Visiting plant nurseries makes me really happy, but visiting amazing architectural masterpieces is my second favorite. This Villa Savoye in Poissy, just outside Paris, was on my want-to-visit-list for a while and finally I got to go! At several places stood "leftover" Tolix chairs and stools from the dedicated Tolix exhibition at the Villa Savoy Read article…

Urban Jungle Bloggers #21
Today we kick off the third season of Urban Jungle Bloggers! After a hot and busy summer we are back with a new topic that I like really much: Plants & Art. One of the twenty-seven rooms in our home is my atelier. The plan was to use it as the room where I would Read article…
Dahlia love + a Snor giveaway
This time of the year is always a little bit special. In September it's la rentrée (back to school/work/life in France) which is usually extra busy but September has also proven to be a month full of unexpected personal adventures for the past two decades. I have no idea what this month has in store Read article…
Giant plant pots with #myelho
It will take another decade until I'll be able to hang my hammock in my own home-grown palm trees. But this summer they grew bigger and bigger. Their roots grew against the walls and bottom of their pots. Time for new bigger plant pots! I put them in these giant synthetic plant pots from Elho. Read article…
Des Petits Hauts courtyard in Paris by HeJu
A little warning: this will be a super pastel post. Not that there's anything wrong with pastels, but just so you know. Ever since the creative duo behind heju revealed their design for the courtyard of Parisian boutique Des Petits Hauts, I wanted to see it in person. So when I was in the neighborhood Read article…
Etairnity Airplants design + giveaway
This summer I received a package from Etairnity with my very first airplants! You know I do have lots of cacti, agaves, succulents, palm trees and such, but somehow I never adopted any airplants. I expected them to be all tropical and difficult to take care of, but actually it's rather the opposite! Airplants, Tillandsia Read article…
Hotel Joke in Paris
It's one of the questions I get very often: Judith do you know a nice hotel in Paris? Usually I sleep in my own bed when I'm in Paris… obviously 😉 But for my birthday, Astotel invited me for a night in their brand new hotel in the 9ᵗʰ arrondissement: l'Hôtel Joke. I had a Read article…
Rue Crémieux in Paris
Paris isn't nearly as colorful as Berlin or London, but we do have our own Notting Hill-like street! La Rue Crémieux is one of the most Instagrammed streets in Paris and it was fun to see it in person in stead of on millions of Instagram shots. It's actually a very very regular and small Read article…
Running a rainbow with Kalenji + giveaway!
I clearly remember the day someone called me Sporty Spice for the first time. Me?! No way! But after my recent 300th run I can hardly deny it: I love running! And finding colorful or interesting things on my runs became a second nature. While I have no ambition of ever running a marathon, I Read article…
Mies van der Rohe pavilion Barcelona
Another day, another gem in Barcelona! If you love steel, glass and polished stone and architecture, you shouldn't miss the Mies van der Rohe Barcelona pavilion, if you are in town. I'm not a die-hard MvdR-fan but love his ideas about inside/outside, plants and clean lines. For instance I really don't like his Barcelona chair: Read article…
