As all paint work is finished, last week I started redecorating. If you missed my earlier blogposts about this home redo, please click <a href="http://belgianpearls.blogspot.be/2015/10/working-on-well-worn-part.html"><em>here</em></a> and <a href="http://belgianpearls.blogspot.be/2015/11/house-redo-part-ii.html"><em>here</em></a>.</p> <p align="center">Yesterday, I spent the entire day working on the decoration and tried to combine new decorative items with accessories present in this home. As the home owners collected beautiful furniture over the past years, there was no need to replace furnishings, only a few seats need to be reupholstered.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim1zB4XFTk4n3mWXBSvmyJPmX5q2HUVr6i5rFiabZT5b9lt8vK40RDPfOjbSax6zfKQ-3Y-CxNaW2cg32rEVYhoeiJXMui-r35jlVq1VaqJ9D89f82ps7a6yKu52EJbt5YGz2QpIDLX4c/s1600-h/6%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img title="6" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="6" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYQ0a905X1tt78_of1j89b1Rj1apbUw6UpBXhvTfhPgWk2G-Z8gRLnH_eJE0TVhDq49WK9Yr_Hl9MaEQfIQ0gunOVATBDdXSwhktl7WJLeN7gXsdRHd48gSb3cyM4-W6QSTe54lqr7SUQ/?imgmax=800" width="650" height="743"></a></p> <p align="center">You doesn’t always need to look for expensive items to create a certain atmosphere.

In collaboration with <a href="http://www.dankers.be/"><em>Dankers Decor</em></a>, the Belgium based artisanal painting company, we try to give a ‘well-worn’ look to some of the rooms of a client’s home.</p> <p align="center">If you missed this post and if you might be interested in reading about the start of this project, please click <a href="http://belgianpearls.blogspot.be/2015/10/working-on-well-worn-part.html">HERE</a>.</p> <p align="center">After several weeks of intensive work, the painters have done a great job to add that missing ‘well-worn’ part to the rooms by using artisanal mural paintings and wall finishes.

It was such a pleasant surprise to learn that Sabine is also Belgian but she has lived for over 25 years in London. We communicated for a while via email and exchanged our thoughts about interior design and art related issues. <p align="center"> When we finally met face to face at the beginning of January this year, it felt as if we had known each other for years! We were talking nineteen to the dozen about our mutual interests and many passions and at the end of the day we realized we had been talking non-stop for 15 hours (yes it is possible!) <p align="center">Today I am delighted to introduce you to Sabine. <p align="center"> <p align="center">Sabine was born in Belgium and grew up in Flanders. She recalls her passion for design and interiors since early childhood. When she was just ten years old she vividly recollects how fascinated she was when visiting the house of her best friend whose father was an architect and her mother an art collector. This early confrontation with beautiful architecture and Art influenced the rest of Sabine’s life as well as her choice of academic studies but instead of studying Interior Design and Architecture she choose to read History of Art at university. She obtained a M.A in “History of Art, Archaeology and Ancient Civilisations”, a B.A in ““History of Art: Byzantine Art to Modern Art” and a PhD in “Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology”. Whilst at university she travelled all over Europe, to Russia, Latin America and the Middle East where she participated in archaeological digs, she also travelled on numerous occasions through Africa in the 1980’s to conduct the necessary research for the completion of her thesis. <p align="center"> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs_-KdxAwnfhcl-CaaWSkFkQAxqaeXDsuLe_0DdOsQr6D1gSmCm6-OAYI51jz9snbwSbYukmrBqxTRRmDbt1Lwm3zb5tCmS3qSu3yUMHdsilErjn4B-dHKmAGpqBMKNBmlisKwQv_TmWc/s1600-h/Sabine4.jpg"><img title="Sabine" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Sabine" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKxhEeCt5Yfc7lEf14HyZVLlmdhlwZpk_BDIuXQM8xdV2c4J5_aRkLQYB2o0xGzp_RUu_BbixZwGtcR2ht-amP-bF3G83cun6cm1rov7SRaIJT0FfYxmAA8ge5kB_vHK3v89JGZSvqZZE/?imgmax=800" width="300" height="444"></a>Sabine Naghdi <p align="center"> <p align="center">Soon after she graduated she moved to London and was hired by <a href="http://www.sothebys.com/">Sotheby’s</a>.

About what drove them to practice a certain craft, and the skills needed, about the trade itself. But also about their materials or tools, and the years gaining knowledge and experience. They learnt that artisan crafts definitely have a place in the economy and society. With the artists' continued passion as the driving force. And they won't stop until they have reached perfection. No compromises.</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">20 Belgian craftsmen and women, each with their own unique specialty, made by hand.</p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcipNsHCHfHN9oEC1fvXO7n1webCH2AWwpuk5WFWttfkEKy_D68e2Jc0Sjl5T65tWMNeCJVgrX6PsF7g0L7AeZ-anPeSFprIBjuZ53M3oD7XL02HU-Arv7WbLZEUSxHyuG8dRfw_6Pbe8/s1600-h/mosaic%252520%25252801%252529%25255B6%25255D.jpg"><img title="mosaic (01)" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="mosaic (01)" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9-fa4psCuNzF7EN2IJ8VD-LTo-5YBZiESl0Ia8yN9f-5LsyrEPpYLnonNhCyICHWXgDhyQBsj5u1eE9pK5FDhRHT4YBtvgCkxDclOZziAXYY0f3DoU0mkqO-QfzWN8mkNIJOUykgLu3Q/?imgmax=800" width="752" height="621"></a><font style="font-weight: normal"><strong>PATRICK DAMIAENS</strong>, Wood carving; <strong>JOHAN DE PUNT</strong>, Millwrighting; <strong>STEVEN & BRECHT</strong> <strong>DUJARDYN</strong>, Artisan ironwork; <strong>FANNY JEAN</strong>, Furniture upholstery & embellishments; <strong>LUC MESTDAGH</strong>, <strong>INGRID MEYVAERT & KATRIEN MESTDAGH</strong>, Stained glass windows; <strong>ANGEL</strong> <strong>BARRERO</strong>, Stucco marble & scagliola; <strong>DANIEL, ALAIN, JEAN-LUC, FABIENNE & LUDOVIC</strong> <strong>MENCHIOR</strong>, Plaster ornaments; <strong>CHRIS MAENE</strong>, Piano building; <strong>JAN DENIE & GREET LEFEVRE</strong>, Solid wood panelling; <strong>YVAN MAES DE WIT</strong>, Conservation of tapestries; <strong>LUCIA DEKNUDT</strong>, Lampshades; <strong>JIMMY DE CLERCQ & DIMITRI GINSBERG</strong>, Art foundry; <strong>PAUL & JAN VAN ACHTER</strong>, Copper pots and pans; <strong>FREDERIK KNOCKAERT</strong>, Art restoration; <strong>LUT DE PAEPE & FREDERIC</strong> <strong>POPPE</strong>, Gilt leather; <strong>BERT DE VYLDER</strong>, Organ building; <strong>WALTER QUIREYNS</strong>, Sculptures & stonemasonry; <strong>NINO TONDAT</strong>, Terrazo & intarsio; <strong>DIEDERIK WILLEM VANDERHEYDEN</strong>, Fine art paintings; <strong>RALPH BAGGALEY</strong>, Leather crafts</font></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghGyRO-CUvWT9LbGUzjlyrxO1CTdzPGApb8UsYqLN2gDZgPqHpvDgArh6X7Z7WPa8BMDLZ3jwl2Gn31n6iod7q9cJjAl00HZUE5wMj1DVS48ErBVWF7tMHXlPY3zoxe_4S82eYpjyejt4/s1600-h/Cover%252520Manufactum%252520EN-FR%25255B25%25255D.jpg"><img title="Cover Manufactum EN-FR" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Cover Manufactum EN-FR" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFUxPSZjCq4anv3ANVK4Yxxzxf_mRkw_B5ZEPNFlP52Acj_a93Mtn8Pq14WVZOA5HGqJRyoncJuqRUhuVdKJRnBGM6nZ5ZCR21IuCUd292xdt5-ozN0zAvij7gE_BiLYWq0bk3w73eyYs/?imgmax=800" width="520" height="520"></a><em>Cover </em>MANUFACTUM</p> <p align="center">The presentation of <strong>‘MANUFACTUM’</strong> took place Thursday December 11, in the unique historical building of <a href="http://www.dewit.be/">The Royal Manufacturers De Wit</a> in Mechelen, also featured in this book.</p> <p align="center">The Royal Manufacturers (founded in 1889) cleans, conserves and restores tapestries.

