Which song would you say sums you up the best?

It has to be “Dancing Queen” by Abba.

What is the recipe for obtaining a colorful, yet balanced home?

Stick to a color scheme to a certain extent! We ended up choosing baby blue, baby pink and a dash of orange in the living room. Right now however I dream of having more brown and black leather. I think the contrast between cute and raw is a nice combination when it comes to interior.

What's the most interesting thing you can see out of your kitchen window?

There’s a large wall painting on the building across from my kitchen window. There’s a plexiglass art piece installed on it which gives the most beautiful shades of reflecting pink and orange light. We also have a company based in the yard below us that hosts parties all the time. It just gives such a fun and vibrant vibe.

What's your favourite thing about your job?
