A Belgian loft

 

This loft at the Belgian seaside, has the colors of the sea, all nuances that go from green to blue, grey to chalky white walls, colors of the foam created by waves. The place is decorated with beautiful antique furniture with an aged patina.

The loft was a former workshop and is now magically transformed into a cozy and charming dream home.

3Color nuances from green to blue.

 

17Notice the industrial lighting, referring to the former workshop.

 

5 Beautiful antique cabinet with gorgeous aged patina. I love the combination of the Dutch cabinet and the Swedish chairs.

 

28 Even a fireplace is present in this loft.

  6. You always find the most amazing spaces, Greet! And I can't wait for Brooke to see this-there are so many lovely little ideas here not to mention the big picture. I am so crazy for the kitchen floor tiles especially, what a funky mix and that bathroom is just lovely. I will have to come back and look at this again later, it is too much to take in at once. :)
    Bisous,
    Heather

  7. I LOVED IT!!!!! There is something distinct about Belgian design and different from French; there is a rustic and even OLDER look that I cannot quite describe, but I JUST HAVE TO IMPLEMENT this into my home. That DUTCH cabinet in the light blueish patina is JUST GORGEOUS and the kitchen, OH GREET! LOVE YOUR BLOG!

    Enjoy your day dear one and kiss Mango on the nose!!! Anita

  8. Greet...All I can say is WOW. There is so much to love about this space. I can only imagine the beautiful sunlight that illuminates these wide open spaces. Love the taxidermy in the kitchen and that whimsical little statue reaching into the open shower. The antiques, especially the Dutch cabinet, are perfection.

    It's always a pleasure to visit Belgian Pearls! XO - Allison

  13. Dear Greet, what a magical place.... I adore the colors and textures. The upstairs bedroom is one of my favorites. And the kitchen, absolutely beautiful.
    I just would forgo the hanging ducks ...
    But then, I am not a hunter.

  17. What a fantastic space. Lovely, soft dusty Belgian. Gorgeous.
    The only bit I have a bit of a problem with is the massive amount of taxidermy. Dusty old stuffed dead bodies in the kitchen? I don´t know. Doesn´t really sit right. Maybe if you kept then well dusted...they do look cool.
    I loved Pieter Porters fantastic booth at the most recent Maison et Objet exhibition. He uses taxidermy in an amazingly beautiful way.Like statement flowers in floral arrangements (well, he was originally a florist, wasn´t he?), but I still have this nagging in the back of my mind...it´s a dead body...it´s a dead body.
    In a display - love it. In my home - gosh, I just don´t know.
    I love your blog by the way.
    You have amazing eye.

  22. That is a very beautiful loft, I love the use of greens and blues along with the natural linens and wood. I particularly love the brick walls in the bathroom.
    Gorgeous!!! You've done it again, dear lady, brought us a fabulous example of Belgian style.
    Hugs, Cindy

  28. J'adore cet espace très bien agencé et aménagé. La décoration est superbe (juste un bémol pour les tableaux). C'est exactement le lieu que je rêve d'habiter. Question : coment font-ils pour prendre les buches si haut ?
    Bravo, c'est vraiment très inspirant.
