If wallpaper is removed properly, you can apply a new wallpaper on that same wall. Pasting the wallpaper over the previous one is not a good idea, because then there is a good chance that the new wallpaper will come off. Substrate It is important to look at the substrate. “There are many types, but…

Recipe of the day: Fine lentils and celeriac salad
The philosophy is that beans require far fewer raw materials from nature than meat and can still be as good as a meat substitute. Personally, I think meat has had its day every day. If meat, then good meat, and furthermore deliciously experimenting with other flavors. This recipe, for example. With threaded liners. That’s those…
“There was a scorpion on my slipper!”
Most beautiful memory Two years ago during a holiday in Suriname with my friend Rens. Our holiday was full of special moments, but one of my best memories was the visit to the beautiful Bergendal Eco Resort. We stayed here in a kind of luxury tree house in the middle of the tropical rainforest. Experiencing…
That way you know exactly how you are doing financially
1) How much money is there in your checking account? If I ask you now, do you know? Are you completely wrong? Then make it a habit to check your balance and view your debits every day. It gives you so much more insight into your expenses and the state of affairs. 2) How much…
Dode Hond and Razende Bol: the (un) inhabited islands of the Netherlands
The Razende Bol Of course we know the large Wadden Islands. The uninhabited Noorderhaaks, also known as De Razende Bol, is the first of more than fifty of these islands. Actually, it is more of an oversized sandbar that has been allowed to call itself an island since 2003. It doesn’t have a real permanent…
Household expert Zamarra: This is the correct frequency for the laundry
I regularly get questions about how often things should be washed in the washing machine. For example, I recommend washing bed linen at least every two weeks, or weekly if you perspire a lot. Pillows and duvets absorb quite a bit of perspiration and are therefore an attractive place for dust mites. Washing every six…
Cookbook tested: Ronald Giphart’s curry (+ recipe!)
The world at home is one of those books you leaf through to see what’s on the table tonight and then suddenly it’s an hour later and you haven’t cooked anything. No wonder, because it belongs to writer Ronald Giphart and his wife Mascha Lammes. In the cookbook they bring back fond memories of all…
Lodewijk Hoekstra and his love for living gardens
Partly due to Corona and the fact that people are increasingly staying at home for longer, greenery and the natural living environment are becoming increasingly important. The sale of plants in garden centers is breaking records, people are increasingly taking walks in the forest and parks and green spaces are increasingly appreciated. Because climate change…
The Dutch prefer to hibernate here
Many Dutch people spend the winter in Southern Europe. In Spain, for example, no fewer than 78,551 Dutch citizens were registered in 2019. The actual number is even greater because not everyone registers. We wondered whether our readers will travel to Spain (and other countries) this winter, despite corona. Looking at the reactions, it seems…
Recipe of the day: All Colors Gold Suquet
One for the way back on the boat and a choice of fish on board. But a little less is also allowed. You know what, we just make a little more Dutch version. One where you only have to stop by the fish shop. You need sofrito as a basis for it. Sounds very difficult,…
