aw i love this. i've been so tired of extreme minimalism . this has my favorite things, books, maximalism and the lovely aesthetic. definitely taking ideas from here!

[@Magictrunk]

I didn't see sny maximalist here except for books

[@leoraaileen]

The intro is really giving 73 questions with Quirine vogue

[@quirinebrouwer]

Hahahahaha ja

[@babus6847]

This is my almost dream house... It's adorable.

[@SannePetersx]

Love your style ^^ Grappig dat je ook Nederlands bent :). Love thrifting so much!

[@user.47221]

This is the only type of maximalist design i can live with. Every item is related, the colors are pastel shaded, there is an overall theme and integrity (and the literary theme is just my taste, i have some classical romantic literary kind of design pieces as well). Very well made!

[@andromeda2503]

your essence is immaculate! i love your content on instagram, so seeing you branch out to youtube is splendid! you should definitely make a sunday morning reading vlog where you make coffee and talk about books :)

[@quirinebrouwer]

Ahh that’s a great idea, thank you!! 🥰

[@vincentlehmann9148]

Such an awesome apartment. Love it ! In this world of soulless minimalism, you put maximalism on the map for me ! Love your content, looking forward to what you continue do to !

[@Realalma]

I absolutely love the dark/light academia vibes! I’m a reader and lover of all curiosities who would be in heaven in that space ❤

[@mesomeone8684]

I've recently started working from home, I love it but it's very quiet as I'm on the phone for work often. t The ambiance on the TV is brilliant idea. Thank you. Beautiful home.

[@florafae]

I adore your space so much ❤️ it is so romantic ❤️‍🔥 I'm so thrilled that you made a KZbin channel! I hope you plan on staying a while with it!!! I would love to see book suggestions/reviews, clothing style related videos ! ✨🌹 You are my dream aesthetic!

[@rizzler206]

you inspire me so much to read more ! really appreciate you!!

[@MrFredstt]

Awesome apartment! I really love the wall above your TV with all the paintings

[@kayjmal]

An absolutely stunning space you've created! And I love your accent, it's so sweet:) Can't wait for more videos from you!

[@quirinebrouwer]

Thank you

[@maliabee2917]

I'm in love with your aesthetic. I'm so glad that you decided to make ytb videos. ❤

[@quirinebrouwer]

Ahh thank you 🥰

[@BenDovaAlready]

I like the wizard sleeves . Nice vid

[@southerntoucan4059]

Your. Video just showed up on my feed, I love decorating just as you have which brought me to watch your video. I was ver surprised when you said you live in Holland! I am American, use to live in Holland and never came across a Dutch person that liked antiques or putting more than one picture on the wall. Even when they visit me here in the U.S.A. They voice how my things are old or I have too many things. I do not have a lot of books, I do have lots of Art. Thank you for showing your home, nice to know some Dutch like this style. Love Holland and your charming apartment! ❤

[@janetmccausland8953]

I could so easily move into your home and not change a thing! It is so me!

[@lalerej4570]

I'm absolutely in love with the wallpaper ❤ and your gallery wall. You created such a lovely home. 😊

[@PunkyDory80]

It’s beautiful, and I absolutely love the aesthetic and the window seat. I’d love to see your book collections ☺️

[@quirinebrouwer]

Good idea I'll definitely do a bookshelf tour sometime!

[@nothingimportant5019]

Thank you for the great video! I really would love to see a bit of your town! Maybe some nice cafés or bookstores or nature^^

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Your apartment is fab! I now see how books can be a way of painting. I love my books. They’re everywhere in my home. You’ve made me even more aware of how the presence of books is energizing. I like to stack my in columns like stalagmites 📚 I like to place something special on the top of every tower. I think you need more green plants. Here’s a few: 🪴🪴🪴 Enjoy!

[@cozyninos]

Love how homey and detailed your home is. My favorite decor piece definitely had to be the sacred heart mirror, caught my eye immediately. Hope to emulate this cozy maximilist style in my own home :)

[@leighgm]

Oh! I loooove your style and the aesthetics!

[@1996eduarda]

Would love to see like a Q&A thing too 😌 house is amazing!!

[@quirinebrouwer]

I'll definitely do a Q&A sometime soon as well!

[@phoebewhitaker4036]

Such a gorgeous home!!

[@rekavitz6473]

Your apparent is literally goals! ❤ So beautiful and homely. I do the same, pick up prints and postcards from museums i visited and put them on a gallery wall. 🖼️ Love a place where everything has a story 💚

[@quirinebrouwer]

Yes I love that too! Especially when people come to visit and ask about stuff so I can tell them all the stories haha

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

Love the way you decorated your apartment! 💖 It’s absolutely beautiful & unique looking. I’m definitely going to check out that Maximalism book by Lorraine Kirk. Thank you for that information.💕🌱

[@libraryofjonathan]

This channel is a great compliment to your Instagram. Any videos you come up with will be great.

