Collective Thinking, Belgian Style

September 10, 2012

The weekend was just as busy as I’d anticipated, possibly even more so, but our to-do list for the new store is slowly getting shorter. I think that I can actually say that we’ll be ready to open the doors on Saturday! And yes, I have had many doubtful moments along the way :) You can see a little sneak peek of the fun we had this weekend setting up over at Spruce Collective, if you’re curious, and I cannot wait to share the final reveal with you all far too very soon! Now, I must scurry off but I’ll leave you with some pics of this gorgeous gallery renovation in Antwerp, Belgium….

Designed by the Belgian firm Lens*Ass, this home combines a dwelling with gallery space for designer Valerie Traan. I am in love with that wall of windows which seamlessly brings the outdoors in! And the bright bursts of colour are pretty fantastic as well. What are you up to this week? Is it a busy one or are you getting back into the groove of things and settling into Fall? I’ll be back to chat with you on Wednesday :)

Congratulations Lily! It’s a shame I live in Canada and I can’t come and see the opening :/ My husband bought us a country cottage and I spent my summer browsing vintage furniture stores hoping to find some pieces. I wish I had a courage to open my own store. It must be exciting! Kay xxx

Thanks Kay! We’re in Canada too but it looks like we’re on opposite coasts :)

Lily, this is going to be a great shop – your sneak peek is a good sign! Now, as for this Belgian home, I could move right in. It’s so my cup of coffee. See you soon.

LOVE the dining room. But I would have a really hard time fighting the instinct to fill all those empty shelves up with stuff.
