The one with the painting of the stairs



Last sunday a big flight of stairs in our city got a make-over. There are plans for a renovation, but until then, they are looking happy and colourful. Painted in the colours of the rainbow, by lots of volunteers.


 

The pictures where there's still painting going on are taken by me, the last picture was taken from this website. A timelapse video can be found over here.

The one with a visit to an old factory

A couple of weeks ago my mom and I had a little field trip to the former Honig factory in our hometown Nijmegen. It was my moms first visit and I went there last year. In case you're interested, I did a post about it here. Back in the days it was a factory where ingredients for soups were made and since the factory closed down, it became a 'cultural hotspot'.



Nowadays it houses lots of small (creative) businesses. There's an art gallery, a brewery, parties are being held, music is made and if all this makes you hungry, no problemo, there's food too! I love old industrials buildings like this, so I apologize for how picture heavy this post is. It's right up my alley, with cool details and pretty street art. And yes, I even managed to squeeze in a door ;-)





Still not quite sure how I feel about these bird printed leggings. I get them over three years ago, and I think this was the second time I wore them. But life is too short to wear boring clothes, right?




 Love these colours and textures!


And last but not least, a door!

We also had coffee (accompanied by something sweet) over at the factory, but I think I'll share those photo's in seperate post. If you made it this far, I hope you liked these photo's, I may have gone a bit wild with my camera...

The one with the things I liked this week (111)



Took a walk with mom last friday to an old factory, on our way we came across this

And this. More about our 'adventure' next week

Makes me want to bake something

Lots and lots of eggs

 Getting supplies for a new DIY-project

 Don't these look lovely?

My hometown's soccer club won their match last friday, and by that, made it back to our countries top division again. Even the church was in on the celebration.

Hope you're having a wonderful Easter, enjoy the rest of the weekend!

The one with some things I came across on several walks and bikerides

Here are some pictures of things I came across last year, when walking or riding my bike. I believe all of these haven't appeared on the blog before, but are too good not to be shared. Hopefully they'll put a smile on your face. These discoveries sure made me laugh!

The one with the things I liked this week (92)


 Discovering two new works of art on the street, if the whole alphabet's 
there, there are many more to be found!



 These were a gift from mom, I didn't fall of Paige's no shopping challenge-wagon (yet)!

 Grocery shopping for a fondue-party. I know I could be making my own,
but the cheese from these packages are actually my favourite!

 Making, photographing, and listing new stuff for the shop

 After receiving new washi tapes for the brick and mortar shop, I decided to 
keep these for myself!

The one with the wall

A photo of this wall was already posted on this blog when I just started out. Last saturday I came across the wall again, and thought it deserved a post of its own. I love that has has been like this for at least one and a half years now, and no one has painted it over. Some of the graffiti throughout the city (even the good ones) have been painted over after a while, but somehow, this one managed to survive. This one definitely deserves to be there, and to be enjoyed.
