Going Dutch / by Barbara de Vries,
Making space into place,
Dancing on water,
Listening to the dunes,
Lambs in the city,
Spinning wool into gold,
I am what I make,
Love on the Maas,
Reinventing the past,
Balancing the future,
Live, work, create,
Waste nothing,
The station masters,
Living in nature,
Van Gogh's neighbors

"A celebration of the innovative, artisanal, and endearingly playful style of modern Dutch living. The Netherlands is consistently voted as one of the nicest places to live on the planet. Its cozy homes and focus on sustainability and innovation contribute to it being seen as a shining example of how to live in the modern world. With a carefully curated collection of interiors, including small townhouses, modernist bungalows, and green houses, belonging to interior designers, product designers, architects, and artists, this book highlights the creativity and resourcefulness of Dutch living. These properties have been created or renovated and brought into the twenty-first century with typical Dutch style and sensibility-environmentally friendly, filled with color and charm, and never to be taken too seriously. Each home in the book reflects the personality and spirit of the people who inhabit them. From designer Piet Hein Eek's converted factory space in Eindhoven to artist Claudy Jongstra's farmhouse in Spannum where chamomile grows in the biodynamic garden, Coming Home illustrates fun ideas and easy ways to incorporate individual style into your surroundings. Whether it's the traditional "lowlands" esthetic of combining old and new, faded and inviting, into a casual chic or a quirky reinvention of a space that reveals a touch of eccentricity, this book illustrates why the Netherlands is truly loved by so many and can be an inspiration to us all"-- Provided by publisher.
