Hi, I am Daniëlle Balfoort. Founder of Studio UpNorth, a website dedicated to showcasing awesome DIY fashion and interior projects, meet other makers and share whatever caught my eye. I believe that life is more fun and fabulous with handmade goods.

For some time now I feel that the craziness of fast-fashion and trends that are gone before they even have the slightest chance to become classics is bothering me. With this blog I love to share awesome handmade projects from materials that I re-used and re-created. I’m really excited to start this adventure and share my projects with you!
