Remember this post? The result is shown above. I was very surprised myself, I only helped with the stripes and didn't see the shoot.It's always so nice to see what Frank does with space and colour. And I also think Elle Decor made beautiful spreads.
Photography is from Karin Nussbaumer.

work in progress at IJM

These last days I helped Frank and his team making a new set. It will be used for a Dutch magazine. If it's published I'll show you.

We covered a wall and a bookshelf with paper. The result is always so nice. The wallpaper glue adds a nice touch to the paper and changes the colour slightly.

The paper and the soft colours made the whole room feel very calm. Wonderful to work in on a hot day like yesterday.

More images in my next two posts.

Don't know why I didn't show you more pictures of IJM when I started to work in my new studio. I'm planning to share more from now on. It's such a great place to go to for work.

beautiful coincidences at IJM

IJM at de Hartenstraat

Last week I helped Frank at the temporary IJM pop-up store in the Hartenstraat. This week Karin will be taking pictures of the apartment behind the shop.
If possible I'll show you how it turned out.

(we made this striped wallpaper from paper which is normally used to cover books. The colours looked wonderful, much more intense than if we had used paint.)

IJM Colour-Spots

Last Friday we went to the opening of the temporary shop/ showroom from IJM Colour-Spots in the Hartenstraat (one of the nine streets) in Amsterdam. It was a wonderful evening, nice people and good food (from Marlein). The building is amazing, the shop is downstairs, but if you walk to the back a staircase leads you to many more rooms, even an attic (not open to public). I was amazed the first time I was there. It felt a little bit like a treasury box, behind each door there was another room. For the opening IJM decorated each room, showing the different colours and combinations of paint.

It's open for public till the end of May. you can find more information here

Milk + Lemonade

Yesterday we went to the opening of a new kids store in Osdorp, Amsterdam: Milk + Lemonade.
Frank and his team from IJM made and designed the entire interior. The result is a wonderful shop with beautiful colours, displays and surprises.
Very worthwhile visiting when you live in Amsterdam. It's an IJM world.

(I didn't participate in this project, only made some garlands, not shown on the pictures.)
