Inspiration
Show your work
I got really inspired by Austin's first book 'Steel like an artist'. His next book 'Show your work' is also a must-read for all of you who like to inspire others. His approach to creativity is simple but so true: Every new idea is a re-mix or mashup of one or two previous ideas. Share your work, ideas and knowledge with others… That belief is the reason I started this blog and write items for Gimmii and collect products and images I love on Interieurindex.

Column LEVEN! Magazine
For the Dutch magazine LEVEN! I wrote a column about how to optimize the lighting and atmosphere in your home.
Summary: take your time to mix and match the light sources you use. Buy extra lamps to test what works and what not (return what is not working for you!). The tint of all lamps varies in warmth. Take into account the color temperature of illumination you choose. It's measured in Kelvin (K). The lower the number, the warmer the light. For example the flame of a candle is 1200 Kelvin. With this in mind and some extra effort you can gain a lot and make your house a home.
