Belgian Design/American Retro?

It is amazing when you look through magazines you thought you read and lo and behold you see something Fabulous!!!!!!!! Just your style..... How did I forget this??????
Owners of this home are passionate for antiques and buy and sell them.


Love the hotel silver piled up on this bakers table.
This home is located in Belgium. It was featured in Cote Quest,  in January 2011 issue.

Love this big mirror reflecting the living room.  Heavy beams and a grand chandelier.

The dining room elegant but casual with the glass cabinets.......
Filled with White dinnerware and silver. The door pulls and the sign saying "Pull".
There are glass doors to the kitchen.

This is where the RETRO comes in, there is a Philco refrigerator, against an espresso colored wall with a floor reminicient of the 50's in America.... There is also a Petite sign on the door to the dining room saying " GANG". Love the cleverness of this.  The island is an old shop counter.
And not holding back on the mix of styles, the modern chandelier totally works in this room.......


The back side of the island in the kitchen is from someplace,
 like a shop as some of the square drawers have the enamel labels on them, saying "Amandes, Moutarde" Etc...... Owners Anita and Carlos really know how to put things together. 

The blue on this authentique canape is fabulous with the grey green of the Library.....

Spring Arrives Elegantly at Maison Pederrey

Ever since I have been attending Maison & Object this Belgian Company always made me think
that if I was ever going to do an outdoor living area I would like it to be with their furniture and accessories..

The quality of the products they make are top notch with beautiful clean lines and soothing colors.



The glass is made in Poland because the raw materials there according to Toni Van Parijs, one of the two delightful owners of the company, are superb. The vases are thick, clear and stunning.


Look how great this is with just three elements...
Do you love the little pet carriers/houses on the right?


This basketry is uniquely colored. A grey, beige that is made by letting it sit
in mud for a few days to achieve the color....

The wood is all reclaimed from old buildings so they are green!!!!


A florist comes in and does the flowers... Then takes them all away after 5 days. Waah!
Where do they go?????


This basket of hyacinths says spring to me. It's coming...


I thought I'd end it just the way it started.....These buds are for you!
