Hello, dear Reader! I've missed you! Good to be back and blogging from Canada. Fingers crossed that the technical issues are resolved.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I share some beautiful photos from Venice. I think they evoke the atmosphere of the city in the water well.</div>

Dear Readers,<br />
<br />
I apologise profoundly for the silence. This week everything went wrong: First my computer broke down and then I ran out of storage space on google meaming that I cannot add new images to european chic. Since I am now also temporarily using an old computer I cannot even upgrade my account and purchase new storage space since this particular computer does not support chrome. I am trying to fix the problem(s) this weekend and just wanted to let you know that I miss meeting you and sharing design & inspiration from europe. I love blogging so this is not the end of the blog. Please do check back soon. <br />
<br />
Kind regards,<br />
<br />

In this Greek house it is a tie between having breakfast in bed, on the terrace or on the roof. Tough choices to make early in the morning! I love the simplicity of this interior. There is nothing pretentious here.</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The last photo maybe of interest to european chic readers from the 'new world'. It is the Emigration Museum <a href="http://www.ballinstadt.de/" target="_blank">BallinStadt in Hamburg</a> and I can highly recommend it. I learned a lot about migration here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">An eclectic work space with neon pink - my new obsession - is fun and cheerful. The polar bear is cool and, perhaps, useful at fending off unwanted colleagues/kids/spouses/neighbours. I also like the mood board a lot.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Welcome to Casa Camper (yes, of the shoe fame) in Barcelona! Just like the shoes the design is cool, functional, laid back and includes lots of their signature red. I've earmarked this hotel for my next trip to Barcelona and I also noted some nifty low cost style ideas to steal. Notably the wall of different mirrors and the shaker peg board from which everything can be hung including a flat screen tv. </div><br />

Every once in a blue moon a city girl yearns for the countryside and some culture and where else can you so easily combine the two of them than by visiting the <strong><a href="http://www.chateau-monte-cristo.com/" target="_blank">Le château de Monte-Cristo</a> </strong>which is close to Paris (30 minutes from Gare St. Lazare), the home of writer Alexandre Dumas. The château is placed in a lovely parc and cosisnts of the main building (first photo) and Dumas' writing retreat which is flanked by a stone dog-in-his-dog-house (below) - which is too cute for words. Personally, I wouldn't mind owning the small château...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Any excuse for a party, right? Especially in summer when you can set everthing up in the garden or the park. I am partial to the paper pompoms floating above the table (and would keep them for further use indoors). Have you ever had a party in a public park? We've had our fair share of them. One year we went out to Parc de Sceaux with all our goodies in tow (including champagne, of course!) to eat under the cherry blossoms. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today we have 28C in Paris so sitting in front of the computer is less desirable than going to the park and eating ice cream or macarons. Not that yours truly needs any reason to eat macarons, especially if one walks past a certain famous macaron place a lot. </div></div>european chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13153496776183103996noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956316929024422646.post-88898584641122568982012-05-22T19:21:00.009+02:002012-05-22T19:21:00.137+02:00Converted Orangerie<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S36aMFgRTuc/T7qXHvfhMFI/AAAAAAAADyA/UdzlQDIfDCY/s1600/52240_hs201102110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265px" kba="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-S36aMFgRTuc/T7qXHvfhMFI/AAAAAAAADyA/UdzlQDIfDCY/s400/52240_hs201102110.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The conversion of an old Orangerie in Geneva, Switzerland inspired me today. With a building like this one you can go either way and the owners decided to boldly add a very modern addition. They furnished their home with design classics in bold colours whilst keeping the walls and floors neutral which really makes the colours pop. Isn't the sun-filled dining room great?</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Bourgie lamp is one of Italian manufacturer Kartell's greatest designs in my opinion. It is at the same time classical and traditional and innovative and ironic. The modern baroque masterpiece was designed by Ferruccio Laviani. The translucent plissè shade makes for a very cozy light.</div></div>european chichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13153496776183103996noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3956316929024422646.post-26018390872920893362012-05-17T17:44:00.022+02:002012-05-17T17:44:00.365+02:00Maison du Monde<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UlLITmHGNtQ/T7TXrQ7r4jI/AAAAAAAADw4/z_qfX8lTgdQ/s1600/european+chic+blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400px" kba="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UlLITmHGNtQ/T7TXrQ7r4jI/AAAAAAAADw4/z_qfX8lTgdQ/s400/european+chic+blog.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This house is located here in France but the style is truly 'mondiale' and eclectic. Napoleon epoque hallway, Nepalese pavillon in the parc, art deco dining room, Henry II buffet in the kitchen and a hyper-modern pared down bathroom. Of course, it is the poorch I love most, as I am officially porch-obsessed. </div><br />

Since the garden season has started and I live in a big city I am very interested in city gardens. How do you turn a few squarementers surrounded by buildings (and hence often with little sun light) into a lush paradise?The examples I post today all get the 'green thumb up'. </div>

A very eclectic vintage kitchen-diner which I had saved in my files. I admire the boldness of mixing such different pieces together and create something cool yet cosy.</div>

When I recently asked you, read readers, which countries I should feature more a reader said: Scandinavia. Today I present a Swedish summer house to my liking. It has just the right mix of yellow and pink accent colours to keep it interesting. I am obessed with porches so this one is a big plus in my books.</div>

Enfin, photos from my trip to Berlin, one of the most the dynamic capitals in Europe! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Above and the next two photos are from Rosenstrasse, the site of a major resistance of ordinary citizens against the jailing of their (Jewish) relatives in 1943. Afterwards, you see photos of Clärchens Ballhaus a eating and dancing venue which is over 100 years old and was a major hangout of German bohemians and artists such as Otto Dix and Alfred Döblin. The design hasn't changed at all and has a morbid charm. The last few photos are from Kreuzberg, a cool neighbourhood formerly located next to the wall.</div>

I am dreaming about sleeping in such a grand European bedroom and listen to jazz, or maybe classical music (from hidden speakers as not to disturb the decor). The first bedroom from Portugal is more cosy and perfect for winter whereas the second bedroom is airy and best for summer. </div>

Funny coincidence that the beds in these photos are 'unmade' since I've mentioned it <a href="http://europeanchicdesign.blogspot.de/2011/01/guest-post-how-do-europeans-perceive.html" target="_blank">in a post</a> that I've noticed European beds are messy. </div>
