Insides: Miep Jukkema

Here are some beautiful pictures of Miep Jukkema's house scanned from Elle decor on NIBS' blog. I saw the second picture of her daybed a few years ago and loved it, so I was excited to get to see the rest of her home.

“I love old things. I like to be able to make them my own and be creative, whether it’s by changing a piece with new fabric or painting it. I also like to enter someone’s world, to be able to see the history of a piece.”

-Miep Jukkema, on her decorating style

An outside shot of Miep's beautiful home. It was constructed in 1930's by a carpenter in Holland

Meip thrifted most of her wall art and the daybed belonged to her parents.

Meip placed her desk in front of a large window so she always has a beautiful view of the forest.

Miep has done little to change the house since she bought it, all the original wood paneling is still intact

Miep's bedroom, while I normally don't like simplicity. I love this.

Good Stuff: Evi Lemberger

    

Here are some photos of Russian and Ukrainian interiors taken by Evi Lemberger. A majority of the photos are from my favorite project she has done, ein nichtort.

 ‘The project “ein nichtort- or the fairy tale of the galoshes of fortune” is a documentary project about the region Transcarpathia. Transcarpathia is a border region in the west of Ukraine, which underwent a lot of nationality changes within the 20^th century. The people of this area belonged within this time to six different countries such as Hungary, Czech Slovaia, Soviet Union, Hungary again and then Ukraine. Nowadays it has 90% unemployment, is highly multilingual, – national and – religious and in no sense connected to the Ukrainian government. I went there in order to explore the peoples’ identity within their loss of national and cultural identity. ’ -Evi Lemberger

WOI: Cyprus

Photographs of Chrysoula Acilleou and Achilleas Savva's home in Droushia, Cyprus.

These photos are from a project Simon Brown and Nadia Mark worked on in Cyprus. Ever since I saw them in the World of Interiors I've been stalking Simon's blog for information on the exhibit.
