Milk interiors

I was waiting to read it since I saw an update on it in French blogs. I realized this week-end that I could download it here : the French Milk Deco magazine new issue.
It was worth waiting!
For this one, journalists traveled to visit family interiors in Paris, London, New York, Amsterdam, Tokyo...
From top to bottom above : a beautiful custom bed in Amsterdam in a bright bedroom where butterflies fly on the blue walls.
To admire in the design section of the magazine, this beautiful wall decor with a birdhouse lamp from Inke in a vintage Wall paper Tree.
To find great beds, the magazine went to Soho where the girls of a design book authors enjoy a big Indonesian bed and to Tokyo where kids still sleep on traditional futons.


And to finish with, these so Parisian atmospheres with hunt soft toys for the son of French Antik Batik designer,


and lovely antique finds for kids bedrooms in the Marais area in Paris,



Good news: The Milk team is working on a collection of deco issues. So now I just have to wait for the next one.

Cute Christmas Card

I already admired her ideas for holidays cards last year on her blog.
This year she has made a beautiful card easy to print. Enjoy!
The little sentence says in French 'Close your eyes and make a wish'...

Home made ornaments

Now that your christmas is ready, it's time to get some inspiration to add some home made ornaments and have holidays workshops with your kids. Have a look at these Martha Stewart great ideas.
I really liked these ones easy to made...
First she reminds us that the basic technique for all the ornaments is to bend a pipe cleaner in half and twist once at the top for a loop.
Enjoy first above this home made mobile, crafted from cookies turned in a simple, pretty decoration.
You can buy some wooden decorations and let your kids covered them with tinsel and glitter.

Colorful stray buttons can also be used as Christmas ornaments. Time to sort your old buttons...

And what a great idea: Use inexpensive aluminum cutters and turn them in ornaments.
Happy Holidays!

French kids interior

Let's be inspired by the interior made by the owner of the french brand Les petites emplettes for hers girls. I like the lights garlands under the bed.
The pictures were published in the october issue of the very trendy french magazine Milk.
Now that it's Xmas time you have lights garlands everywhere. So buy some and put them everywhere in the house.
They will bring light and joy during winter time.

Let's also be inspired by all the home made ideas in this bedroom : the cardboard tree, the wall to draw, the cute baby plaid by Petit Pan for a touch of color, the bed headboard with cute curtains...

They found some beautiful ideas in French magazines.
Enjoy this cute decoration with paper gifts just on the floor like shining towers. Be inspired by these two home-made Avent calendars to put some little surprises in them each day before Christmas.

Parisian interiors

I already told you about the apartment that I love in Paris from the owner of Bonton,the Bonpoint little brother, Irene Cohen.
She has made for her kids rooms a mix of home made creations and beautiful pieces such as the decorative kites from Petit Pan. Published in the october issue of the very trendy Milk, these pictures of her interior give us a lot of ideas to be inspired :
Cute letters with the name of your child covered by a mix and match of colors,
A commode covered by Wall paper (here from the english Cath Kidston),
Your princess'favorite costume hanged up on the wall,
a feast garland to celebrate everyday...
so cute, so personal, so unique french style..

Cute animals from Clemence G arrived

The cute owls and hens designed by Clemence G arrived from Paris to Comptoir d'enfance. They are just perfect to follow your little one everywhere. They can also be used as a decorative cushion. Because of their handmade nature, each one is completely unique and different.
Clemence G, a Parisian designer, is known for its beautiful hand-made pieces. Your little ones will love her cute animals with their mixed colors and fabrics. Each piece is unique so do not wait!

Fifi Mandirac at home

Great deco pages in the french Elle magazine this week !
The journalists visited the house of one of my favorite Parisian artist, Fifi Mandirac.
l already loved her stationery, now I love her home atmosphere.
Bright colors,
the "luco" red chairs from Fermob in the garden that make me think of the jardin du Luxembourg in Paris,
a bohemian touch with embroidered cushions in the living room,
a touch of vintage with my favorite Eames chairs in the dining room


a touch of personnal decoration with tea boxes and colored items found in the flea markets that brighten up the kitchen,
some light garlands and hand-made decorations .... such as these flowers cut in her stationery then put in the potted grass ...

She even found these cute women hangers in San Francisco!
To find its whole collection of stationery, go to my little boutique Comptoir denfance
