White tones interiors

Going through my files of interior images, I am always attracted by the images I filed of more or less "white tones interiors". Looking at them I feel a sort of calmness coming over me.
Although there can be used sometimes a lot of colourful decorative items and furniture, the white background catches all these and neutralizes the environment.

Do you notice the same experience looking at those images here below?

Even hanging these colourful paintings, the room radiates calmness.

Although there are a lot of furniture here, the room has a peaceful air.

And in a bedroom are often used white tones to stimulate a good night's rest.

Brussels Hotel Le Dixseptième

To anyone who is planning to visit Brussels, I would recommand you the charming
Hotel Le Dixseptième.
The hotel is located between the Grand Place and the Central Station, only a few steps away from museums, art galleries and antiques dealers. See my post of The Brussels Antiques Dealers.


Le Dixseptième is a luxurious and serene oasis in the historical heart of Brussels.
Since the 14th century this house has been situated in the most prestigious area of the city.






Le Dixseptième is also the perfect site for seminars, banquets and elegant soirées.



The hotel has parquet flooring, crystal chandeliers, paintings and wooden medaillons. So it is a very charming place to stay.













A luxurious suite.






Another beautiful room.





The lounge.






Another view of the cosy lounge.




Notice these wonderful steel windows.









Breakfast room.







Seminar or gathering room.



Another view of the seminar room.

If you are interested in a stay at this hotel, please go to visit the hotel website www.ledixseptieme.be.
Enjoy your stay!

Photo shoot

Because tomorrow the Beta-Plus photographer will make a photo-shoot of our home to publish in one of their next issues of the books, this afternoon I took some pictures myself to prepare the shoot of tomorrow.
Here I show you a few pictures I took of the living room.
So within a few weeks I will show you the result of the shoot or maybe you will discover it in the next Beta-Plus issue!



































This last picture is one of a still-life in the kitchen.