The houses in her movies all look fabulous, the kind of houses people dream about. Nancy is a director with a passion for decoration. For Nancy, the look of the movie is very important because she likes to define the characters in the movie through the places they choose to live. <em>‘A house tells you so much about a person.’</em>, Nancy explains. On each set Nancy works closely with set decorators and interior designers.</p> <p align="center">When I started blogging a few years ago, I discovered, on almost every interior design blog I visited, several pictures of the interior of the beach house in the Hamptons, the filming location of the movie ‘Something’s Gotta Give’.</p> <p align="center">Many people fell in love with this beach house and became obsessed with it. They wanted to incorporate the look of this house into their own home and designers were commissioned to design and to decorate their clients’ home inspired by this ‘SGG’ house. </p> <p align="center">Almost every decorator has at least one client who wants a room straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie, whether it’s the appealing kitchen in ‘Something’s Gotta Give’ or one of the bedrooms in ‘The Holiday’.</p> <p align="center">The table that was used in the SGG bedroom was found at <a href="http://www.rosetarlow.com/furni-detail.php?subcat=15&productID=69">Rose Tarlow</a> and a lot of people wanted that table to have in their home. It seems that they never stopped making it. It’s now called the “Something’s Gotta Give table”.</p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">‘Something’s Gotta Give’ : The beautiful beach house in the Hamptons with its timeless and Swedish influenced living room, soft toned dining room and appealing kitchen.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyciTERgip00704RawUCldAD4dJrzr-d-Va7QoVlTM3FtSOMHgY27COTaQRMsrg60UWf3V1c3F47OAiBalqQfXIuqF7sgH1-_RAxLIKgOjnWap1vvoisDM2Y-a3Y1chhwyrqS3YjxzX24/s1600-h/Something%252527s%252520Gotta%252520Give%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img title="Something's Gotta Give" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Something's Gotta Give" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOYZLwPqB2aid0wYOZWcx-8TpjGJZ-BkMt5AAKVLxk7K3NXjB1xEfohVV-TrUrLhc4h6Ifo7GbElz58WS-w7n4rPUcCAzlNo_tXx6F4Izekk7_Zn7Is99dACtDk_OSmp-d-EqeiaKgUDM/?imgmax=800" width="652" height="462"></a><em><font size="2">Pictures source </font></em><a href="http://cotedetexas.blogspot.be/2008/07/beach-houses-series-4-hamptons-house.html"><em><font size="2">Cote de Texas</font></em></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcKMmrPcb-75cI8Q2M5Qz5vgKQXRjNtNdJSr5Cjhg8M6e_M4AqsMa-u_BsMTXZOUL6sG0mwXC55rCZudLkBi88XzILbzVxu1MGKMk8sCOFeZAGMMLo6d7TeA4tfm9PXtu9FaHo9DyNowk/s1600-h/SGG%252520Table%252520-%252520Rose%252520Tarlow%25255B14%25255D.jpg"><img title="SGG Table - Rose Tarlow" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="SGG Table - Rose Tarlow" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo4FgQiqKlMWQOFTbRYbQxCgTP-Z2Fmrm_k4EjQfYwsKKpIE6hDVhjoN-abOzT6JwEhY_f7S9uitPPct4mB-mRs4iYJjum-1xvozWwhyQZLIX4O2foAU7IVPshEhk1E581goiPRpBbXc4/?imgmax=800" width="652" height="224"></a><a href="http://www.rosetarlow.com/furni-detail.php?subcat=15&productID=69">Rose Tarlow “Something’s Gotta Give table”</a></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">‘The Holiday’ : California contemporary versus cozy Cotswold style.