Like any good Swede I have lit my first Advent candle today. Didn't manage to take an acceptable photo though so I'm posting this one instead, found on the instagram account of bywirth (but obviously you're only allowed to light one candle today ;) ) Happy Sunday! Comme tous suédois qui se respecte, j'ai allumé ma première bougie de l'Avent aujourd'hui. N'ayant pas réussi à prendre une photo convenable, je vous montre celle-ci à la place, trouvée sur le compte instagram de bywirth (mais bien évidemment vous n'avez le droit d'allumer qu'une seule bougie aujourd'hui ;) ). Bon...

The home of Maliin Stoor is one of the most creative homes I've ever seen. I actually wrote about it already back in 2010, but was reminded about it today as the house is now up for sale. More or less everything here is designed by Maliin herself: the architecture of the house, the interiors and some of the furniture. There are loads of creative ideas to be inspired by, starting with the way she has used basic untreated materials like concrete, plywood, MDF and rusty corrugated iron to achieve an original and raw look. Even the old...

When one of my dear readers shared her touching story in the comment section on yesterday's post about the Paris attacks, she ended with "yes, writing about interior design is futile, but it is a proof that we are alive and kicking". You are absolutely right Françoise. So although my thoughts are still elsewhere, life goes on and I will go back to sharing all those futile things that make life more beautiful. Quand l'une de mes chères lectrices a partagé sa touchante histoire hier dans les commentaires du billet sur les attentats parisiens, elle a termine par...

Writing about interior design seems very futile today after the recent events here in Paris. We were lucky, family and friends are all ok, but some friends of friends and too many others did not have the same luck. Last Friday, it could have been me having that drink on Le Carillon's terrace, it could have been my daughter enjoying a concert at Bataclan, it could have been my son cheering for the French football team at Stade de France. It could have been my friends in any of these locations. These are the things we do, these...

Soft and chic, velvet is one of the key materials this season. Mix it with details in shiny brass to achieve a trendy art deco look, or with ethnic elements for a more bohemian style. Below I've selected six pieces of Scandinavian design to be inspired by, from the investment sofa to the more affordable cushion. Doux et chic, le velours est l'une des matières phare de la saison. On le mixe avec des accessoires en laiton brillant pour un côté art déco très tendance, ou avec des éléments éthniques pour un look plus bohème. Ci-dessous j'ai sélectionné...

There are so many things to like about this studio flat: the dark wooden floor, the grey wall (and the fact that the door is painted in the same colour), the mix of design pieces and flea market finds, the picture wall, the black window frames, the cosy sleeping corner... See more pictures here. Enjoy your weekend! We're looking forward to a sunny 20° here in Paris :) November, really? Il y a tellement de choses à aimer dans ce studio: le parquet foncé, le mur gris (et le fait que la porte soit peinte dans la même couleur),...

Remember my bloggers design tour to London last spring? Well there is one place that I haven't told you about yet and that is Heal's. The famous department store was founded by John Harris Heal in 1810, introducing French style feather-filled mattresses to London's homeowners. Today Heal's is a veritable design institution, filled with contemporary furniture and lighting. Vous vous souvenez de mon blog tour design à London au printemps dernier? Et bien, il y un endroit dont je ne vous ai pas encore parlé et c'est Heal's. Ce fameux grand magasin a été fondé en 1810 par John Harris Heal,...
