Spend an Autumn weekend in your outbuilding or home extension

Hello to everyone! I know it’s already a week ago I wrote my last blogpost! I am so sorry for that, but it is a very busy period in business for me. I hope you will understand?!

Today I show you some images of the inside of beautiful outbuildings and home extensions!

AND AT THE END OF THIS POST, I HAVE A GORGEOUS VIDEO TO SHARE WITH YOU!!! I AM EXCITED ABOUT IT!!!

But before watching the video, I hope you will enjoy the images.

The outbuilding or home extension is one of the most wonderful places to relax, the enjoy the Autumn sun and beautiful fall colors! So, it is a nice place to spend an Autumn weekend.

Whether you love to be alone, reading a good book, or whether you love to invite friends for an Autumn meal, an outbuilding or home extension is a gorgeous place to enjoy your Autumn weekend.

Notice the Autumn sun falling in this room.

Even fall colored furniture.

So nice to have a fire place in your outbuilding.

Ready for your dinner with friends?

Beautiful fall colors.

AND NOW ABOUT THE PROMISED VIDEO !

I am sure that a lot you, my readers and blogfriends, will remember the images on below, seen in Veranda, a few years ago.

They are all of the gorgeous house of our Belgian couturier Edouard Vermeulen. His fashion label is called Natan.

The house is called the “Rozenhout” estate. It is an 18th century country house, or “gentilhommière, situated in a glorious parkland.

In close collaboration with the Belgian architect Raymond Rombouts, the original house was improved and a pavilion added.

Edouard Vermeulen - himself an interior designer before he made his name in the world of haute couture – took care of the interior decoration : a timeless and subtle color palette, in the same spirit of his exclusive collections.

This morning I watched the beautiful video of the house tour on a local TV station and I really wanted to share it with you!

It is a Dutch spoken video but you really don’t need to understand the Dutch language to enjoy this vido.

So, sit down, relax, click on the image below, open your computer on full screen and ENJOY !

I wish you all a fantastic Autumn weekend !!!

Some changes at my sister’s orangery

Some of you will remember some pictures from the orangery at my sister’s home, that I posted some time ago.

My sister wanted to go for a change in the orangery, because she was not so happy with the table you can see in the first pictures here.

So she asked me to look out for an antique table. Last year, when we were driving to the South of France, we made a stop in the charming town of antiques, Isle-sur-la-Sorgue. And …there she was,… the table I had in mind !! I took some pictures with my cell phone and sent them immediately to my sister. She loved the table! A few days later the table was delivered in Belgium.

The first 5 pictures are taken a while ago. You will notice the oak table my sister wanted to replace by an antique piece of furniture.

The bleeched oak table is moved into the garden now..

… and is beautifully weathered.

And this is the antique table I found last year at an antiques dealer in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.

The table has a teak top and a painted support. Isn’t it a gorgeous one?

Ok, we brought in that table and we both, my sister and I, realized that we also had to replace the chairs! So we did.

My sister has chosen for the French os-de-mouton chairs. They really are better to use here, because the legs of the former chairs were too fragile everytime you moved the chair on the brick floor.

The pictures on below I took last Sunday.

Please, forgive me the quality of my cell phone pictures!!

Because of the bad quality of the pictures, you are not able to see the real color of the upholstery fabric of the chairs.

The fabric is of a celadon colour and matches that well with the colour of the antique cabinet.

I couldn’t resist to post this picture of the beautiful French console at the orangery.

Do you love the changes we made at my sister’s orangery? I am sure my sister will love to read your comments!!

Daydreaming of an orangerie…

 

Aren’t you dreaming of an orangerie, a pavilion or a glasshouse  of your own?

Here are some exquisite examples which can make your day!!

When I visited the beautiful new website of the Belgian company Greensquare, I couldn’t withhold you from some of the images on their website!

This company is specialized in “first class” outbuildings and windows.

Greensquare is operating in Belgium and by way of partners, in a lot of European countries and even in the USA!!

 

Isn’t that a gorgeous outbuilding?

 

The inside of the building.

It would be so wonderful reading a book in this chair while sunshine is falling in!

 

Can you imagine…?

A pavilion for all your summer and winter parties !

 

I love the entrance of the pavilion.

 

 

Even used as a pool house.

 

 

Here is obtained a more contemporary look by adding this glasshouse.

Notice the mix : classic style of the house with the more comtemporary outbuilding.

If you want to fulfill your dream, don’t hesitate to contact this Belgian company HERE.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
