A kitchen in a calm, traditional & yet an elegant touch in earthy colours.

Visiting the Gyeongbokgung palace in Seoul today. People are wearing Hanbok which is a Korean traditional dress & refers to the traditional clothes worn by men, women & children.
Hanboks are colourful & typically consist of a fitted jacket & a wide skirt for women & trousers for men. In the past, the hanbok was worn daily but now it’s reserved for special occasions such as weddings & festivals.


What do you think of a dark bookshelf? It reminds me of our first home when we were newlyweds. We had a dark bookshelf covering a wall & white painted walls that we combined with a mix of white & dark furniture. Quite traditional & probably an unconscious copy of the parental home.

Traditional Christmas decor in green & red – makes my heart beat.
