On our second day we took our rental bikes and drove up to Scheveningen. The weather was on our side so the day couldn’t be more beautiful. We stopped a few times to check out the very-very-very beautiful houses in the streets near Madurodam.

Once we arrived at the beach my companion wanted to eat an ice-cream and have a walk on the beach.

I can’t really recommend Scheveningen ‘beach’ because it has a little bit of a ‘to commercial’ vibe for me personally but hey, we can’t complain. The sun was on our side so everything was perfect anyway. :)

On our way back to the main street we grabbed a bite in a Mcdonalds. (Not my personal favourite but since this weekend was all about my lovely godchild she could pick the lunch this time! )

The Hague really has a variety of different food hotspots, since we were here only for 2 days we checked out 2 different locations.

The first one was ‘Frites Atelier Amsterdam’, well yeah …we’re flemish and we know better when it comes to ‘Vlaamse Friet’. But Sergio changed the ‘style’ of eating chips. And we must say they are very -YUMMIE-.

The second one was ‘The Pasta Kantine’, a dutch pasta concept with a beautiful interior & located on a lovely location in The Hague. (Prins Hendrikplein). You can order all ‘original’ pasta’s here ‘normal’ or glutenfree. And they do an extra efford to prepare everything with bio products. (A win-win situation they call this I believe!)

On a very windy-day we decided to go to ‘Brielle’ a cosy village near Den Haag in the Netherlands. Our plan for today? Finding the right colors to make the Lily office chandelier shine bright like a diamond. (Whoop whoop!) :-)

A few months ago the very talented and oh so lovely people of the Lily shop & webshop in Mechelen came to us because they wanted to add some My ex boyfriend sparkle (Did I really just said that? :)) to their office space. They asked for some interior design help in 3 rooms. And we started working on their mayor office room. (’The photoshootroom’ & the ‘thisiswheretheladybossmagichappens-headoffice’ are in a state of ‘coming soon’…)

We named the room ‘The family office’. They had different desks and asked for a solution to make the office look a little bit more professional, creative and aligned. We decided to design an XXL desk in polish pine. All the ‘regular’ employees have their steady place but interns and freelancers can co-work on the big table. (Pictures are coming soon/ I promise!) They didn’t want to throw away their desks (Ecological as they are!) so we designed a table that could be placed upon the ‘old’ desks.

Besides this we decided to create a cork wall for some real-time Pinteresting-moadboards, a green plant-wall and a massive ‘playfull’ chandelier created with all these different Snowpuppe Moth, Moth Xl & Chestnut lights for right above their massive desk to create an impressive but still ‘light’ & welcoming feeling.

Today we chose a variation of all the different colors & shapes (they have so many different shapes, sizes & colors available - C-C-C Crazyyy!)
And since we were their we decided to use them in our permanent Myexboyfriendstore to. So expect some Snowpuppe magic in our new store! :)
