Two rooms in the new home were “high priority” on the wall-color list: the kitchen, which you may have seen yesterday, as well as our bedroom. Most of the important rooms, like the kitchen, home office and living room are on the sunny side of the house, and are bright and get a lot of Read article…
Once the backsplash in our kitchen looked like 2021 again (see here), the pale pink-ish color had to go. While I love pink, this shade was just too pale, too grey, too pink, we were ready for something with a bit of punch. I ordered different pink samples from Blime paint, a young French brand Read article…
With this blasting Da Rona soundtrack on repeat for the past 11 months, we still managed to finally sell* and buy a new home in 2020-2021! It’s been a huge time consuming process, but we are ENFIN, finally, ready to move to our new home in the coming weeks. Our initial plan was to build Read article…
When my Mastermind buddies and I made our visionboards in January 2019, I didn’t expect that every single word and image I was sticking to the board would make its way into the new year. I wonder if having the vision board in my office, and the fact that I saw it every day, influenced 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…
A living room update today! Clearly not of our own home, but this is the living room of my biggest cheerleaders: my dear parents! This summer they mentioned they were looking to update the colors and furniture in their living area. It had been years since they changed anything and asked me to think along. Read article…
Cane, dusty pinks & corals, terracotta, arc-shapes… and overall rather neutral color palettes.
