We visited Marly in her beautiful family home in the previous edition of the magazine, and this time we’ll show you the garden. It all started back in 1997 when they bought the house and took over a traditional countryside garden full of standard plants. A big evergreen hedge towards the road added instant privacy – something that the couple really appreciated. They planted a beech hedge towards the neighboring gardens, and this hedge is now 10 feet tall (3 m) and surrounds the garden like a living wall. Towards the open landscape, they decided to sow a flower mixture which now offers a fantastic play of colors in summer. In the middle of the garden was a small cherry tree and the couple decided to leave it there and…

In the middle of the beautiful nature around Ängelholm in Sweden is a 116-year-old Swedish national style villa. This villa, which has been the home of Johannes and Elke since 2015, oozes of history and charm, and it’s maintained its authenticity throughout the years with its typical red and white facade and the solid stone foundation. The house was constructed in 1908 and it was in a good state when the couple bought it. Still, Johannes and Elke have added some personal details – always respecting the history of the house. The family felt at home in the villa from the very first moment. "It felt as if the house was saying: ‘Great, you’re back…welcome!’ And we still have this feeling", Johannes says. The atmosphere of the villa changes according…

Matador is one of the most beloved TV shows in Denmark. It was first aired from 1978 to 1982. The show takes place in the fictive Danish provincial town of Korsbæk and depicts life amongst the inhabitants of this town from 1929 to 1947. Using drama, humor and warmheartedness, the show describes the relationship between various classes of society, historical events and personal ambitions. The characters have turned into national icons and include everything from the ambitious business man, Mads Skjern, to the stylish wife of the local bank manager, Maude Varnæs. The TV show is both a portrait of a time period and a universal picture of human relations, and it has turned into a classic which is both loved and revisited today. The event is organized by the…

Tjitske and Teun live in a newly built rented house in Drachten where they’ve created a spacious and beautiful home featuring three bedrooms and a large bathroom. Their children have already flown the nest, so now their bedrooms are used as a guest room and an office. The focal point in the kitchen is the charming open shelving unit that Tjitske just loves. No matter what she places there, it always looks beautiful – including her collection of cream-colored stoneware. The small shelf depth contributes to creating an open and spacious feel in the room. This piece of furniture means something special to the couple because it was the first item that they bought together when they moved in with each other four years ago, and they’ll never sell it.…

From the esplanade in Callian you’ve got a fantastic view of the neighbor town of Montauroux, the Tanneron mountains and the beginning of Massif des Maures. Jessica Fort grew up in this enchanting landscape, surrounded by olive trees, mimosa flowers and Provence markets full of delicious foods. One Sunday, strolling through the cobblestone streets of the village, she spotted an old house with closed shutters which was up for sale. "We had just sold our house, and it happened so fast that we were taken by surprise. We urgently needed a new home." The apartment was located in an old building featuring one of the oldest doors in the village, right next to the beautiful village castle. It was livable but needed some serious renovation work. "The layout was tight…

Koen and Annet from Holland have always lived an active life. During a camping trip in Auvergne, they thought to themselves: "Would we be able to live here? What would we do?" They had been working for many years in Holland and had planned to do so for many years to come, but the idea of stepping out of their comfort zone was tempting. That’s how their journey towards a new life started. They wanted a peaceful life away from mass tourism but close to authenticity and rural idyll. The Auvergne region immediately caught their attention – especially the areas Allier and Puy de Dôme where people prefer slow living. The couple looked at several houses, but something was always off. One cold winter day, they drove out to look…

It turns out that he appreciates this style more and more because it creates a light, friendly and peaceful expression as a neutral backdrop for all his antiques.
