Franka's Beautiful Amsterdam Abode — House Tour

Name: Franka Coyle
Location: Hoofdweg Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Size: 1,991 square feet
Years lived in: 2.5 years (Rent)

Born and raised in Amsterdam Zuid (south), Franka and her lovely family live in a very charming Dutch home in the Hoofdweg neighborhood. Franka notes, "There are a lot of special places and beautiful streets in Amsterdam, but I couldn't resist the stunning homes in Hoofdweg. This neighborhood always made me feel happy when I would bike through. Most of the homes have gorgeous front gardens and the area is so magical in the spring. It's a perfect place to raise my family."
Originally a psychiatric nurse, Franka made the difficult decision to leave the profession she loved to raise her two little ones (Poppy 4 and Frankie 22 months). This break from her career started to give her creative side a chance to come out. Franka has always had a massive interest in style, design and all things beautiful. Whenever someone visits their home people would ask where they bought their furniture. More than half of Franka's interior is vintage and secondhand. Franka connected with her dear friend Sri, who also has a love for all things vintage and secondhand, and they came up with the idea to find, select, and sell beautiful pieces straight from their homes. HAUS118 was born. HAUS118 carries a line of exclusive mid-century Scandinavian furniture pieces restored in Amsterdam, displayed in their homes and can only be viewed via Instagram.
