Hectic eclectic procrastinator Interiorator
When Iris asked me to write a guest post on C-More a while ago, I jumped at the opportunity and decided to immediately do nothing for two weeks. Well, not really. You see, I can be a bit of a procrastinator – and so here I am now, offering my apologies to Iris for my tardiness before the eyes of everyone on the internet. The thing is, it’s fall – a season that to interior design professionals is as hectic as those final days before Christmas. Still hectic or not, here I am to tell you a bit about my blog. It’s called Interiorator and it’s just what the doctor ordered if you’re into eclectic, colorful and unusual design-y stuff. To get you in the mood, I’ve put together my top ten personal Interiorator favorites.
1 Maddnes
Let me start with a bang – the notorious Amsterdam-based designers Maddnes are my all-time design heroes. That giant blue head they designed is now the most eye-catching of eyecatchers in my living room.
2 Abigail Ahern
Hero number is Abigail Ahern. This enfant terrible of the interior design world taught me everything I needed to know to give my home a much-needed makeover. She also inspired me to paint out my walls and ceiling in dark blue! You can see the pictures I took at Abigail Ahern’s home right here.
3 My hallway
Well, here it is. Home! It took me forever to paint the hallway but the result looks quite fetching, doesn’t it? Here are the before pictures. Pretty shocking huh?
4 VTwonen
My home was featured in Dutch interior design magazine VTWonen earlier this year, quite an honor! You can see more pictures here.
5 Les Puces
I love Paris. I love vintage. And I love Rod Stewart.
Well, not really – but I did run into him when we were both shopping for
vintage design at Les Puces de Saint Ouen.
6 Designmuseum Gent
Another city I love is Ghent. The local Designmuseum has a formidable collection of Seventies and Eighties furniture – you should check it out some time!
7 Wanderlust
I usually think up my own interior design trends, thank you very much. That being said, I have to say I was quite impressed by this Wanderlust trend space at last summer’s Elle Festival in Amsterdam.
8 Farrow & Ball
I had a blast recently painting an old bar cart in orange
and then styling it for Farrow & Ball. You like?
9 Tropicana Rotterdam
Remember the old Tropicana subtropical swimming paradise in Rotterdam? It was abandoned about five years ago – which didn’t keep me from sneaking in a while ago to take these pictures.
10 Mickey Easterling
Sure, I make a lot of content myself for Interiorator. But once in a while, I also see something online that grabs my attention and practically forces me to write about it – like this all-pink apartment I once saw on the New York Social Diary website.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoyed this little introduction. See you soon on Interiorator, okay? Buh-bye!
