Organising your workspace

Some fun tips for organising your workspace.

An original way to display your pencils on your desk.

Do you have to take your pencils with you? Make an elastic band around your notebook or planner.

Don't want your magazines lying around? Use a close hanger to hang them on a wall or a cabinet. 

Never know which cable is which. Use a bread clip as a cord labeler. 

I love re-using things. Take cans and glue or screw them onto a board. Voila, the perfect place to store pencils.

Changing the house

We might be changing up the house a little bit. Here are some impressions what the plans are.

Above you see an overall view. There are three main area's: The dining area, the living area and a music area.

First, the dining area. Right now we have quite big chairs. Using these IKEA chairs will be way more calm in the scenery. A nice lamp above the table will be great lighting for in the evenings. Also note the wooden barn door in the back. This will give a great option to separate two rooms when needed. 

The living room is kept clean and simple. I always love a big peace of artwork on the wall. A footstool is a great multifunctional object. You can use is as a footstool, table or as extra seating space. I still have to find a way to add the television in the room without it being so present. 

This little corner is a great place for a record player. On the wall above the record player shelfs can be added to display some records or pictures. A room isn't finished without some artwork, mirrors od pictures on the wall. When you only have furniture on the floor your eye will be drawn downwards. Make sure to put some elements on the wall or vertical elements like curtains in your room to make a balance.

The Candy Room (Melbourne)

I love this interior design. I love the fact that this interior combines 2D and 3D effects. It has a really surreal feeling to it.

The lamp is incredibly made. It really adds to the 2D feeling dimensions.

How to make a stamp!

Today I made my own stamp!! 

There is this awesome laser machine near my office. Here you see the rubber material. In the computer you can make a text or a drawing that the computer sends to the laser machine. 

The machine is located in "FabLab" an organization who makes it possible for everyone to use cool machines like this.

The machine gets rid of all the material I don't need. The result is a stamp of my logo.  I glued the stamp on a piece of wood. That way it is easy for me to stamp.

Before I glued the stamp on the wood I painted the wood and made a print of the stamp on the wood so I can see witch stamp it is.

And here is the final result!!!

Mr Important

I Love this designer. He is called Mr Important and makes the most amazing designs. These pictures are from Vanity Las Vegas. 

This might sound stupid but I think toilets are very important to restaurants or nightclubs. It’s so easy to make the space a little more special. There toilets above are more then a little bit more special, they are amazing. I love the graphic elements.

Another obsession of mine is the entrance of a building. Whether you like this hallway or not, you must admit it is an epic experience. Doesn't it make you feel a little like Alice in wonderland?

I like outdoor spaces. How do you make them feel warm and cozy. An outside fireplace and outside curtains do the job quite well.

Again, nice graphic elements combined with mysterious lighting. I’d like to go here.
