Cane, dusty pinks & corals, terracotta, arc-shapes… and overall rather neutral color palettes. This September’s edition of Maison & Objet didn’t surprise by its innovative use of colors or shapes, but comforted in what we already know that’s coming: more natural materials, better craftsmanship, terracotta, more pink, circular shapes. As always it was nice to Read article…
How it happened? I have no idea, but in the past six months our home turned into Pastel Paradise. When I’m into a specific color I tend to be an “obsessed gatherer”. That’s exactly what happened in our yellow living room a few years ago. Now that we have a pink & grey Cubit sofa, Read article…
One of the reasons I don’t show our entire living room very often, is that our large dining table and bar cart were in bad shape. Well, their structure and quality are great, but the surface of the table top was dented and stained and the veneer was damaged on the edges. We bought the Read article…
Maybe I was inspired by the extreme weather we’ve had this spring, with so many rainbows between thunderstorms and sunny days, or maybe it’s simply my ever ongoing crush on color that made me pick five colors for our new sideboard from Cubit.

A few weeks ago one of the best deliveries ever arrived: our new sofa from Cubit! The huge, comfy, beautiful and pink & grey sofa, transformed our livingroom and even our lifestyle: I’ve read several magazines from cover-to-cover; as well as one book (The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert). We’ve dreamed of a Read article…
When you’re in Brussels during the only 3 weeks of the year when the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are open to the general public, you just HAVE to go, right? This was the first time ever, that I queued up to visit a greenhouse. It was also the most annoying visit ever: there were too Read article…
The Mindcraft exhibition curated by Henrik Vibskov last year was one of my very favorites, so I was impatient to check out this year’s edition. The weather was just as glorious as in 2017: the sun hit the inner court of the historical San Simpliciano cloister and made everything look extra special. All the pillars Read article…
When I lay eyes on these tiles by Cristina Celestino for Fornace Brioni, I immediately imagined where I would use them in our home… or even better: future home 😉 The shapes, the colors, the patterns… The tradition of Fornace Brioni’s handcrafted brick tiles, that are called “cotto”, dates back thousands of years and is Read article…
