Very impressive. The two portraits hung near the corner over by the
desk: were those painted by the same artist?

Nice photos, very authentic looking!

The kitchen photos also on that webpage are striking: Is this still your house or another house?

Wow! Just one question: Where did you get the time machine?;)

No serious, that's great stuff. I simply love the coach!

Cheers!
That style is called Amsterdam school, or Amsterdamse school, its a socialist idea of creating nice looking furniture for the poor.
They had some amazing architecture as well, have a look for it on google, you wont believe your eyes!

The radio I have is attached to 4 mp3 players, so when you turn it on and turn the knob you can listen to 1930s broadcasts that are on a continues loop.
I can listen to radio Hilversum, Berlin, radio France and of course the BBC.
I use the radiofiles I make myself for that.

Thats another house my company offers films, tv etc, as a location for shooting.
That house hasnt been changed much although there are lots of modern things in it here and there.

Yes, I wear my vintage clothes every day so im quite well known in my neighbourhood.
One day some people told me they were clearing out their old aunts house, she used to be a painter.
I was invited in and could take whatever I wanted to have.
Most of the paintings in my house were made by her.

It's a really marvelous home, Miss!

Now, if you don't mind me asking, what does "Wie Wat Waar?" and "N?? zelf Jam maken met Opekta" mean?

"Wie Wat Waar?" = Who, What, Where?
A little book with information, adresses, telephonenumbers, etc, etc.
Very handy.

"N?? zelf Jam maken met Opekta" = Now make your own jam with Opekta.
Its a advertisement from the company run by Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank.

Those photos are amazing, thank you for posting them.

And that radio is stunning! How did you ever hook 4 mp3 players to it and have the knob switch between them?
