Do you know what you’re doing?

Tomorrow night, Mila will perform in the Chiswick Theatre Arts’s Annual Show: Annie. As the dress I ordered for her hasn’t arrived yet, I was sewing the back of her old pink Fairy dress because Lucas destroyed the tutu and now we can see her bum…Mila (looking at me sewing) “Maman, do you know what you are doing?”Me: “umm….yes I think so“Mila: “OK, well that’s good then”Pffu…lucky it is then! I like how serene this looks and which can be easily achieved at home…paint floorboards in black, source an old piece of wood, use these stone hooks on the walls et voila! House designed by Whiting Architects Demain soir, Mila va jouer dans le spectacle annuel du Chiswick Theatre Arts: Annie. Comme la robe que je lui ai commande n’est pas encore arrivee, hier soir, j’ai cousu le derriere de sa robe parce que Lucas a massacre le tutu et maintenant on voit les fesses de Mila.Mila (qui me regarde coudre) “Maman, est ce que tu sais ce que tu fais?”Me: “umm….oui je crois“Mila: “OK, …

I love this!

Bedroom with concrete floor

Published by BODIE and FOU Style Blog

I’m loving this bedroom with a concrete floor. Be it in a bedroom, bathroom or kitchen (here too), concrete flooring is one of my favourite floorings. Each time I come across this bedroom picture on Pinterest, which was taken in the apartment of Designer Barbara Hill, I can’t help thinking how peaceful it feels and I imagine myself living in it. Maybe in a place like New-York overlooking the Hudson River… How about you? Where do you see yourself living in this bedroom? The bed is the Ligne Roset’s Peter Maly bed. Talking of which, if you’re looking for a vintage Togo sofa by Ligne Roset similar to the one featured in this fab, feel-good family home in Biarritz, check out Pamono in the UK. They have plenty of Togo sofas and armchairs in their collection. Photography by Dean Kaufman

At home…

I’ve added this gorgeous White Rabbit lamp by Egmont. Initially I took it home for Mila’s bedroom but then I tried it in our lounge and it just looks at home. I love the litte quirky touch it adds to the room so for the time being, that’s where it will stay.PS: If you’re a fan of Vanessa Paradis like me, she is on the cover of Vogue UK! A la maison..j’ai ajoute cette adorable lampe Lapin Blanc de Egmont. Je l’avais ramene a la maison pour la chambre de Mila et puis finalement je l’ai essaye dans le salon et maintenant elle est tres bien ou elle est. J’aime beaucoup la petite touche fun qu’elle ajoute au salon PS: Si vous etes une fan de Vanessa Paradis comme moi, elle est en couverture de Vogue UK! http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs
