When it comes to travel, I have a preference for a certain type of Airbnb, I usually call them slow Airbnb. Accommodation that is often located in the countryside with a tranquility over it. A place to find peace and recovery. A while ago we checked in at Riurau de Maria to find inspiration for our renovation project 'Villa la Romana'. A place that breathes peace and tranquility. …
To make a rustic wooden bench from old wood.
Some time ago we made new bedside tables from a stump. I only shared it on instagram but thought I wanted to share this on the blog as well. Similar bedside tables are available in slightly different interior design stores, but why not do it yourself instead?

Sanding and dressing an old armchair This week's DYI and recycling project has been sanding and dressing an old armchair from the 50's.

I have officially started the greenhouse season for this year. I started down a little first spring cleaning. Swept the floor of fallen leaves and soil debris.

I have namely wanted to write this post about how I restored my intestinal health and my intestinal flora on my own for a very long time. I will try to stay a little short but promise nothing.
