And I got the chance to see this little thingie. Impressive and quite so simple.
I really like the idea of traveling light – at your own ease, and staying in touch with nature.
I’m not sure what the reason is though, they forgot to include the price in the brochure …

Een modeshow georganiseerd door haar lerares tekenen (Nathalie Vanheule) en een vriendin van haar, Fleur Martin.

Mijn zus zit in het 4de jaar humaniora aan ‘t St-Lucas in Gent, en vanaf volgend schooljaar zou ze moeten kiezen in welke richting ze zich verder wilt specialiseren. Zelf twijfelt nu nog tussen binnenhuis of mode.
Vandaar dat we eens een kijkje zijn gaan nemen op de modeshow van Pony Attack.

Ze gaven 14 ontwerpers van België, Duitsland, Frankrijk, Nederland, Kroatië, … de kans hun werk te laten zien. De ene kleren waren zoals altijd iets draagbaarder dan de andere :) , maar het geheel was zeker de moeite waard om zien.

I think it’s really worth visiting for anyone looking for great ideas or solutions for refurbishing homes.

brems swing door

We found some interesting stuff. For example we talked to the people of Brems Doors, who are specialised in doors. Their very clean minimal doors turning with a pivot point, and sliding doors are really worth seeing. Hopefully we’ll be using one of these very soon.

If for some reason you’re looking for the html encoding of a special charachter – UnicodeChecker will display that character along with its UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings, XHTML entity, Unicode Name, mapping information and much more …
Some texteditors may have this option included in their software but if they don’t unicodechecker can save you a lot of valuable time …

I found some cool stuff on their website I wouldn’t mind having at home…

For instance this frame with grass to hang on your wall …


or these very kitsch curtains

or maybe this hub ..

Maybe only a bit more clothing :-) .

We immediately fell in love with the Dornbrachts showers (here underneath you can see one of the Rainsky Models).
But the dream fell apart when they told us the price …
Why ooh why :) …

Most faucets of Dornbracht are really nice – here you can see their eMote (works with an infrared module).

We chose these ones …

There is so much choice – and it’s difficult to find the right lighting for a specific room.
Since we are still refurbishing our home, these are some of the lights I stumbled upon.

Dark (BE)

1) Crosslight

They are available in different colors and versions.
You have for instance a wall-version of this model, but I wasn’t so fond of that one.

Dark Crosslight

2) D2V2

Truly nice. Also available in different colors and versions (hanging or standing).

Baulman (DE)

There are many LED lights available on the market for use in staircases, but most of them are not very minimal.
This one is, in my opinion.


Bover (ES)

For reading in bed. Very clean if you ask me.

That’s all for now …
