On my travel wish-list…Bruxelles
I’ve always wanted to go to Bruxelles for a weekend. I would also like to go back to New-York for a week and Koh-Samui for 4 weeks….In fact, if you ask me, the list of places I would like to see is quite long. I’ve been suggesting a long weekend in Bruxelles to Steve but he’s not really feeling the love yet and that is because we come from two different views. Steve thinks flight/queue/hassle/tootired/traveltoomuch/Europeanparliament/weather I’m thinking inspiration/decoration/design/vintage/coolplacestosee and yes I could go there by myself like the big girl that I am but the truth is, I’m done travelling on my own. I don’t enjoy it as much as I used to, mostly because I miss my little family as soon as I’m away So here is list of places I would like to see when we go there (because we will! :-) ICI (photo 1) a lovely delicatessen launched by Saskia et Marine {35 Rue Darwin, 35 1050 Bruxelles Tél. : 02/343 88 57 You can follow them here} The ALEXIS VANHOVE Gallery and SHOWROOM (photo 2): Dedicated to mid-century furniture, the …

Paris | New Catalogue | ♥
I’m off to Paris this afternoon to attend Maison & Objet and of course I’m very excited because I haven’t seen my sister and my mum since the last one in September and I know that Saturday we will do our usual shopping trip to MERCI and Zadig & Voltaire in Le Marais and Sunday, I’m catching up with my two best friends but at the show, between meetings, I’m also going to meet up with fellow bloggers like Lau, Cristine, and Carine which should be great fun! As I working on our new homepage this morning, I could help thinking how much I enjoyed styling some of these shots below* for our first mail order catalogue and given how successful our catalogue was, we have decided that not only we will produce a bigger one for Christmas 2012 but we will also send out a mini (but SO inspiring and beautiful) Summer one. You can still receive the Winter one by requesting a free copy here until the end of February and we will …
Beautiful guesthouse in Brussels
I fell for this guesthouse in Brussels years ago and it’s only recently when I was flicking through my old issues of Marie-Claire Maison that I recalled it.I’m in love with this floor to ceiling open-shelf in the kitchen that displays an eclectic mix of crockery, china and glassware. Not really for those who loves the minimalist look but I love how homely it feels….I can see myself coming down in the morning wearing nice PJs from Hush and long winter socks to drink my tea from a large ceramic bowl…Originally, the building was a mirror factory which little by little, the owner Philippe transformed into a beautiful urban sanctuary. This lovely place has 5 bedrooms. The one below is called “la Vie d’Artiste’ and looks like what could have been the room of a poet like Baudelaire. The painted wall behind works nicely as a headboard. Click here for more info about Chambres en Ville…..gorgeous http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs
