The first “clayed” sheep…

Every two years people can admire the carpet of flowers on the Grand Place in Brussels . This year, 700,000 begonias form the largest tapestry of a Savonnerie carpet in the world: a tribute to the French presidency of the European Union.

Since 1971, it is the 16th carpet of flowers on the Grand Place in Brussels . In recent years, the flower carpet has become one of the biggest attractions of Brussels . This year, the flower carpet designed by floral architect Mark Schautteet is inspired by the tapestry of the French Savonnerie, which dates from the 17th century. 700,000 begonias form a colourfum motif on which appears the patron saint Saint-Michel and the iris of the Brussels Region. One hundred volunteers have brought flowers on the Grand Place. For the floral carpet of flowers to be perfect, the design is fully represented in size on a transparent plastic perforated to create a micro-humid climate which must keep flowers fresh and colorful. The official opening will be accompanied by music created specially for the occasion by the composer Gregory Dune.

I would even consider taking a holiday in Brussels just to see this amazing floral expo – if only the flights were cheaper!

I got this collection of amazing staircases on an e-mail, and couldn’t resist sharing them.
I would LOVE to have some of these in my home!! (Specially the ones with storage space!)
Though I must admit that the psychedelic would probably give me a migraine.

Sometimes I come accross some really interesting artwork, and though they’re usually quite useless, its still amusing to look at…

Today, however, I managed to find a more useful piece of art…

I’m always intrigued by art, and would love to buy some nice paintings for the new house. I’ve often looked at the paintings in local galleries, and I’ve imagined a hundred different themes for our house.

If you have that same passion for good quality art, have a look at Park West Art Gallery. They have truely unique paintings that will brighten up any room, or house for that matter.

I had some art classes when I was in high school, and I would actually love to paint things myself – for our home. I just lack the guts to start. One day when I’m a ’stay at home mom’ I might do just that!
