FRUSTRATED ;-) at the Gevonden op Marktplaats Wintersalon
Time to share a little bit more about myself than I do normally. For many, many reasons I’ve been practicing this year with frustrating myself. That may sound weird, but it has brought me a lot. Or rather, it has brought me nothing. Which is a good thing. Let me explain….
Michelin stars shine at the Timothy Oulton instore dinner party
Dinner tonight will be served by Erik van Loo from Parkheuvel in Rotterdam,” my host for the night says – and I nearly fall off my chair. A chef from a restaurant with two Michelin stars who will be cooking for me at at the Timothy Oulton flagship store in Amsterdam…
Ink Hotel Amsterdam – Style written in Ink
Give me a new boutique hotel with an interesting history and I’m a happy man. It’s as simple as that. As you may have seen on my Instagram feed, I’m taking a much-needed break in Cascais, Portugal. But did you know my trip started out in style last week at the…
TEFAF 2015 – This stuff belongs in a museum!
It’s Sunday afternoon. March 15, 2015. And my head is still reeling. Yes, I went to TEFAF 2015 yesterday and I’m suffering from Stendhal Syndrome so badly even Mr. Stendhal himself would feel extremely sorry for me and say, there there Interiorator – just take a chill pil and calm the…
Khotinsky makes sparks fly at Energiehuis
Taking pictures for Interiorator was the last thing on my mind when I was in the Dutch town of Dordrecht earlier this month. In fact, all I could think about was how excited (and nervous) I was to see my husband star in a play at a local theater festival held…
Gevonden op Marktplaats Salon – part 2

Gevonden op Marktplaats Salon – part 1
Mosterd na de maaltijd – mustard after the meal. It’s a Dutch saying that is just perfect for today’s blogpost about last weekend’s Gevonden op Marktplaats Salon in Amsterdam. I had planned on going to the opening last Wednesday but alas, something suddenly came up and I couldn’t make it. For…
My interview with Bussoga – part 2
The more designers I interview, the more I realize what they have in common: Tremendous drive, a willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done and a the ability to think outside the box. The same goes for Josep Motas, the talented Catalan ceramist and founder of Bussoga. I…

At home with Gert Voorjans
An interview with the deliciously eccentric Belgian interior designer Gert Voorjans – that’s not something that you get to do every day. Together with photographer Jacqueline Louter I went to Antwerp for an inspiring conversation at the overwhelming home of Mr. Voorjans – who has also just released a very special book, called Interior Life….

Abigail Ahern’s home – part 3
We’re movin’ up one floor today for the third installment of our tour of the fantabulous home of Abigail Ahern. During the design class that I attended along with about ten other (very nice) people, the question on everyone’s lips was why, oh, why was the ceiling in the Abigail’s studio…

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blogpost about the home of the enfant terrible of interior design, the one and only Abigail Ahern. Today, it’s time for part two: the living room and dining area. As you can see, Abigail is not afraid to ‘go dark’ – in fact that was her big motto when I visited her…
