Dear Reader

It’s been great fun preparing many of the features for this edition of the magazine! Long time ago I had the idea of creating some nice garden beds from scratch: I wanted to p lan exactly which plants and colors to use, and I wanted to ask our talented graphic d e s i g n e r a n d a r t i s t He l l e Ro u t h e t o m a k e s o m e b e a u t i f u l b e d d r a w i n g s w i t h w a t e rc o l o r s . L o n n i e i s ve r y g o o d i n t h e g a rd e n but I’m not so I really enjoyed getting some help along the way.

I’d like to pass on these ideas to you. It’s impressive to watch a small grass area turn into the wildest and most beautiful garden b e d s t h a t yo u c a n p o s s i b l y i m a g i n e w i t h i n a f e w m o n t h s , a n d t h e y l o o k l i k e t h e y’ve a l w a y s b e e n t h e re . A n i c e s i d e b e n e f i t always included in our planning procedure is that you can pick t h e s e f l owe r s a n d u s e t h e m t o m a k e yo u r ow n b o u q u e t s . Bu t a l t h o u g h t h i s m a g a z i n e i s f u l l o f g a rd e n b e d s a n d f l ow e r s – that’s not all. Of course this edition also presents some exciting h o m e s , i n s p i r i n g d o - i t - yo u r s e l f f e a t u re s a n d g o o d f o o d – a n d ever ything is inspired by summer. I par ticular ly like the feature on English afternoon tea. Perhaps it’s because we borrowed my grandmother’s old flowered china that reminds me of old times when the summers were always warm and we’d sit in the garden amongst blossoming fr uit trees. Just the thought of those trees m a k e s m e s m e l l t h e m a g a i n . C o f f e e w a s s e r ve d i n w a f e r - t h i n c o f f e e c u p s a n d a c c o m p a n i e d by l o t s o f h o m e m a d e c a k e s . We definitely recommend baking your own cakes and laying a nice table with a tablecloth and a nice bouquet of flowers from the garden or from the local flower shop. Even if it’s just afternoon tea on a normal Sunday afternoon or on a weekday – why not make it something special?

Enjoy!

The favorite color is blue; the st yle is coz y and inviting.

Here at Willy and Nick ’s home in Hilversum, Netherlands, you re ally fe el welc ome . T he home is ador ne d with collec tions from a whole lifetime nicely combined with various kinds of old handicraf t. Willy has always been a c olle c tor a nd a n enthusia s tic fle a ma r ket visitor.

Whenever she needed something for her home, she’d find it at one of the loc al flea markets. She likes things with histor y : she knows where most of the couple’s things are from, she bonds with her things and she doesn’t like p a r ting f r om a ny thing . D on’t we all k now that feeling ? Most of us are cra z y about these wonder ful, old things and we keep them for years. When we’ve finally encountered a treasure, we don’t want to par t from it just like that.

Tip: P a in t a p i e c e o f f u r n i t u r e t o h ig h lig h t a c e r t a in atmosphere. Nex t to the dining area is a large cupboard f ull of china . It doesn’t look big and clumsy bec ause it’s been painted white. Tr y to imagine this cupboard in raw wood – it would add a completely dif ferent feel to the room and “take up” much more space. But bec ause it’s been painted, it underlines the bright, air y, Nordic atmosphere that Willy likes so much.

The home is full of small, neat arrangements featuring all the wonder ful, old things that Willy and Nick have collec ted throughout the years, including baskets, old c ans, glasses and beautiful china .

Willy has furnished the home with many dif ferent styles and things so in order to make a red thread run through the furnishings, she uses the colors blue, white, cream and beige a lot. This creates a calm impression and adds coherence to the whole house as by magic . Now and again she paints a piece of furniture to arrive at the desired ef fec t. She also has a sof t spot for pinewood a nd le ave s ma ny of thos e items with their or iginal expression. This adds warmth and personalit y to the interior design.

Tip: P la c e s m a ll c olle c tio n s o n a t r ay o r in a b ox a n d exhibit them. You and your visitors c an admire these wonder f ul a r r a ngements a nd it ’s much b et ter tha n hiding ever y thing in drawers and cupboards.
