Welcome in a small Paris apartment

I am a lucky girl. All my friends have beautiful homes. They are welcoming, warm, beautifully illuminated and easy to live. In a word, they have all the ingredients I look for in a beautiful interior. They are not cold and impersonal, they have not that copycat design inspired by interior catalogues. I alway look for the personal touch of the owner, the taste, the souvenirs or the design objects found through the years. Or simply, a DIY painting or a DIY solution that turns to be the right thing for that particular space. Most of all I look for the right illumination, not central illumination, lamps situated at the corner of the living, warm shades of light that add the warmth you need to feel comfortable in a place. Here is a small Paris apartment that has all those things I just mentioned. Moreover, it has an external small courtyard for romantic breakfasts and dinners. Isn't it gorgeous? Do you find it welcoming? I had a crush on it so I thought to share it today. Happy tour!

House of the week - Welcome in Brazil!

Hello everybody! I am back at work, but everything hasn't yet got the pace and rythm of pre ferragosto days. I couldn't prevent from sharing this wonderful Brazilian interior which has got every detail that I mostly love. A wonderful wall gallery, wide spaces wonderfully decorated, design pieces, colors and colors masterly matched, that perfectly reflect the essence of Brazil. I recently discovered some great Brazilian interiors with wide and airy fluid spaced where the real protagonists are the the concrete lofty columns great colorful tiles and a huge taste in decorating. I am just falling in love with that style. Hope you do love it just as I do. Have fun!

Hi there! What about this great summertime? We have plenty of sun in Rome, we are going out on weekends, seeing friends, eating icecream and having great dinners en dehors. I have been very silent these last months, maybe because more focused on insta pictures. Instagram is the immediate contact with people yu want to know things about and the instant way to share your fave things, but it also limits a little bit your desire to detail pictures. At least, this is how it works for me. But, on the other hand, I follow some great insta accounts that are real blogs. The authers write great things, share beautiful moments, amazing pictures and their wonderful taste. That said, I have been busy with homeschooling for my 10 years old, redone the paint of my apartment, introduced some new shades of grey and light green that I just can't wait to share. I am so much into natural hues, beautiful and simple things, rehauled pieces and natural materials. Simplicity is the highest sophistication. No need to imitate interior catalogues, no need to buy the same trendy things in big stores. Sophistication is the easy way of living and making sure that your home is the place you feel comfortable and welcome people. Home must serve you not the contrary. Here is my idea of making life easy to live. Some of my choices in terms of fashion, linen outfits, straw hats, maxi dresses I am coveting right now and ofcourse some inspo of interior design good. Have fun and have a great summertime! Kisses xxxxx

Hello friends! After a very very long silence over here, I am back. We have been going through some hard times, so many restrictions, no walks in the week ends, no flea markets, no treasure huntings. Nonetheless, like everyone out there, we have been trying to get ourselves used to this new life rythm, hard as it may seem. We have had dinners at home (masked and distanced, of course), we have had chit chats, we have read lots of books and above all we have all tried to make our homes look as cosy as possible. On top of that, we are trying our best to remain optimistic and look at life thoughtfully and full of renewed energy. Let's then toast and appreciate everything we are enjoying, our friends, our jobs, our families and our homes. I have been, for instance, painting my home. The bedroom has become dark grey which I just am crazy about. The kitchen is now green mint. Hope to share some pictures of my "new homes". For now, here is a random collection of some beautiful inspiration I have been dowloading lately. The first ones are from imax.fr, a Paris real estate website. I love these kitchens. Elegant and easy to live, two elements we all should search and apply to our kitchens and our homes in general. The second group of pictures is from Billie Blanket Blog one of my recently discovered accounts. The section "visites privées" is to be devoured. That is what I do everytime I stumble upon. There are some of my main inspirations. Yellow Touches, painted walls, dark hues and flea markets treasures. Till next post, have a great sunday!
