An Artists haven in Netherlands!

I am always excited when I have a home tour for my readers. I think you will be as mesmerised by this home as I am :-) The lady of the house is Ingrid Jansen and she lives in this lovely house in Dordrecht, Netherlands with her husband Henk and two children. Ingrid is a lady with an incredible amount of talent. She runs a small business called Wood and Wool Stool. Ingrid also works  part time in a hotel in Dordrecht, where she does flower arrangements and works in the market there.

Ingrid weaves magic using wool and wood to create products that are both unique and beautiful!  I asked Ingrid to tell us about her company which she started in 2008.


In Ingrid's words " A few years ago I designed my first recycled wooden stool with a crocheted cover for my home. After some requests, I decided to make custom made stools for other people and that is how it all started. Since then I've made a lot of stools and designed several other interior products. The products are all handmade and they all have something to do with (recycled) wood, wool, crochet and color."

Fascinating......don't you think?  Ingrid is an avid photographer and that is obvious when you see the lovely images of her home. Her home is charming and delightful with a dreamy feel to it! Welcome to  Ingrid's colorful world......... 








One of the many fabulous stools..........I want one too :-)


You must visit her Etsy store to see more of her creations. Ingrid is also a fellow blogger and you can visit her blog here. Thank you so much Ingrid for welcoming us into your home.
