Interieurs Eycken

Rachael, Zach, and I have been pretty bored lately all cooped up in the hotel. We go for little walks here and there, but the road we're on is pretty busy, and hauling two kids around isn't always easy, so we usually don't go far. One day last week we wanted to get out of the loft, but it was kind of windy, so I decided to take the kids to Interieurs Eycken. This big home decor store is just the next building over from our hotel, and I've been wanting to go in and see what they have pretty badly. And, I gotta tell you, these Europeans have an odd sense of style! Granted, some of the stuff was pretty reasonable. But, some of it was just plain weird or hilarious or both. So, I took the liberty of snapping a few shots with my camera to share with all of you some of the latest in European home decor. I hope you like it!

Interieurs Eycken is on the left, just a couple hundred feet from Hotel Malpertuus, whose signs are on the right.


Cool Lighting and Sculptures

















Interesting Bedrooms and Other Furniture


Who's never dreamed of having a round bed!?

I could sleep in this bed.









I thought this was a neat setup.















I loved this chair, and apparently Rachael did, too =)





They were so proud of these chairs that they made them in miniature =)






Sumo Wrestler and Other Odd Things


Everyone needs a fat sumo wrestler sculpture to put on their endtables!




These made me think of the sculptures that woman made on Beetlejuice!






American Influence





Huge Things to Put In Your House












Celebration of Fat Ladies

Probably my favorite!




I thought this one was really cute!






The Red, White, and Black Collection












I loved this place! It was so huge, and so much fun to walk through. I hope you enjoyed these pictures. I sure had fun taking them and learning a little more about European culture. Please comment and share your thoughts about this post. I'd love to know what you think of all of this, because I thought much of it was really funny or just plain weird! Ta ta!

  1. Maybe Rachel's going to fall in love with that doll in the pink bedroom, Princess Lillefee! She's all the rage in Switzerland. ;) I, personally, love the fat ladies! :D and the lighting!
