A fresh, bright and beautiful Dutch cottage

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I do love a weekend escape. This white country cottage belonging to interior designer and co-owner of <a href="http://nu-interieurontwerp.nl/" target="_blank">NU interieur /ontwerp</a> Nathalie Fransen, architect Bas Van Egmond and their three children in the Netherlands hits the mark! The Dutch cottage has been renovated into a beautiful, fresh, light space using among other things, a lick of white paint, a new kitchen and bathroom. For a relatively small space of 34 metres square this family weekend retreat gives an illusion of space. Take me there!<br /><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #504f4e; font-family: Georgia, Verdana, Arial; font-size: 10px; text-align: center;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The black and white workspace of a Finnish blogger

A little piece of paradise in the Philippines

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I was at an event recently and met a girl who grew up on a tropical island off Japan. I was fascinated. She said she didn't appreciate her surroundings as a child but loves to go back and visit as an adult. Many people feel like that about their own home towns. But could you imagine if yours was as stunning as <a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/" target="_blank">Dedon</a> island in the Philippines? Created in collaboration with designers Jean-Marie Massaud and Daniel Pouzet with the ethos of eco-friendly tourism and barefoot living, it is a little touch of paradise and the ultimate winter escape.

Tuesday DIY: fab yet simple way to update a wall

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I came across this really fab, yet relatively simple polka dot wall DIY project over at <a href="http://mysecondhandlife.indiedays.com/2013/07/23/diy-polka-dot-wallpaper/" target="_blank">My 2nd Hand Life</a>. Maiju found a reel of<a href="http://en.nordicthink.com/mini-dots-black-wallsticker-p1103" target="_blank"> dot stickers</a> and stuck them at random over one wall. I absolutely love the outcome how about you?
