This is the Netherlands home, showroom and studio of lighting guru and designer Ron van Empel of Empel Collections. A wonderful live/work space!

Came across these images because friend CB forwarded me a bunch of pictures Ron had emailed her. Ron is great friends with CB's godmother and I guess sends CB emails from time to time. This time CB and I were talking on the phone and she began raving about how "gorgeous" Ron's Leiden home is. I was immediately interested in seeing the gorgeous photos...so Charlotte sent them over...that's when I began drooling. I drooled even more when Ron sent me another email with more photos from his home and some of his new lighting. Eureka! A post! (Meanwhile...I know...very long explanation to really say somehow I got the photos...sorry...)

I love this home that Ron uses as a place of residence, a design studio and a showroom for all of his lighting (table lamps, chandeliers, sconces, wall lamps, pendant lights). From a design perspective, these interiors are so very well decorated but also very accessible - meaning they are pretty and livable at the same time.

Thank you Ron for sharing!

A blanket of winter white snow covers the front garden of this live work space in the Netherlands. Double carved front doors painted a cool glossy grey, manicured hedges in symmetrical planters and wonderful iron work over the door's sidelights make for a grand entrance. (above)
