Spring time !

My best friend will tell me again that I have only inspiration for little girls but it is spring !
And at this period of the year I want more than ever pink for my interior. the author of the french blog Lilafanfreluche seems to be in the same mood when I look at this picture from her album.
I like the poetic atmosphere of this bedroom. And it will be easy to find the same furniture at Ikea. If you want to "cover" a furniture with nice linen, you should go to Anthropologie. They have some beautiful embroidered dishtowels from the new collection which will make lovely sheets for a doll bed, a nice cover for a cushion or a furniture.

A visit of Tricia Guild interior

Designer of the english brand Designers Guild, Tricia Guild is the one who knows how to mix colors and patterns. The french deco tv Show "Interieurs" has made the visit of her London home. And... the video is online here.
It's in French but you will just love it if you already like her turquoise, Parma, anise from her collections.
Since the entrance, shimmering greens welcome you.

In the living room, Design chairs are covered with her beautiful fabrics. Embroidered and Indian-inspired cushions flourish the sofa.

The kitchen / dining room overlooks the garden. This great garden, so lucky she is to have one in London, has taken the atmosphere of the Parisian Luxembourg with the Fermob chairs.
The garden also comes into the house with the flowers throughout the house.

Finally her office is a very personal place because it has on its shelves all the objects that she loves and inspire her.

Watch with pleasure this little guided tour available on line.

Vintage furniture for spring

Do you want to flourish a little ahead before spring your interior ?

Just recover with wall papers vintage furniture left in a corner of the basement or found at the last flea market.

Look at this beautiful chair of the french blog "Dans ma roulotte". Its author is an expert in the art of recycling!

A clips holder !

I've always wondered how to storage my girls hair clips. I just found the solution today on Kelli's blog
Two solutions for me now. I am a lazy mom or too much occupied in writing some posts and managing the shop and order the whole thing : the cute hair clips and the holder.
Or I make it myself simply with a cork board that I just bought at Target, in the one dollar section, and add ribbons !

Retro kids

Let's have a look at the retro kid group on flickr. They are interested in illustrated children's books from the mid-1940's through the mid-1960's, give or take a few years. As long as it has that cool, mid-century modern stylized look that was so popular during that time. They are not limiting to just children's books, but also anything that was illustrated for kids at that time: albums, 45's, commercials, magazine ads, games, toys, etc. Their purpose ? If it's retro, and it looks cool, let's see it!
