I have this feeling that Carolien never sits still. From here to there. Lots of recordings, party here, opening there, then another photoshoot and also leading the renovation of her new house every day. And what will it all be sooo beautiful. Carolien takes you along in her week.

Last week the recordings started again for the new series ‘Zwarte Tulp’. I really missed my ‘family’ a bit... But luckily the recordings will last until December!

For our house, I am looking for a nice photo to hang as ‘artwork’ in the kitchen. Advantage: over the years I have been able to experience amazing photoshoots that sometimes produced small pieces of art. Like this beautiful photo: taken by Roger Neve for Park Magazine. This could very well be it!

I love fake fur! With that drizzly, cold weather, I always wear a hat and scarf on the bike. This dark blue example is from Monki and is super comfy.

This morning I dared to try a new breakfast: chia pudding with coconut milk. Ideal if you have little time in the morning: the night before you put 2 tablespoons of chia seeds and 200ml of almond or coconut milk in a small glass. Then you cover it with foil, let it set overnight in the fridge and... voila! Your super healthy breakfast is ready-to-eat the next morning.

Our little palace is slowly but surely becoming ‘finished’. Today they are busy with the tiles in the bathroom. We chose a beautiful matte tile from Silestone in the color ‘Ensui’.
