But I needed some extra space one time and grouped them all together. Couldn't help myself shifting them to and fro till I was satisfied with the alignment. Then, when I'm done, I love to just stand and watch them from a distance, over and over again. A happy-moment-treat for myself.<br /><span style="color: #990000;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/2forhomes/BirdhousesVogelhuisjes?feat=directlink">click here for more photos</a></span><br />KJ<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGkzMngBYzJk0hYL2slY5RpvD5Jvsyb8V57PdchOZzydb4aoruxCI1eC9igTykb5Qavvcn2S7Fa8b_B0Y6mIqRmM5-n3TXF1zAEEUYKoZAtApdYRHYZhVqU3YjN2vrO1R46mpFK4qS9Vb/s1600/IMG_6138.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDGkzMngBYzJk0hYL2slY5RpvD5Jvsyb8V57PdchOZzydb4aoruxCI1eC9igTykb5Qavvcn2S7Fa8b_B0Y6mIqRmM5-n3TXF1zAEEUYKoZAtApdYRHYZhVqU3YjN2vrO1R46mpFK4qS9Vb/s320/IMG_6138.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Ik ben dol op vogelhuisjes, hoe meer hoe beter! Ze staan gewoonlijk overal in mijn woonkamer-keuken. Maar ik had op enig moment wat extra ruimte nodig en groepeerde ze daarom op één plek. Ik moest gewoon even schuiven en schikken tot ik tevreden was over de compositie. En dan, wanneer ik klaar ben, vind ik het gewoon heerlijk om te staan kijken vanaf een afstandje, opnieuw en opnieuw. Een klein 'happy-moment' voor mezelf.<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/2forhomes/BirdhousesVogelhuisjes?feat=directlink" style="color: #990000;">klik hier voor meer foto's </a><br />KJ<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFKJBu8jSeXe4KeiUMFx9xocbbRmit0Sq82IlbOCJd-9yEXjUclhCcOJLbLLxiipHgOynKWbNBSOHvl4cjX7AX1kaYFzTy0EGm3kq74iuepcv0RA6bkT5pje3QDu8BAxHvxPFmBRhrSTvF/s1600/IMG_6110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFKJBu8jSeXe4KeiUMFx9xocbbRmit0Sq82IlbOCJd-9yEXjUclhCcOJLbLLxiipHgOynKWbNBSOHvl4cjX7AX1kaYFzTy0EGm3kq74iuepcv0RA6bkT5pje3QDu8BAxHvxPFmBRhrSTvF/s400/IMG_6110.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

Spray Carnations / Trosanjers

Why? Well... first of all, they are stronger than most roses when they are in a vase at home. Spray Carnations can last for 2 or 3 weeks. Even when these flowers wither, they fade in a beautiful way. Spray Carnations are also very cheap to buy in the Netherlands, much cheaper than roses. And the light pink variety gives a soft and cuddly image.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLGkOy1i4rIom6v4dL9FHbIXzAzV4kZxhMyfkbPG4b8SUlEhz2BYYm_4BpLwm_Ni-o3_aSX_MapA43k43j0L5DDLXi9ymaXIqCsmoSybRKM7EfQ3jSbJItYGdUF06NZ-b-p1iVtWhHjpNw/s1600/IMG_6310.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLGkOy1i4rIom6v4dL9FHbIXzAzV4kZxhMyfkbPG4b8SUlEhz2BYYm_4BpLwm_Ni-o3_aSX_MapA43k43j0L5DDLXi9ymaXIqCsmoSybRKM7EfQ3jSbJItYGdUF06NZ-b-p1iVtWhHjpNw/s320/IMG_6310.jpg" width="213" /></a><br /><br /><br />Veel mensen kunnen trosanjers ouderwets vinden, maar Claire is helemaal gek op deze bloemen. Waarom? Nou... ten eerste zijn ze sterker dan de meeste rozen wanneer ze in een vaas staan thuis. Trosanjers staan zo'n 2 a 3 weken. Als de bloemen verwelken, dan gebeurt dat op een mooie manier. Trosanjers zijn erg goedkoop om aan te schaffen in Nederland, veel goedkoper als rozen. En de lichtroze variëteit heeft een zacht en aaibaar karakter.

I love the use of damaged furniture and the yellow-brown walls.  I found almost everything at a second hand store in my residence. My favorite elements in my home studio are the retro chair, the funny wall of fame, the printed  vintage radio's and the corduroy sewing box. This furniture also works very well with the new technical equipment and the iMac".<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-c1eeYJzCTDayYImzmAn0R2cfaBaA0GRiTpIJWWp5jM8IDyo3OzBTXhRSrkA8d88ZXWTlJrBiC-QG7S04oufdPJAVRq-MDqWnVbctWKiz_yDmFXneSMfMhkS0ttN_1FmT4iSgdr_oOH1q/s1600/IMG_0766.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-c1eeYJzCTDayYImzmAn0R2cfaBaA0GRiTpIJWWp5jM8IDyo3OzBTXhRSrkA8d88ZXWTlJrBiC-QG7S04oufdPJAVRq-MDqWnVbctWKiz_yDmFXneSMfMhkS0ttN_1FmT4iSgdr_oOH1q/s320/IMG_0766.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Op zolder heeft Claire een muziekstudio die ze in vintage/ retro heeft gestijld. Claire: "Normaal zou ik niet snel kiezen voor retro in mijn huis, maar ik denk dat het wel logisch werkt als ik aan mijn muziekstudio denk. Ik houd van het beschadigde meubilair en de geelbruine muren. Bijna alles vond ik in een kringloopwinkel in mijn woonplaats. Mijn favoriete elementen in mijn studio zijn de retro stoel, de grappige wall of fame, de geprinte vintage radio's en de met ribstof beklede naaibox.

