Hasta La Ideas

Good morning! Perhaps you noticed (hopefully not) that I wasn't behind my desk last week… I prepared all the posts from last week one week in advance so I could sneak off to our new apartment in Singapore…. only 10 days ago we received notice that we could come over and pick up our key… YEAHH we waited a long time but boy was it worth the wait. I'm absolutely in love with our luxurious small new space in this wonderful city.

Last week week we (my husband and sons) were cleaning the house, unpacking the boxes, driving back and forth to IKEA, the hardware store, the internet shop and all the other things that needed to be taken care off… off course we are not finished at all yet, but we are making progress… above a small impression from the boys bedroom… so happy I brought the yellow lamp from a thrift shop from the Netherlands, makes the room immediately bright and happy… in fact all the furniture you see in the top images are from thrift shops from the Netherlands. We are now way done decorating the place, but this is just a small start… we ae hoping to have the floor painted white. 

Entrance to the kitchen including the door to our bomb shelter!!! Can u believe it we have a house shelter like the Singaporians prefer to call it… an absolute waist of precious space in my opinion, but we are not allowed to remove it, so it's going to be storage room and Lode's new bunk bed that he loves so much. 

ps. we are not moving to Singapore, we are staying in KL but due to my husband's job we will be spending lot's of days in Singapore too… keep you posted! 

ps. tomorrow a great new Let's Get Personal Tour.

Perhaps this video explains it best…

Tina Roth Eisenberg aka Swiss-Miss was one of the 10 experts invited by SAY Media to compile a list of 10 voices in the category 'design' that she considers have an influence these days…,  A list of voices that matter…and she says Bloesem is one of them … yes that makes me smile 🙂

Why did SAY Media create this list: "The SAY 100 is a collection of authentic and knowledgeable online voices that create engaging content, drive conversation and shape opinion. At SAY Media we believe the power to shape opinion

is shifting from the faceless editorial voice of mainstream media to individuals, many of whom are taking advantage of simple technology to create their own properties and build their own media brands. And the best way to highlight that change is to show you who we're talking about." 

Thank you Michael Sippey!

It was so nice to read what Tina said about Bloesem: "Every time I stop by her blog, I get lost in the beautiful imagery and am inspired to rearrange and declutter my home." and even more fun to see that she gave me an official Twitter hash-tag #iwanttogothere …

are you already on Twitter, i love it more and more, for me much better than facebook and so much faster than emails… hope to see you there.
