At home with Annie

In Uzege, a dreamy area in Gard, southern France, Annie, an American stylist originally from New York, transformed this old farm into a glorious home full of character. Simplicity, the use of local artisans and craftsmen and respect of the original structtral elements were key elements in this renovation. What a serene spot!

M&O crush, part 2 : Refuge

This is my second big Maison et Objet crush...

Picture a big cocoon shaped booth, some fluffy sheepskin rocking chairs and stools, off-whites and natural wood furniture... All you need is a hot cocoa [or some vin chaud], a cashmere throw, and a good book.. This is the mood of Refuge Megeve. Big major crush on their chevron minimalist pendant lamps too...

Dar Kawa

Well, it's that time of the year... when the excitement of winter with its cosy wool sweaters and nice leather boots is all gone, your skin is dry, your toes are bluish because they haven't seen the sunlight for so long... I long for spring so bad... Don't you? To top it off, I keep coming across pictures of sunny paradisiac spots. Like this one spotted on the latest edition of Cote Sud : Dar Kawa in Marrakech, Morocco. Arhh... take me there... What's not to love about this place. Really.
Redesigned by Valerie Barkowski with the help of architect Quentin Wilbaux, Dar Kawa's style is all about simplicity and authenticity - and extra bonus, it's located in Morocco, a place I call home... Blissful, truly...

Today, I'm loving

Today, I am loving this interior with the extra-long Casa Milano white linen sofa. It is actually the Parisian living room of famous and highly talented designer Paola Navone. Can you imagine sitting in a sofa like this? I think the hardest part would be getting out of it, wouldn't you agree?

A light-filled Barcelona flat

Oh, what a beautiful space. This spacious and light filled loft spotted on Habitania Magazine is the home of Barbara, an Italian architect living in Barcelona, Spain. I am in love with the original antique window shutters, and love how Barbara mixed some flea market finds [did you see the wooden letterpress drawers as wall artwork pieces?], classic design pieces and Ikea furniture to give her space a true personality.

House Tour : Mélanie + 2

Mélanie, founder of Simple Kids, a seriously cool online kids clothing store, fell in love with this Anvers, Belgium, house when she found out that all original details had been preserved : vintage mirrors, wooden parquet floors, large windows, high ceilings and extra bonus, lots of open space. After some renovations - check out the gorgeous wooden floors that were stripped and left in their natural hue - Mélanie added some colors and texture thanks to the treasures she brought back from her numerous travels. I am loving the ethnic touches here and there that give this home a true personality. Love, love, love. Love.

More of Jacqueline Morabito...

Remember my post a few months back about photographer Martin Morrell? Well, it turns out that the interior I had a crush on and showed you some pictures of was no less than Jacqueline Morabito's interior design work. While browsing through my Cote Sud magazine, I instantly recognized the shots from Martin Morell. Same house, same vibe. So I could not resist showing you again this house located near Vence, France, with some more details of Jacqueline Morabito's distinctive style. Oh, this is beauty, pure beauty.
