‘We moved from Antwerp to Kalmthout to have more green, quiet and space for our children. Kalmthout was a logical choice, because it is a beautiful village with a range of schools and you can get to the centre of Antwerp by train in half an hour. When we first moved here, a brass band played on the square and there were shells in the street, the little square in front of our door being a starting point of the Camino Santiago de Compostella.
We celebrated every birthday party here extensively. Then we put the giant island chock full of cakes, delicious! Whether we are having aperitifs, receiving guests, cooking or celebrating - the kitchen island really is the absolute centre of our home. Sooner or later, everyone always ends up around it, standing or sitting.
On the side terrace, it is nice to have breakfast in the morning sun. When the sun shines through the wonderful pink glass window in the morning, a beautiful glow shines into the kitchen.... Magnificent. We also like to open the industrial window on the terrace - that way, inside becomes outside, and vice versa. And the handy side entrance with parking is just super practical when you come home with groceries or other stuff... A beautiful and thoughtfully decorated house - it will be missed!’