Hoe mooi, kostbaar en bijzonder kan een cadeau zijn?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofsLXx8Je-qS6sKqMQlc-B_Nfg6OyfxzWpZKZFstKEOo-lWDSlmE3V7ArMrPWrhRbHmonXJfMeS0uFzvl22roiA-wq2XW7O41wLdILwpAQF81Hlqy4kLEq2xgXG2JmEqhxkJYPg-PUarD/s1600/IMG_8168.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiofsLXx8Je-qS6sKqMQlc-B_Nfg6OyfxzWpZKZFstKEOo-lWDSlmE3V7ArMrPWrhRbHmonXJfMeS0uFzvl22roiA-wq2XW7O41wLdILwpAQF81Hlqy4kLEq2xgXG2JmEqhxkJYPg-PUarD/s400/IMG_8168.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

The kitchen was bought at IKEA's but with adding some vintage and shabby chic elements it became a real country style kitchen. A few of Claire's favorite elements are: The classic aspect of the new stove, the open cupboards on the wall, the meat hanger with vintage stuff hanging on it, the glass drawers that she painted in the same color as the kitchen cupboards, the French egg basket and the big double sink.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifCRc_5q0-DcNPZ_0IwyF94FGQZtFlMnjA5OFWLT-U6dH1i33W8DTWCdPYwU6-h6Qku4Mv8gQSOdGawrVxKvIIFUbWjeCNVeLx88mbVvQ0dVlXjR7lYieM-zRVp2Ns5REP4st3HHY3hvOL/s1600/IMG_6203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifCRc_5q0-DcNPZ_0IwyF94FGQZtFlMnjA5OFWLT-U6dH1i33W8DTWCdPYwU6-h6Qku4Mv8gQSOdGawrVxKvIIFUbWjeCNVeLx88mbVvQ0dVlXjR7lYieM-zRVp2Ns5REP4st3HHY3hvOL/s200/IMG_6203.jpg" width="133" /></a><br /><br />Claire's keuken is echt klein, maar heeft alles wat ze nodig heeft. De keuken is gekocht bij IKEA maar door wat vintage en shabby chic elementen toe te voegen werd het een echte country style keuken. Een paar van Claire's favoriete elementen zijn: Het klassieke uiterlijk van de nieuwe oven, de open keukenkasten aan de muur, de vleeshanger met vintage spullen die eraan hangen, de glazen lades die zij verfde in de kleur van de keukenkastjes, het Franse eiermandje en de grote, dubbele wasbakken.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhamGPMRUgFnxMxHoK_XPuw8Qqzn2-EzKiuFBFprPfHNwzcgAC9fSjvBU7PfqKN845sAV8liiG9Cdr7YJXTdCTZFUmLo22uNwFtz5Qo2hP_qS2g_cYzKtTz_BJKJixScR2eXvGQMJc0mOBP/s1600/13+september+2010+%252811%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhamGPMRUgFnxMxHoK_XPuw8Qqzn2-EzKiuFBFprPfHNwzcgAC9fSjvBU7PfqKN845sAV8liiG9Cdr7YJXTdCTZFUmLo22uNwFtz5Qo2hP_qS2g_cYzKtTz_BJKJixScR2eXvGQMJc0mOBP/s320/13+september+2010+%252811%2529.jpg" width="213" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXYTo4GOOIidxVxGNaC9eBXMWO7ijDtG0qmjlxGfvNwNkggJG_GUgDZT2B4E7YHR7Y3ABijQRdGhAyYd9XX5H87yeQJDqP4NmNPyiLKySKpFtH-xAq8Ed22u4MpUToQ9UVAaMtKza4pJec/s1600/_MG_8077.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXYTo4GOOIidxVxGNaC9eBXMWO7ijDtG0qmjlxGfvNwNkggJG_GUgDZT2B4E7YHR7Y3ABijQRdGhAyYd9XX5H87yeQJDqP4NmNPyiLKySKpFtH-xAq8Ed22u4MpUToQ9UVAaMtKza4pJec/s200/_MG_8077.jpg" width="133" /></a></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj42gkJDNrN9DlMYniKtsI32-9lLp2e5NZsFRcd3GRvCz5Z-ZNLi3k12n8p-KvSeW8aWyK0BDQ4bNRyYED6EoXFSKj5-SsdABvJDa3tznfLdbycrLvR07irQ_R3hQmNUgjy4AF6II179wm9/s1600/IMG_6222.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj42gkJDNrN9DlMYniKtsI32-9lLp2e5NZsFRcd3GRvCz5Z-ZNLi3k12n8p-KvSeW8aWyK0BDQ4bNRyYED6EoXFSKj5-SsdABvJDa3tznfLdbycrLvR07irQ_R3hQmNUgjy4AF6II179wm9/s320/IMG_6222.jpg" width="212" /></a>
