an atelier in ghent.

i recently came across the talents of a designer whose home i couldn’t resist sharing. isis, aka souvenirs du passé récent contributed some images of her Belgian studio & home in ghent to the sfgirlbybay flickr pool and i was instantly inspired. i’ve found myself really into neutrals, whites, and natural textures and isis’ home is full of stylish ideas i’d like to pull off in my own home, and she’s photographed them so beautifully, i think you really might like these small, detailed vignettes i created from isis’ images.

isis is a student of archeology, and she also has a line feminine and nostalgic of jewelry and homewares, which you can find in her ety shop Paper Flower Girl, created with a combination of new and vintage materials ranging from metal to fabric. Every ‘souvenirs du passé récent‘ created in isis’ studio is labeled, numbered and classified as if it were a museum object in a cabinet of curiosities.

isis finds herself currently kind of in-between homes, one, a two room student apartment in Belgium, with a shared kitchen and bathroom, and the other a home in Holland she and her boyfriend are currently renovating. isis promises to share that home with us when renovations are completed. in the meantime, i couldn’t wait and wanted to share some glimpses into corners of her beautiful Belgian apartment. for more about isis, check out her blog and more of her flickr photostream.
