  • I had intended this week’s vlog to be short, having been away and enjoying the Hague but now I can see that’s not the case at all! And it’s good! Be prepared for tears early on as we hear the heart rendering story of Pavlo, an artist who produced sculptures from sea rock of the Crimea, at a time of peace in Ukraine. We also get to visit Vanessa’s Interior Design studio at the incredible De Twee Pauwen art gallery just a few yards from the palace of the king and queen of The Netherlands, not to mention discovering some fine antiques, wine and cocktails in Holland! And to complete today’s vlog, we are at last back at the Magical Modernist Mansion with Ollie to enjoy the delights of the Fiesta Major of Sant Pere de Ribes.
    In today's episode:
    Art made in the Ukraine
    Vanessa's Interior design studio
    King and Queen of The Netherlands
    Wine and antiques shopping
    Signature family cocktail
    And home for the Fiesta Major!
    An enormous thank you to all our Patreons for supporting our project!

    This has got to be my favourite vlog thus far. I just love how Camila interviews people, with genuine enthuisiasm which gets them to reveal so much. Thank you for taking us through this little part of the Hague.

    Was anyone else experiencing the video repeating sections over and over again? Was it just my experience? The artwork from Ukraine was so beautiful. And statement pieces....
    The design shop.
    The wine shop.
    The antique shop.
    Exquisite.

    Your interview with the Ukrainian sculptor was heart wrenching. Sadly will that beautiful country and its people ever be the same again? I like how you filmed each antique piece slowly and with such precise description. You picked pieces that were exquisite. Your modernist mansion seems to be in the centre of great festival activity. Such a bonus to live at the center of all the parades, music and dancing.

    So much beauty in one vlog, I don't even know what to comment on first. The Ukrainian artist, your sister Vanessa's beautiful designs, the brocante - wow! A sum it all up with a party. Those parade puppets were something else.

    Camilla, Congratulations on a wonderful interview. The Gallery Owner was very sensitive to the possible views of others. The Artist and lovely translator were terrific. The origin story of his pieces determined by nature was so interesting. I commend him for continuing to produce lovely art, while the land was/is in upheaval.
    Then, you treated us to the gorgeous interiors atelier. The alabaster light was simple and spectacular. The larger of the round cushion I’d use for a footstool. Everything was so well displayed. It wasn’t crammed in, so possible to see so many spectacular pieces.
    So happy to take in your tour. Thank you🥰

    I really love your vlogs: I get something out of them about history, art, special and beautiful places to go. I like the respect you give to shop owners asking them, whether you may film.
    It makes me wanting to visit these places. I find it very informative, that Camilla shows us the brochante/antique shop and talks about age and prices of the furniture. I say, very well done. First choice to watch out of my abos.

    This was very interesting and the artist’s story was very moving. I absolutely loved Nessy’s studio and all of the lovely items in it. The art work on the walls was right up my alley. You are so unbelievably lucky to have so many wonderful events right there on the square! There may have been some impressive dragons in the parade, but I am certain that the people at the event would have been awed by the ones welcoming guests into your home.

    I love the Netherlands (made up from 11 small 'countries') and used to go there every year. My sister used to live in Rotterdam and on visiting her we visited the Hague and Delft and Amsterdam. One of my best friends is from Zeeland and I used to stay with him in Amsterdam every year, usually when the canals were frozen! Funny story when he moved to Eindhoven I went to stay with him and he wasn't at the station to meet me and not having his adress or phone (pre mobile phone) I had to wait unti after work to call my BF and ask for it. I began walking around to pass the time and chose one direction because it looked prettier and after about an hour I walked down a pretty street and stopped outside a house and out came my friends little brother ! I had accidentally found his house and Eindhoven is BIG !

    @edwardulrich1515 Před 11 měsíci +3

    I enjoyed the art and the Ukrainian artist's backstory.
    St. Germaine liquor is exceptional, but a bit expensive, so I opt for St. Ides at half the price, but just as good and a definite cost saver in a cocktail. St. Ides comes in grapefruit and blood orange in addition to the original elderberry.
    I love the MMM location with all of the festivals just outside your entrance. 🎉

    Nothing to do with this Vlog but I thought I’d share something I just recently read about. I tried it before telling you. This is in regards to your pigeon problem. What I tried really works. Spray WD-40 where they like to perch - they hate the smell. I presume one has to do a repeat spray but I liked this solution as it was so easy. They flapped about but didn’t settle and after a few days I think they got the idea!

    Hola Camilla and Ollie, Camilla, my heart breaks for Ukraine, the pictures you inserted are just beautiful. I pray peace will come soon to the beautiful people of Ukraine. I love the 650 euros, chandelier better than the 3800 euros, and it's not the price, it's the chandelier, it is so beautiful. Almost like less is more. It reminds me of a Murano. I am so happy, you said the upholstered chairs were in good shape, I love the sage green color, (that is the color that came a crossed my computer) so if I am wrong, I thought they were beautiful as they are. Ollie looked like he was having a blast at home. Thank you, Camilla for our Netherlands outing, it was a real treat. love from N.Y.

    I love to see you out and about... But also would love to see both of you renovating.. floors, woodwork.. kitchen, baderum.. Garten... You are a great team... Believe in your idea's not only reply on experts 👍🤗
    I think your friend Stephanie is making a mistake at the moment... talking about akitekts/ and so on.. no filming day to day work.. only before and after..
    Daily renovation, repair is often what people want to see..
    Most people following you are people looking forward to seeing what you personally will and can do...
    Not what an Expert can and would do..
    Looks forward to following you.. hoping to help you on Patreon later on😊

    Hi Camilla & Ollie, Loved the tour of The Hague and especially the hotels and the brocante. Though the crystal chandelier was quite expensive the mirrors was definitely affordable. I did like the bronze deco looking chandelier, a good possibility for your Mansion. Of course, any antique shop or brocante holds great interest for me. Mark & Scott

    This is not the residence of the King but he works here. This is Noordeinde palace. He lives with his family in the Huis ten Bosch palace which is located outside Den Haag in a wooden area. None of the reigning monarchs lived in Noordeinde palace. And in the evening most residents close their curtains except if you live very high up.
