Alright, i am breaking my time-off-the-blog vow for a second because I HAVE to post about this.  It was freshly posted on marie-claire maison this morning and my heart almost ached when i saw it.

It is going to stay at the top of my dream home inspiration folder. Hands down.

This is pretty much my vision of the ideal home.

The light, the light...

 

 

 

J'avais promis de ne pas vous revoir avant Janvier, mais ce matin, j'ai eu un tel coup de foudre que je n'ai pas eu d'autre choix que de vous présenter... la maison de MES RÊVES.

Elle existe, en concrêt et elle est publiée ce matin sur le site de marie-claire maison.

Je n'ai d'yeux que pour elle:  sa lumière, son âme, son espace ouvert et ses couleurs passées.

Son âme...

 

 

I took this picture last spring in the beautiful and mystical Black Forest.  I can now imagine the same landscape covered in snow and gingerbread-like houses nestled in the valley warming up with smokey chimneys...

The highlight of my year was without a doubt my trip to Europe.

I will now take a little break from writing here but will be back really soon in January and share again all the new stories i have in tow.

~ Best wishes to all of you ~

 

 

Meilleurs voeux à tous mes lecteurs francophones! Quelle année!

  je prends quelques jours de vacances mais reviens en force en Janvier.

A très bientôt!

that time of the year...

 

I apologize in advance if i did not find the time to feature another home + interview this month.

You know how quickly things can slide off of your hands and time just starts running against you...?  well this is my perception of life at this time of the year. 

But i promise, there will be a lot of exciting original features in the new year.

This week I shot the always inspiring window display at Commune Salon & Gift, a place i never tire to photograph.  A must see if you -out of town readers- ever come hang out in Brooklyn.

Encore quelques semaines de douce folie et nous serons en janvier!

Un mois où je promet de reprendre mes projets, mes interviews et mes portraits d'intérieurs... ce mois-ci,  la pendule tourne un peu a contre sens!

Voici quelques photos de la dernière vitrine de Commune, dont je ne me lasse jamais de photographier.

Douceur calmante de la lumière hivernale. Des couleurs qui m'inspirent pour des projets futurs.

from the Atlas...

 

Do you remember this post?  about my sister's beautiful apartment in Strasbourg.  Well, one of her wish of owning a piece of Berber art on her floors has just been fulfilled.  This specific type of white morocan rug is called Beni Ouarain.  Hers arrived just on time for the winter and was handpicked by the terrific duo behind Secret Berbère.

And best of all,  she received the rug as  A  G I F T !

Jealous? me? No.

I really love the layers of whites and creams she is slowly creating in her living room.

Ma soeur vient d'aquerrir une oeuvre d'art! Un tapis Beni Ouarain pour couvrir ses jolis sols dans son jolis appartment, vous vous souvenez?  Tapis soigneusement rapporté par l'equipe de Secret Berbère.

Mmmm... la meilleure façon d'aborder l'hiver.  On a presque envie de s'y coucher!
