Hello little Felix! Welcome to this wonderful family! I know your mom since school and she is such a wonderful friend and the most loving mom you could dream of.

Bed&Breakfast Leon°16, Brussels

October 12, 2015

Welcome to Leon 16! A brand new Bed and Breakfast in Brussels, and the perfect choice if you’re planning an overnight trip to our capital! Leon 16 is located in the trendy and fashionable Dansaert district and surrounded by cozy squares with numerous restaurants and cafes. Owners Annelies Veys and Karel Dierickx created a refreshing place with a balance between design and authenticity. The two suites, built around a patio garden, breathe serenity and calmness. Perfect to relax after a day in the city. Suite Ernest, located on the first floor is a place full of light, warmth and coziness and provides you with a lovely balcony, and a bathroom with a perfect tub! The other suite, named Alfons, is a real garden suite, located in the backyard. I can’t decide which one I love more. In the morning, you will get spoiled by a delicious homemade breakfast by lovely host Annelies.

For the photoshoot of this wonderful place, we wanted to capture the atmosphere, rather then a complete overview. We found two lovely ‘golden’ models, Janice and Daan, who where in perfect harmony with the surrounding. The moving pictures are a wink to the magic and playfulness of the place. You can have a look at the compete photo series here. Hope you enjoy it!

Strawberry Breakfast

October 7, 2015

While getting spoiled with warm and sunny days, you might almost forgot that fall is slowly arriving. But as long as they are here, I love to enjoy strawberries for breakfast. This morning I made a quick and easy strawberry smoothie topped with lots of fruit and seeds. What are your morning rituals?

Ico collection

September 30, 2015

A new shoot for a new brand! ‘Ico’ is a recently launched collection of everyday objects that combines functionality with sculptural forms. Every object is made to last. The materials that are used will age beautifully and mark the passage of time: copper, stone, terrazzo and wood. Each piece of the collection can stand on its own, but I loved to combine them to create a dialog between the strongly shaped volumes and the different materials, like the massive stone and the perforated brass. The collection is the result of a collaboration between Annemarie van Riet, from the beautiful blog and webshop Joy of Little Things, and designer Marc Merckx. You can have a look at the complete lookbook here.

The collection is for sale in webshop Joy of Little Things.
