This is the beautiful Parisian home of the owners of stylish children’s boutique Noro in Paris. After an extensive renovation of six months owner Clair could start with the fun part: decorating!
Claire loves to reinvent new from something old. Her motto is that you can create an atmosphere with next to nothing. The image above shows her gorgeous collection of Japanese ceramics.

Grey and black have been used for one of the children’s room.

It is the time of year to think about garden furniture. I love the designs from French company Fermob and these bistro chairs in yellow are just lovely!

I have been seeing a lot of mint green lately. Did Paula Navona set a trend with these chairs in mint? The image above is from ferm LIVING.
I am not a big fan of this color but I do think that it is a lovely color for a nursery. It is different than the standard pink or baby blue and it is still a sweet color. You can find mint green pompoms at Etsy shop PomLove.
The image from the beautiful nursery above (I love the vintage bed) is from mali-mo.
An old cupboard has been painted mint green in this image from VT Wonen.
The wooden letter ‘a’ is from Etsy seller Old New Again.
Today I am loving … this table setting styled by Sweet Paul. This image is from his magazine which is worth reading!
Today I’m loving … this kids room. I like the fact that it is different than the standard nursery and that the colors are not too sweet.

Today’s beautiful weather inspired me to do this post about the Provence, one of my favorite holiday destinations. The food, the wine, the beautiful colors and the beautiful houses with those typical French door shutters … life is good over there!
The blue shutters are typical for the Provence region. You see a lot of houses here with shutters in this particular color.
Isn’t the purple color of the lavender fields stunning!
A traditional Provence farmhouse is called a Mas.
This is the beautiful London home of Swedish illustrator Nina Blychert where she lives with her French husband and their two sons. Together they rebuilt a magnificent Edwardian Kensington house near Hyde Park. Nina has managed to combine the simplicity of Scandinavian art with attention to detail which can also be found in those beautiful mansions in France.
Gorgeous wooden flooring, comfy sofas, white walls and contemporary art: the vibe is refined, relaxed, artistic and multicultural all at once. And everything is designed to leave room for creativity for the children and Nina, who will be releasing a new book soon.

Today I’m loving … this beautiful mint green wall and white bedhead.
Update: the first is image is from Johnny Vintage and was found via Oh Joy (thanks Erin for letting us know the source!). I have added the second image, which is from Arte Styling, that I found this weekend. The colours remind me of Spring!
This lovely house bookshelf has been made out of a sheet plywood. But you can also use a cheap bookcase (for example from IKEA) and turn it into a dollhouse / bookshelf. A fun project to do and not that difficult! Have you seen that tissue box that doubles as a chimney?!
