Chirp chirp! I hope these fake birds will encourage the real birds to kickstart spring. Finally! I can't wait for warmer days without coats and scarfs. I spotted these little birds at a small Floral Art Fair in Paris. I was not impressed by the quality of the flower arrangements exhibited but it was a Read article…

2 Daffodil Girls
Actually I was planning on styling some ranunculus for the #2flowergirls project by Elodie and Inga today. But without a nice variety of fresh flowers available nearby, I went for an simpler solution: the first fresh daffodils from our garden. At this time of the year, the forests here in the Oise are covered with Read article…
Tea from a doctor
While I'm enjoying an early morning coffee* at Creative Mornings Paris ( a monthly breakfast lecture series for creative types ), I'd like to show you this herbal tea I got from Giova. She told me she primarily bought these teas because she loved the packaging so much. I'm a sucker for beautiful packaging too. Read article…
Pantone Emerald or Saint Patrick’s?
Without a doubt this was one of my favorite spaces in Stockholm: the children's workshop at the Arkitekturmuseet. It's bold, it's green and it smells like craft glue and linoleum. What more can you wish for? Besides the supercool lampshades, I really like the chairs with one "ear" (or raised hand?): My first internship ever Read article…
Light is my favorite color
Nagging about the weather is really boring, but after a very grey winter we finally enjoyed some sunny spring weather early this week! Still quite cold but the pale blue-ish colors warmed my heart. I completely agree with Nanette from Interior Crisp: light is my favorite color! What's yours?

Budding spring leaves
Can you believe it? We're in March! As a surprise my beloved apple tree popped its first leaves this week! The elstar tree hibernated in our living room and lost its leaves at the end of november. Our cats really loved that: they played with the leaves for hours. I can't wait for spring and Read article…
Swedish de-light
To kick off this week I wanted to show you the cool lighting in my home away from home in Stockholm. In the public areas designer & architect trio Claesson Koivisto Rune decided upon some funky lamps, like the Sticky lamps by Chris Kabel for DROOG: The artistic theme uniting the hotel and its facilities Read article…
We’re trendy…
My eye spotted lots of copper in Stockholm. It's such a trendy "color". Just before leaving for Sweden, I read this lovely style report on Modern Copper by Chloé Douglas on Rena Tom's blog. Maybe it unconsciously opened my eyes to copper? Above the famous Tom Dixon suspensions at restaurant Hjerta. And there's copper on Read article…
Come into my room…
Come into my room… at Hotel Skeppsholmen! Last week I introduced you to my island getaway in Stockholm, and today I'll show you around my room. From the window above I had an amazing view of the Stockholm skyline… The sun shining through the curtains designed by the famous Swedish designers Claesson Koivisto Rune. Actually Read article…
