

I don’t know if I have mentioned this before, but I work in an office in Brussels which is one of the market leaders in complete renovation and conceptual design of offices in Belgium. Designing offices may seem boring at the first sight ( that is what I thought too to be honest) but today’s demands for offices are changing. People are working longer hours, and that is why they want their workspace to have a home-like atmosphere.
So the modern offices are nothing like the boring cubicles and desks in a row as we imagine them. Every company wants something unique and a space where the employees like to arrive at in the morning.
This project is a great example of an un-boring office. It is a work of MFRMGR Frejda & Gratkowski Architekci for Decerto (an IT company) based in Warsaw – Poland.
Their main goal was to step out the boring cubicle divisions and introduce a home-like office which increases the productivity of the employees. That’s when they decided to create a Mini Town…The cubicles are miniatures of flat roofed houses.

“Plywood-framed windows cut through the walls are designed to create less claustrophobic working conditions for the inhabitants, but also to allow communication with passers-by.” Dezeen
The staff actually started to put personal belongings on the plywood window frames which was totally unintended but very welcome. This completed the whole purpose of giving the office, a home-like atmosphere.
Thanks for passing by.

Last weekend was magical.
On Friday, I helped a friend with gift wrapping. I love that! He couldn’t find his scissors which meant wrapping without using scissors… Challenge accepted! 🙂
Saturday morning, we were invited to the annual Breakfast at Tiffany’s event. That is and stays magical. Every time I enter the Tiffany’s and Co store, I feel like a little girl in the candy shop. I guess it is true what they say… maybe diamond are a girl’s best friend…
After that, I finally set up our Christmas tree. It is not a big one because of the fact that the apartment is not huge neither. I would rather keep it small and simple but enough sparkly.
Only thing that is missing … The presents!
How was your weekend ?
If you have any idea’s for cool presents, let me know in the comments.

Why I love Scandinavian design? Because those interior just feel like a fresh breeze through the daily life.I love the lightness of the space despite all those little objects and accessories. Everything is perfectly balanced. The use of the color white doesn’t cool down the atmosphere because of the presence of the neutral and warm colors in the accessories.
These two modern Scandinavian homes are currently featured on Stadshem Real state website. I would move to north just to live in one of these homes … Just love them.
What do you think? Planning to move?

Lately, I watched a stand up comedy show. Alex Agnew is the guy’s name. I am not a big fan of Flemish stand up comedy, I prefer the classic ones like Eddy Murphy shows. But this show’s subject was really interesting to me. It was about the fact that nowadays, we all want to have, do or even be something/someone special, out of ordinary…
I agree, I always try to create my own beauty by combining objects or by creating them myself. We can see this upcoming trend everywhere in the society. In our food, fashion , stores…
It is about that last one that I want to write today. Concept Stores.
I am always looking for fun shops to visit because I will always be surprised in those kind of stores. They often have products and brands that I don’t know about. That is a great way to find out about the latest trends. An other reason why I love concept stores is the fact that in a small country like Belgium, it is hard to find all of these Scandinavian stores that I LOVE, but some concept store offer a variety of those brands. they obviously don’t have all the products but it is better to have access to a few of them then nothing, isn’t it? :)!
I will post some pictures from my favorite concept stores that I visited during the passed weekend. They are all situated in Brussels.
I took some pictures from blender 01 and hunting and collecting shops but I couldn’t take any in hei shop & tea but I will gladly show you what I have purchased in hei shop.
hei shop & tea is a small store situated at chaussée de Charleroi in Brussels. I really love the light but warm atmosphere of this shop. The products available are mostly (if not all of them) Scandinavian brands like The house Doctor, Bloomingville, Snug, Scandinavisk etc. The young owners were very friendly and ready to help which makes any store instantly more appealing to spend your money in 🙂 !
A fun extra fact : they also have a small kitchenette were they have a variety of delicious cookies. Definitely worth to visit!
My favorite brands available at the moment – Bloomingville, Snug, The House doctor, Scandinavisk

I finally found my all time favorite RO Candle buy Skandinavisk and … I didn’t hesitated to put it on the counter !
Besides that I also bought these two cute marble geometric candle holders by Bloomingville.
The other fun treat for my kitchen (or the office … ) is this vintage looking scissors with leather handles.

A small industrial looking concept store with a warm interior also situated at rue des Chartreux. I found a series of NUD Collection lighting elements in there and I was very pleased with that!
I also bought a small but AMAZING present for my sister from this shop but I cannot post any pictures yet :).
Blender01 also has a small food section I must say … a VERY small one ! You can find a starterskit, insect themed, snack pack in there … Very interesting if you ask me!
