This early Spring weather is wonderful…. and messed up. We had the warmest month of February EVER. So freaky! And together with these high temperatures and sunshine come peaks of pollution here in and near Paris. While the quality of the air outside is really bad, the quality of our indoor spaces are often even Read article…
After a less surprising September 2018 edition, I really enjoyed this past January’s Maison & Objet. The quality was really good and while I already shared a lot in Instagram Stories, I wanted to share some of my highlights here on the blog as well. One of the gems I discovered is the porcelain skyline Read article…
Sometimes when you least expect it, you discover a gem that gives you hope. Or at least that’s how I feel when I walk into creative spaces that propose a unique vision. I felt it at a fashion shop in Berlin, that a dear friend introduced me to, a few months ago. And I felt Read article…
A living room update today! Clearly not of our own home, but this is the living room of my biggest cheerleaders: my dear parents!

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…
