Vintage blue

Funny how everyday occurrences can inspire us to get creative.

We made some changes in our kitchen. Replacing the microwave for a proper oven, created some challenges with storage. Or to say it short , the oven was to big to place in the same cupboard as the microwave.

Thinking outside the box we created a whole new cabinet, with shelves above it. Problem solved. My husband then thought it was a good idea to paint the wall a different colour. Yes, great idea and after some searching on my beloved Pinterest, we decide to go blue. But not any old blue, it had t be blue with a twist.

In our local hardware store we stumbled upon chalk paint, in the colour Vintage Blue. Soft, but not pastel and using chalk paint makes for a very mat finish. I hate shiny surfaces, so this is perfect!

This beautiful colour inspired me to make this moodboard. Combining it with wood and black, so it matches the colours in our kitchen. Pretty pleased with the result. Hope my kitchen will look equally nice.

Strolling along the Provence

Today I decided to share a photograph from our recent holiday to the south of France. We visited the Provence. In my opinion the most wonderful county of France! The light there is truly amazing. The people are friendly and the general atmosphere is magical. No wonder artists choose this place to inspire them. Vincent van Gogh lived in the lovely village of Arles, He was so captivated by the light that he made several paintings.

This photograph  shows my husband and daughter strolling around the lovely village of Correns. I was walking behind them and I wanted to capture them together in the beautiful light.
This is my absolute favorite photograph of that particular holiday, although I made a lot of pictures. The Provence does that to you, it has a remarkable effect on your senses which made me fall in love with this place. We are absolutely going back there next year. Can't wait to make loads of photographs!

So what do you think of this image? I would love to here your opinion. Would you have done something different? Let me know in the comments, I always want to learn and here someone else's vieuw.
