Cacti & Succulents; 2 Ways

Last weekend I flipped my house, with that comes new DIY home projects and new plants! I love these little guys and I share 2 fun ways to display them while re-using tin cans.

Make a little succulent garden by displaying them in a type of small green-house or square vase. (see images above and below).

Second project are hanging succulents...

What you will need; 

- Cans

- Nail + Hammer

- Paint + paint brush

- Tape

- Rope 

1. Hammer in holes on each side, for the cans to be able to hang.

2. Tape them where you would like to paint them.

 3. Pull through a rope, string or like I used raffia.

Et Voila! your succulents are ready to hang!

On these gray and rainy days, I just want to brighten things up, wearing colorful yellows and sparkly sequins. How do you brighten up a dreary day?

DIY Match-boxes

A fun little DIY project to spark up some extra fire in the home. I always have a bunch of matchboxes laying around, because of the amount of candles I have spread all over the house! so why not make your match boxes look cute. They make great gifts as well, I like to give candles as for example "house warming gifts", so add a DIY matchbox to make it more fun and personal!

What you need;
- Matchboxes (any size)
- Scrapbooking paper (or other nice paper)
- Pencil, glue, scissors
- Optional; gemstones or studs or other embellishments

1. Trace the matchbox

2. Cut to size and glue the paper on

3. Embellish if you like...

Et Voila! your own fun DIY Matchboxes!

Earth-tones & Neons

I'm all about the the contra balance of colors, prints or anything really maybe it has to do with the fact that I am a libra or maybe I just like a happy medium. 

I love earth-tones like this olive green or go for a rusty color, neutrals like khaki or camel colors. Then make it pop by adding a vibrant or neon color.

PS; When wearing a maxi skirt, make a side knot if you have to hop on your bike (my mode of transport in Amsterdam)

Kitchens on Wheels

Yesterday we went to "Rollende Keukens" which is a food festival with kitchens on wheels. There are different cuisine's, coffee specialists, creperies, tapas bars, a foodies heaven! Also awesome live music and a great atmosphere. It runs till Sunday may 12th, so if you are in Amsterdam it's definitely worth to go there, and remember; Don't eat before you go!

 I believe they serve horse burgers here.... which is the new meat just ask UFC fighter Alistair Overeem. The cutest little Italian coffee car-bar on the picture below.
