The Blue House

Welcome

Forty-one thousand seven hundred eighty-two screws. Three hundred and seventy-eight plasterboards, 24 liters of wood glue, four hundred and one tiles, and, and, and ... and an endless amount of creativity. In addition, more hours than a person wants or dares to count, this for fear of ten years of fatigue. But it was worth it.

The Blue House, once in Ghent the canvas where Dirk and Katelijne realized their creative interiors, is now firmly anchored in rural Sint-Goriks-Oudenhove. A village like a pearl on the elegant neck of the Flemish Ardennes with a history that, to this day, reads like an old Flemish tale.

Here time is not so hasty, the events are not too big, the people are friendly, nice, ordinary. And the house itself has become an ode to light and beauty.

The Blue House is not only a showroom of interior art, in the meantime a B&B has been created with unique themed rooms richly decorated in terms of furniture, lighting and stained glass.

Dirk likes to pass on his knowledge and experience in workshops. Anyone who has ever dreamed of building their own cathedral can already learn how to make stained glass windows with him. (see our facebook page)

In addition to the eye, the inner man is also spoiled. We offer you splendid food based on regional products. Meat, vegetables, cheeses, beers and even the coffee of our neighbour Eveline Hoorens...

In addition to good food and drink, there must also be sufficient exercise. The region is a real cycling and walking paradise with a rich history and numerous attractions. The Romans already knew that the whole region was 'the place to be' and as proof they left some important sites behind. You can also enjoy a pastis or pinot in the garden during the petanque game, or just dream away in a hammock.

The Blue House is not finished, it is a living project, dreams are still born here. Dirk has finished his studies in wine growing and will soon be creating his own 'chateau'. A beer of its own is being thought of, a nature theater, a garden opera, a tower, a glass castle, a ... a steamer on the river ‘Zwalm’.

Now let us concentrate on the present and the future. The house and its residents are ready to welcome you.
