Pleasure in Arranging

by habituallychic

08 . 18 . 08

We have quite a few interesting books at work that we sometimes use for inspiration and one that I think is very beautiful is Joys of Life: How Geoffroy Van Hulle takes Pleasure in Arranging by Jo De Poorter. Geoffroy Van Hulle is a Belgian interior designer and kind of a hottie, see below. I love the description for the book, “The interior designer talks about the nature of his gift – the joy he creates in the houses and lives of his clients. He offers suggestions for enjoyable music and practical tips on interior design.” I look forward to following Van Hulle’s career. Who knows, he may be the next Axel Vervoordt.

    Wow, I don’t even like gray, but I could move into this place tomorrow, what an unbelieveable combination of styles and designs all arranged to create elegant, but comfortable calm, peaceful interiors. He is a master!

    The “Van” is lower case….. meaning from…. “von” meaning of

    I’m so glad everyone likes his work!

    Oh, and to Anonymous, the Van is capitalized on Van Hulle’s website, http://www.geoffroyvanhulle.be/about.html. So I think the “rule” isn’t always followed by everyone. But thanks for trying.
