Our Alpine cabin
All of a sudden, I feel strangely attracted to the so called Alpine theme. I ran across this old print in a thriftshop and it already sorta conquered a place next to my bedstand. Don’t it’s colours match perfectly with the Studio Ditte wallpaper? Also, I never feel comfortable with hanging pictures half across wallpaper, but I don’t find that a huge problem with this fellow. Overall, I think this one’s a keeper. :-)
Because I’m so happy with my Alpine themed print, my Love wondered if I already had thought of a name for the stag on the picture. I had to come up with something (quickly!) and so I gave the stag the most goofy name that popped up in my head that same moment: Bert. (If you say “Bert het Hert” in Dutch, it even sounds more silly. And don’t ask why Bert was the first name that came up…I already feel sorry for our future children ;-)). Being the couple that has the most fun about the most silly things, Bert has become a recurring character in our jokes now: “I think Bert will not be happy with this” and “Be quit, Bert is trying to get some sleep”. Aah, the silly joy a 1 € find can bring!
Imagine you didn’t see the beauty of this amazing piece of art…then Bert was hanging al alone in that thriftstore…looking for a piece of wallpaper to be friends with…glad you saved him…
;-)
mmm i can understand that… it’s kinda wild & beautiful.
thea.

I think “Bert het Hert” likes the attention he gets from this blog. But he must not get too excited, last night I heard him mumbling something about an own Facebook profile…
Pim, your deer ehhh.. dear.
Wat gaaf hoe je het lijstje half over het behang hebt gehangen!
coming from one who has just called her camera ‘frankly Frank’ i am actually rather taken with the name Bert and indeed his splendid self upon your peachy wall…
you do find the most loveliest of wall art don’t you :)
Ik hou van Bert! ;)
Blij dat je hem hebt gered!
i love that you hung him half over the wallpaper. it’s brave and it works. i have a yellow coat called audrey. night night bert.
Thanks ladies, me and Bert are so very pleased with your kind comments (if we could, we’d frolic in fields of daisies together ;-)) !
I love Bert! And your blogposts too. They’re so much fun to read & make me happy. :)
