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…
PCM Reversed Volumes
Another coup de coeur from Maison & Objet is this collection of bowls designed by Austrian design studio mischer'traxler. The idea of capturing the imprint of fruits and vegetables is so obvious, simple and beautifully executed in matte resin. And look at those colors! ♥ The Reversed Volumes collection is edited by PCM and very Read article…
Styloise: Liléko
Last week I met with Liléko, which was a true delight. She's a fashion student from Chartres, so technically, not a true Isarien, but she lives in Creil during the week, so I count her in 😉 She's currently working hard to finish her studies and prepare for a year abroad in the US. I Read article…
Maison et Objet in wood
It's probably because I can't wait for lighter days, with more energy and blooming greens, that my eye caught lots of wood, brightness and a hint of color at Maison & Objet last weekend. Today I'll show you some bright wooden designs that I liked. Delightful color combos by Scholten & Baijings on tables and Read article…
Flowers for guests
Maybe you remember that I was taking pictures of some flowers a few weeks ago? Well, it was a real challenge: the cats were super curious and wouldn't keep away from the florals. They actually nibbled on a few leaves too. It was almost like the florist added some catnip to the bouquet. So I Read article…
&Tradition Copenhagen crush
Before sharing more colors and trends from Maison & Objet, I'd like to share another design crush I had when visiting the booth of &Tradition. It's their new Copenhagen pendant lamp designed by Space Copenhagen. The nautical inspired lamp appeals to me with its bold industrial shape and matte finish. There's something about pendant lights Read article…
I heart Hartô
The good thing about a grey and rainy Sunday in Paris? You can spend it at Maison & Objet and bring home an overdose of inspiration, lots of nice conversations with designers, many giggles with fellow bloggers and a full SD card with loads of images. That's exactly what I did 😉 One of my Read article…
