I love this new column on Design*Sponge … when i was younger (much younger) I used to sell flowers on a market every Saturday, some people even called me the flower-girl … so I have a huge passion for flowers and can’t wait to see Sarah Ryhanen is going to share with us …
With a little hard work I have re-designed and uncluttered my dear Bloesem … I really needed to organise, categorise and minimise my beloved blog … after two years of collecting many posts and cluttering up my sidebanners I wasn’t very happy anymore with the layout and thought let’s go back to the beginning … the reason why I started this blog … showing and sharing with you beautiful work by designers form all over the world … uncluttered… so what does that mean exactly?
Cleaner and sleek design of the Bloesem home- and subpages… better categorization of posts, easier access to Bloesem’s special reads and world tours … easy acces to subscribe to feeds and a link to my facebook page … in sum, less is more … and I hope you enjoy the new face of Bloesem … looking forward to a new year with many exciting designs for our homes!
{ps. during the weekend I password protected Bloesem’s mainpage which I had to do unfortunately to finish the redesign, and I truly appreciate all the worried emails I received from you, but the password is gone, if you still have difficulties accessing, please use the refresh button}

I’m thrilled and excited … the readers of Ohdeedoh nominated my kids blog :: BloesemKids :: as ‘best kid’s design blog of 2008‘ … and now everybody can leave their vote … until Tuesday, 8pm Eastern time … of course I would be very happy if you would vote for BloesemKids! Thanks a million for all your support!
Sometimes things just have a way of turning out somewhat differently than expected (or planned…)… I was planning
on leaving you with some great posts just before Christmas and wishing
all of you a wonderful time, but due to family matters (nothing serious, but just very hectic…) I couldn’t finish in time … SORRY … but I hope you all had a
great Christmas and enjoyed the time with your loved-ones … we
had a very special week which we spent with our family and I enjoyed every moment of it …
After one week of not starting up my computer it was almost exciting this morning to open up my inbox and the internet again … yes this is how addictive it can feel and it was even more exciting when I read about the very nice mentioning of Bloesem in the Australian magazine Real Living … WOW, such a HUGE honor to be mentioned like this and together with these other blogs like Poppytalk, Desire to Inspire, Decor8, Design*Sponge, Apartment therapy, I borrowed these scanned images from Jo and Kim from the fabulous blog Desire to Inspire, thanks ladies!
And a special thanks to Hana from Real Living … I can’t tell you enough how grateful I’m for this mentioning and how very nice this is for Bloesem and for me … a great motivation to try and bring you original and nice posts in 2009! {ps. if anybody can help me with getting a hardcopy of Real Living, please let me know, I would be very happy}
… would you like to see and read some more about the things that inspire me and I really love ….
… thanks Ez for the lovely invitation! I will be back tomorrow with some final Holiday Decoration posts just before Christmas … irene xx
