The other day I took a break from work and this is what it looked like: spring! The forsythia is blooming and the winter sun was just warm enough. Bliss! I hoped to show you the result of my little painting project today, but that will have to wait. The paint looked great in the Read article…

2 Anemone girls
It has been a while but #2flowergirls is back! This flower challenge by Elodie & Inga is always so much fun and really challenges me to play around with flowers. And it's also very nice to see all the other contributions on Pinterest. As you can see above, our cats are never far when I Read article…
Eau de Nil
I love paint… and painting! And ever since the make-over of our yellow door, I'm dreaming of doors in all colors of the rainbow. But for now I'm only painting 1 kitchen accessory (and maybe more if I can't control myself…). For color inspiration I looked around our city. I love this bold green color, Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #6
I'm very happy that it's that time of the month again: today Igor and I are hosting our 6th episode of the Urban Jungle Bloggers adventure! February's theme gave us a bit of homework… but it's the best homework you can ask for: play around with greens! Our mission was to choose 1 plant and Read article…
Spring at Merci Paris

Weekend inspiration #12
Sucker for cacti

And even though I like hearts, chocolate, wine and candle light dinners (in no particular order) and have a very sweet husband, I've never ever celebrated Valentine's day. Today won't be an exception, but I couldn't help but make this little Read article…
Rock ‘n Rucola
Secretly I hope the Winter King will forget about France and that we'll head straight from fall into spring. I can't wait to get my hards dirty and prepare a little vegetable garden and take my plants out of their winter storage into the greenhouse. In 5 to 8 weeks I hope to harvest my Read article…
Tina Frey Designs
I'm slightly embarrassed to still show you images from Maison & Objet, but this stand by Tina Frey Designs was too good not to share. So here we go! Even though I love ceramics because of their human touch, I also like the rigid forms of artificial materials. I think Tina's designs have the best Read article…
Greens at Maison et Objet
Plants have been part of our interior for years, but now that our Urban Jungle Bloggers community is growing and growing, I see greens everywhere. You may call it trendy, although I wonder if people will get rid of all their cacti plants when they feel the trend is over. Because plants are living things, Read article…