[@lisaplummer8144]

This did not feel like a first video! You did a great job and your apartment is wonderful. Just Kids is such a wonderful book, as is anything from Patti, really. I saw some Sarah J Maas, as well. I've just recently started reading her and enjoy her a lot. I also love anything witchy. So glad youtube put you in my feed today.

[@vanessathai6303]

Would love to see you post more witchy content!!!

Beautiful home. Would love to hear you talk about your favorite stories and share poetry

[@taylorssecondlife2369]

[@KimOfDrac]

[@stillerevolution4488]

Yesss finally 🥰

[@efects7429]

More please! Since you hate your kitchen...a kitchen makeover!???

[@waffelsmellgood]

I really like your wallpaper. Is that a William Morrison design? I think your aesthetic is dark academia. ❤❤

[@chromberries7329]

It's like dark academia mixed with whimsigoth

[@oaooo8691]

I hope you'll sonn feel better! You have such a beautiful place to call home and you've made the best of it. Simply amazing, thank you very much for sharing it with us. Also your town sounds really nice, I love old towns but I've never been to Dordrecht before despite living only 1 1/2 hours away from it. I'll definetly go there soon. Do you have any advise on where to relax, grab something great to eat or drink, where to get some nice books or where I can get some beautiful antique decorations?

[@quirinebrouwer]

Dordrecht is quite small so if you visit maybe you could do a combination visit with Rotterdam (which has my favourite bookstore, Donner)! But places I recommend in Dordrecht itself are Villa Augustus for the best organic food and beautiful Italian garden (especially in summer), Bluebirds in the Backyard for coffee in a gorgeous historical building, Pandora and the other store Pandorus for antique shopping and bookstore De Nieuwe Bengel which is small but charming. :)

[@TheMimozas.]

beautiful

[@geod.5833]

Came here from instagram. Love your apartment. Hoping to decorate my home this way too. 🖤

[@angelmorrigan7680]

love this video and your home! im wondering how you hang pictures and a bookshelf from the brick wall? do you use nails? do you put them into the mortar between the bricks? thankyou!!!

[@quirinebrouwer]

I use special concrete nails for the picture frames! And the bookshelves are screwed in there with a drill haha, not sure exactly how my dad did it for me

[@kirsten8807]

Fun fact: Lorraine Kirke is Jemima, Domino, and Lola Kirke’s mother as well as the ex-wife of Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company, etc.).

[@ouxuo_]

[@saml8802]

What is your wallpaper called!

[@quirinebrouwer]

It's from a Dutch brand! www.karwei.nl/assortiment/vliesbehang-lauri-bourgondy-dessin-113294/p/B165047?store=%5Bstore_code%5D&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtO-kBhDIARIsAL6Lord7ue_-1UwQk_r5YHfhV5jMs2wmZImQQ9Cb0zPowkVWobJQ-b2EBGYaAsNQEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@driezzy]

Prachtig interieur!

[@RobynVanLimburg]

Hey waar kan ik dat prachtige behang kopen 😊

[@angelicagarza6132]

Looks more like a tour of you modeling.

[@mittetalae1585]

Please, do more youtube videos!

[@quirinebrouwer]

I definitely will!! 💞

[@mermaidmotel5064]

Je hebt trouwens echt bijna geen accent, I wish I could relate lol

[@quirinebrouwer]

Hahaha OH in mijn hoofd klink ik zo Nederlands

[@marocmaroc-yn9fi]

hii do you think we can have your live with out study and bee a freelance like u

[@noona514]

I found out that there are no-kill mouse traps. Just catch and release. It's a small price to pay for a home with character. I find luxury homes so stale and uninviting. The minimalist aesthetic is depressing.

[@BeckyLames]

She lost me at I have mice

[@juanlara4358]

Get a cat and the mice will disappear!

[@quirinebrouwer]

Haha I already have a dog so that's enough pets for me (and unfortunately he doesn't care about the mice lol)

[@juanlara4358]

@@quirinebrouwer ahh understandable haha, they should be included in your next video!

[@sandramalone3522]

Great apartment, love the style, similar to mine, but get rid of those tarot cards and witch craft books, it will only bring evil into your place. Other than that, it's a beautiful space.

[@borleyboo5613]

What a silly comment. Why should you assume witch craft is evil. It’s not. It’s more to do with the natural world and herbalism. They don’t fly about on broomsticks wearing pointy hats and turning people into frogs. As for the tarot cards, I’ve had a set in my house for years and there’s absolutely no evil here.

[@thegardenoftere]

I’m so happy you’re finally doing KZbin videos 🧡

[@quirinebrouwer]

🥰

[@SinnaSex]

Lovely Apartment 😍, Very Dainty & Cozy.

[@sassygirl6407]

Dit is de eerste video van jou dat ik kijk, en om 1 of andere reden wist ik al dat je in Nederland woont nog voor je het vertelde 😄 Groetjes uit België
