Leuk, creatief, kleurrijk maar echt niet mijn smaak, haha. Het was vaak zo fel/te chaotisch.

I fell in love with the book cover and more with the designs featured inside. I really loved the fact that she was not afraid to use bold patterns and bright colors in classic themed interiors. The combination of lively hues and distinct patterns in her works were well played and gave interiors a contemporary/chic appeal on a classic setting. It looked timeless. Although most of her designs are geared to the feminine market, it is something everyone can appreciate.

interesting transition into a more layered style like her past. Done in a more modern way though with a touch of French loopiness. Fun
