I was pleasantly surprised by all your reactions further to my first home deco post (my country house here) so let’s continue with my parisian apartment.
I moved to Paris 8 years ago and I first lived in a smaller apartment in the heart of the lively neighborhood of Oberkampf in the 11ème arrondissement. Then right before Lino arrived, I moved to the 14ème arrondissement, a much calmer, family neighborhood that fits me way better today.
I sought my Grail for almost 2 years and it’s a real estate agent whom finally found it for me. On the ground floor of a 1860’s building, I’m incredibly lucky to have a little yard. The little breath of fresh air that allows the country girl that I am to survive in Paris.
Today, let’s focus on my living-room, I’m dividing up the presentation of my apartment so it will be more digestible for you. It’s a big living-room open on the dining-room and the kitchen, I had all the dividing walls taken down.
You have to do today what everyone will do tomorrow Jean Cocteau You know my love for the black and midnight blue combination, if I had to choose only one color combination it would definitely be this one. I like to bright things up with some red, orange, golden… It’s both chic and casual, it suits everyone. Long story short,…
La grâce en héritage, la sensualité pour seul langage. Repetto Paris Last Tueday I had the happy privilege to be invited for an afternoon tea in Dorothée Gilbert’s home.

But the present time has one advantage over every other – it is our own. Charles Caleb Colton I already told you about the Salon collection from Asos, a dressier and more elaborate collection. The pieces from the Asos Salon collection are perfect for summer ceremonies such as weddings, christenings, etc… or even for a special party. If you’re looking…
Mieux vaut rester rouge cinq minutes que jaune toute la vie. proverbe brésilien I tried the gentle method, then the punchier method to make this f***ing summer understant that it was time to show up already. It won’t ! Okay, I’m drawing my sun-yellow trench coat, the one who makes blind people regain their sight just with its ultra-powerful yellow ! Thanks to me, the people in my street get their…
I’ve been wanting to talk to you about these rings that matter in my life for some time now. When it comes to jewels, and by that I mean real precious jewels, I don’t have a lot of them, even if now I consider my designer pieces (by Charlotte Martyr for example) to be exceptional pieces. So there’s five…
