Yvonne Bakker, an interior stylist who works for several interior magazines, and Michiel van der Zee have their residence in the centre of Haarlem in The Netherlands. The house was built in 1898 and completely renovated a few years ago, making use of old building materials. Very special of this house is the city garden; right in the city you have your own small paradise and quiet relaxing place.
Vintage style