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijv3IBQrC31cHSg6ZqCdAzMSttobkgTYOiNMEi827FhneIZoef8qAFGYY1-HARIavBiOCpgDwjBGke6nVFcUkkG-dpDTXQIJDxReiCtQPCQfIfAVxmIFz04A81J48FN6d8sDPOLMaFAuk/s1600-h/The%252520Holiday%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img title="The Holiday" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="The Holiday" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiree6altYegYoT88PuObKEp2yMjX0zhiinLP6BWYq_dMpruYkaEsn7UZSL-8no5sNX4_K7Cxj1ELtjhnodCJJI_c_aDjFxlLwhyIZYfPGrgwk1jAO7TNmR9CcJZZYU_UBpdFrj30tR2mA/?imgmax=800" width="652" height="481"></a><em><font size="2">Pictures source </font></em><a href="http://cotedetexas.blogspot.be/2008/07/holiday-houses_15.html"><em><font size="2">Cote de Texas</font></em></a></p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center">‘It’s Complicated’ : The Santa Barbara house with its fabulous garden and cozy rooms.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG-9LYsiX7Qkt932mRcIybORXmQZ3hOgUbUz0FSuw3ggaXaONSuVbdgaoM3xzurC_TzmbQVcHR_G5dc4V8z3t3qJFW0PmYkN_woHH6xbJqjpakP-iIm1CsA-b6HcB9jUS6PO9BVrCam-4/s1600-h/It%252527s%252520Complicated%25255B15%25255D.jpg"><img title="It's Complicated" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="It's Complicated" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIIjgNTaFNN2Aw8cDDb9c46PS2b02b2dpMQYzYuBd6HvhQv92oNgPFTDhMS82Z2PhxM3bPRW_NaNmHZQiuddCTzByWMYkL1tbIC-6bKncX5IST015Iss3mAyTkYVOq9wssChZ3ZDaW85A/?imgmax=800" width="652" height="473"></a><em><font size="2">Pictures source </font></em><a href="http://cotedetexas.blogspot.be/2011/02/found-real-its-complicated-house.html"><em><font size="2">Cote de Texas</font></em></a></p> <p align="center">One of my favorite rooms is the beautiful dressed up living room in ‘It’s Complicated’.

I can’t believe that I am blogging for all these years now !</p> <p align="center">Five years ago, I opened up my free blogger template and posted my first blogpost. I had no idea what this virtual world would bring me. Five years later, I learned to know so many readers and blog colleagues. The already more than 500 posts I wrote, brought me so much joy and so many friends from around the world!</p> <p align="center">I sincerely thank you for the fine comments and emails, for being there, following Belgian Pearls from behind your screen. It is because of you that my blog Belgian Pearls, means something in this big blogger world.</p> <p align="center">I do hope you will understand that I really can’t find the time to reply all the emails I receive. I wished I could, but combining blogging and a full time job is not always that evident. </p> <p align="center">Please apologize my sometimes late reply on your email. And if you have not yet received an email back, please send me your question or inquiry a second time. I will try the best I can to answer you.</p> <p align="center">Sincerely thank you to all of you !</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbNoF1dJjDwQhfHA-aQ9NoO3deQmTU-Sw678s0CEj2-UlOwMxdChLMMOqyNUzhg9QGuzK9QjNoNcBgQsUFHQBav95auhwjoMFq7eDCLWOU-QiNwKuaNu3AfYrHi4-CTbaDKbT5ZYblEE0/s1600-h/Belgian%252520Pearls%2525205th%252520anniversary%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="Belgian Pearls 5th anniversary" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Belgian Pearls 5th anniversary" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUgqbO-jpAxpG7uZPPj3kGNftPRc8w_g4gGhyphenhyphenMBWPXmaVtZlv8238OYPOMQ7c-IVgMJ0pl_pcLukAiyyFw1C7Vaz1F7zhs1Cj8MkN54cdvqzHAfoNhuiIE2bTMjIrEF6MKPNA4jZFCuW0/?imgmax=800" width="450" height="537"></a></p> <p align="center">xx</p> Greet Lefèvrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01417048594754414357noreply@blogger.com21
