We are visiting Demy. She lives with Hilko and their cat Boelie in an old converted farmhouse from 1947 in the Wilgen. And believe us, you want to see this!
INTERIOR AS A BIG HOBBY
Everything looks great in this farm. And Demy made those choices herself, as she explains. “It really is my hobby to work on this. In addition to my job, I spend a lot of time working on interior design. During Corona I created an Instagram page and spent a lot of time on it. That's actually how this hobby came about.” There are also quite a few hours spent in the house itself. “Our farm dates from before 1947. Unfortunately, it was partly bombed and rebuilt after 1947. We bought the farm in 2019 and spent a year renovating it. Fortunately with the help of friends and family.”
CORNER SOFA VICTORIA WITH AN ACTIVE SITTING AND FOR LOUNKING
“We bought the sofa at Room108 Amsterdam, but I heard that a shop has just opened in Leeuwarden. That would have been a lot closer”, laughs Demy. The Room108 corner sofa is displayed in the middle of the living room of Demy's farmhouse Victoria in Lund Natural. “A real sofa that still looks sleek. We did order extra lumbar pillows. That is not standard with the Victoria, but we liked it. This way we can create both an active and a lounge seat in our sofa.”
Demy regularly receives compliments about her Victoria sofa. “Of course, the sofa often comes up on my Instagram channel and I get nice questions and comments about it.”
MODERN FARMHOUSE WITH PRESERVATION OF THE PAST
Despite the modern and hotel chic decor and atmosphere have also retained old elements of the farmhouse. “Think of the four wooden trusses in the living room and the old barn door that we have kept. In addition, the windows with rods in them.”
Looking to the future, Demy still has a few wishes. “The entire roof needs to be replaced. Black roof tiles instead of red. And maybe the outer facade will be whitened one day.” We believe that it will also be beautiful outside! Would you like to see more of this beautiful farmhouse?
