The festivals you need to attend in 2025
Summer in Amsterdam is the BEST! A few (okay: a lot) of my personal favorites below and feel free to drop your own - maybe I forgot or - even better - I have something new to do next week!
The corner of @kikkie.amsterdam (and @tweeprinsen, a bit of a cliché but still fun), @vesselamsterdam (also for swimming!), @remeilandrestaurant and @ferryamsterdam_, the terrace of @restaurantdemark (open again on May 7), @cafemarcella and @cafecafe.amsterdam.
The garden of @pulitzer.amsterdam and always Westerpark (hello @cantine_de_caron), and for a real dining experience on the terrace I think @tannay.amsterdam is unsurpassed.
Actually everything in the North with the highlights:
@stretchandfoldstudio, @helling_7, @cafesoleilamsterdam and the Mandela House and @sans.noord (formerly Pompet) in the Noorderpark.
For swimming, always go to the Marineterrein (I don't think it's allowed, oops) and every boat or fountain in the city.
And so, more and more things are 'finished' in the house, and we have been sitting at this beautiful (if I may say so myself) dining table for a few weeks now.
By the way, that table is from @table_du_sud: because we already have so much wood in our house (we also want big wooden doors; those are coming, someday), we didn't want a wooden table. This white concrete look table with round edges (I really like the softer look, and it's ideal with kids running around) was immediately on my wishlist and to be honest: it turns out even better than I had hoped.

May vacation is here! (Also) exploring the Netherlands again these days, and so we thought it was time for @diergaardeblijdorp again: great fun and the kids (and us too) were very impressed (especially by the underwater world: real sharks above your head!)
Tip from Flip: until May 11th you can get a 20% discount on your tickets with the code proeftocht20.

Are we done yet? Are we ever? Nah. But I'm done for now ;)
Oh! Don't let this picture fool you: off-screen on the left is a new fridge (can't wait!), the (gorgeous!) Falcon stove doesn't work yet (not enough power), off-screen on the right is a hole where a bench will go and we're going for a more modest runner on the floor (this one fits better upstairs and the deal was relative peace downstairs, color-color-pink-color-pink-color upstairs). 💁🏼♀️
But are we happy yet? Really! In love with the enormous wall of dark green natural stone by @janreeknatuursteen, with the fireplace by @warmtestore_haardenspecialist (and with the tiles on the fireplace via @sanitairwinkel) and with all the custom work by @pim_interieurbouw.
Not unimportant: all credits about the location of the kitchen (I actually thought of it on the other side) and the idea go to @eveneleveninteriors!

From January to April/May it's 'Hellup where are we going this (summer) vacation?!'-period. My favorite ;)
In the category 'out of the box': in this caravan on a (chic) campsite in Ramatuelle (South of France) we already celebrated the best holiday three times. Last time I checked (last week!) there was still room in May, the first week of July, and from mid-August. You can book via @stellawilling.
(And on BartsBoekje.com there is, if I may say so, a wonderful list of tips for the South of France. Just type Ramatuelle into the search bar and you're there)
