The Perfect Belgian Kitchen

This kitchen was built by Joris Van Apers bvba.

This is the perfect eighteenth-century inspired kitchen; with all its original elements, proportions and aging techniques - this kitchen is truly one-of-a-kind!!

I can't get enough of the color palette that was used; I could sit in this room all day!

Notice the eighteenth-century fireplace integrated above the oven

Sorry for the fuzzy-scanned pictures... these images don't do this kitchen justice!

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

The Perfect Team!

Nothing I love more than an amazing company who creates and offers perfection!  

Bourgondisch Kruis is an amazing team who offers one of the most extensive collections of Burgundy slabs and natural stones; these can then be turned into floors, fireplaces, stairs and columns.   This particular company has its own carpentry workshop as well as their own design team.  

Below are some pictures of Bourgondisch's projects!  

Every picture illustrates functionality, class and timelessness.

I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do, and don't forget to check out their website!

Couldn't you just stare at these images all day?

The warmth of the woods, the reclaimed fireplace mantels, the lime-washed walls... I absolutely LOVE Belgian decor!!

I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Needing The Perfect Antique?

Lucca Antiques is such a beautiful store!  They have two locations, one in LA and the other in New York City.  Here you can find that perfect one-of-a-kind antique that will be an heirloom forever.  Below are some of my favorite images from their website.  

I would die if I could design a home with these pieces!

I love how each piece is so soothing and timeless!

If you want more information on these items, check out their website!  

I hope you're having a wonderful week!

Incredible Architecture!

Several weeks ago while I was looking at Greet's beautiful blog Belgian Pearls, I came across one of her posts highlighting a beautiful home in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I was so taken by this home and was happy to see that Greet had done the work for us in finding out who this architect was.   The architect's name is Ruard Veltman.  Below you will see the beautiful architectural elements this man has created.  Thank you Greet for finding this incredible architect/website and enlightening us with new twists on European architecture!

These images show that old world/European design can be soft, soothing, earthy, clean and timeless!

I love  Ruard Veltman's take on European architecure... by far some of the best I have ever seen!

Thank you Greet for all your knowledge and inspiration when it comes to design and architecture!  Your blog is incredible!!
