Things I have to tell you!

My dear friends, I am so proud to be featured on the website News and Updates of MH AKERS Fine Custom Homes !

 MH Akers is a Memphis based homebuilding company. Hank Akers, the owner, takes great pride in creating beautifully hand-crafted, tasteful homes for his clients, while maintaining the home’s architectural authenticity and purity.

Hank is conscientious and detail-oriented, and creates a relaxed environment when working with clients. He enjoys personally guiding you through each stage of the entire custom process, from team selection and architecture to cost projections and construction.

MH AKERS delivers quality workmanship which is definitely to discover on their website, where you can see beautiful photography of their projects.

I really am convinced that MH Akers works in the same spirit as my company Lefèvre Interiors does.

Detailing, craftsmanship and professionalism is highly valued in our both companies.

This is the kind of company I would love to work with some day!

Charming and romantic Hotel in Bruges

Situated in the very heart of the city of Bruges, a few steps away from the canals, THE PANDHOTEL, reveals its charm in this typical private mansion from the 18th Century.

The hotel is member of “Small Luxury Hotels of the World” and “Romantik Hotels International”.

A lot of my readers have already emailed me asking where to stay when visiting Bruges.

This is one of my favorite hotels in Bruges and I definitely want to recommend it to all of you!

3  This 18th Century carriage house has been converted to a wonderful “boutique hotel” with a delicate and skilful interpretation of each living space.

 

25

The owners of the hotel,very much in love with antiques and objects of art, wanted to share this passion with their guests while creating an interior full of charm and character expressing a timeless, elegant, nice and comfortable atmosphere.

 

5 Cosy and nostalgic atmosphere in the bar.

4 In the library guests can relax by the open fire. The pine panelled walls and old wooden floors give the lounges the singular elegance of an English house.

Asiatiska detaljer

Idag har jag letat efter asiatisk inredning och lite spännande detaljer på det temat. Hittade den här härliga inspirationsbilden hos Baazar. Kul att se att stilen går att få in en modern miljö och att det dessutom inte behöver vara just rött och svart som man oftast ser utan blir riktigt snyggt med grönt.

Today I've been looking for some Asian details for a project at work. I found this inspiration image at the swedish webshop Baazar. I think its nice to so another color than the usual red and black. It looks really great with green instead.

Tillbaka igen efter en riktigt lång semester

Hoppas ni haft en härlig sommar allihop. Själv är jag nu tillbaka igen efter semestern och... jag har börjat mitt nya jobb. Så här ser det ut på Doris. Har varit där andra dagen idag och det blev lite stressigt. Metro Bostad kommer ju ut en gång i veckan så det gäller att ligga i om det ska bli någon tidning. Cool vägg, eller hur - det är vanliga A4 blad i olika färger som är uppsatta i ett mönster så allt ser så där pixligt ut. Till vänster på bild sitter Stina som är vd på Doris men också skriver bloggen too much inspiration.

I hope you have had a great summer, everyone. Now I'm back again after a really long vacation. Yesterday I also started my new job. This is how it looks. Take a look at the cool wall, its only papers for copying machines in different colors that is put up in a pixel like pattern.

Forrige helg var jeg i bryllup i Mosjøen, og på veien opp var jeg innom FANTASTISKE
 "Fairytale Cupcakes" i Trondheim! For en nydelig sted!
