WOONMATERIE // DAT ZIT WEL SNOR

In Blokzijl, a picturesque little harbor town in the north of Overijssel in the Netherlands, you can find a gorgeous shop at Bierkade 9: Woonmaterie & Dat Zit Wel Snor. This interior shop is located in a charming old harbor office with ornamental ceilings and a basement filled with furniture from the 1960's. Woonmaterie is founded by Katy Sonke. She sells retro, one of a kind furniture and home accessories. Dat Zit Wel Snor was founded by Suzanne Beurmanjer. She sells original handmade, recycled and original pieces, like a candle within a teacup and festoons made from sheets of music.

I became very greedy when I first entered the store. Every piece is unique and evidence of creative minds. The two lovely ladies did a great job creating a store like this. I actually expected a concept like Woonmaterie & Dat Zit Wel Snor in a bigger city, because I'm sure that loads of people would love to visit this shop. On the other hand, with a beautifully situated property such as Bierkade 9 with it's view over the harbor I can imagine why they have decided upon Blokzijl. Blokzijl is small but lovely with it's small harbor and quay, monumental buildings, winding streets and interesting sites. Definitely worth the visit and, that's why I'm writing this review, so are Woonmaterie & Dat Zit Wel Snor! Stop by for their large collection of creativity, coffee or Olli and James, the two dogs that are always there to give you a warm welcome.
