Mirror decoration

Our new porch is looking great and the first thing I am sharing from our construction project is the mirror decoration. Even before starting to work on the foundations, we knew where the mirror will be and how it will look like. We thought of how we were using the previous porch, what was missing, […]

Mugs from Ukraine

Today’s post is a short one, in which I am showing the mugs from Ukraine. Some are gifts, bought for my husband or by my husband. Another gift is the mug from Lviv Volunteer Kitchen, as a thank you for my work there. Which one is your favourite? I made close ups with all of […]

New bathroom

Last year I mentioned that we were planning to completely change our bathroom. Check that post for the “before” pictures. It needed a bit of TLC, but we could have replaced some of the things we had with new ones and it would have been fine, but we wanted something very different. It took a […]

Bathroom renovations

We are in the process of renovating our bathroom. Because of its small size we had to think outside the box. Our kitchen looks amazing and unusual because we thought a lot about how to renovate it. We bought our home 10 years ago and we’ve renovated the bathroom when we bought it. The house […]

Artwork

Artwork

I am sharing this post today for two reasons. First of all I want to show off my new artwork, that is now on the wall near the entrance. It looks amazing, I always loved the Dutch style of still art with beautiful flowers and insects on a black backdrop. The second reason is because […]

My garden in July

My garden in July

A quick update on my garden. I’ve added a few more plants to replace the ones that did not make it through the winter. I also have veggies growing in the garden, which was not what I wanted. I bought 3 “small” tomato plants for the conservatory, to raise in pots and now they are […]
