How awesome is having a swing in your living room? That was my instant thought when I first saw the pictures of this cool and absolute-kids-friendly family house in Amsterdam. It's actually for rent through Kid & Coe. I didn't even know this site but minutes after browsing around I realised it's a family vacation rental paradise for modern family travel. As they mention: "we provide a carefully selected list of kid-friendly residences combined with curated insider guides. From child care essentials to coveted neighbourhood locations, we offer everything you need to make a home away from home for the whole family". I spotted a couple of beautiful summer retreats is Greece, too! I might present them to you in the near future! Enjoy!

'Sukha means 'joy of life' in Sanskrit, the language of the Buddhist monks in India and Nepal. Sukha simply is, a bundle of joy!' This is how Irene Mertens, Sukha's owner, welcomes you into the online version of her concept store. This white, simple, airy, whimsical warehouse in the heart of Amsterdam is an amazing place where you can find fashion items, books, accessories, presents and unique handmade products from Dutch designers. The interior total white loft space offers a great base for the product display. Both the decoration and the shop window change quite often but the off-white aesthetic is something that always stays. All the amazing illustrations and hand-lettering are by Barbara van den Berg; love the handpainted rug on the floor. If I ever had a store it would definitely look like Sukha!

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Hommie grows up and expands! It has already celebrated its first year and I am really proud of it! From now on we will have a new 'column' called Hommie visits and it will have posts of houses, shops, restaurants and other creatively interesting spaces to photograph and show them to you. So, the first Hommie visits travels you to the amazing Amsterdam, to the take-away cafe De Bakkerswinkel!
