Bloggers'interiors, part 2

For the part 2 of our serie on French bloggers'deco, I have chosen the bedrooms of the two kids of the blogger Madame chacha .
I love her world, the charm of the old house, small details like the suitcases Lale in her girl's bedroom, the beautiful butterfly which flies over the chandelier and the vintage cupboard in her boy bedroom.
And above all, I just love the XL tree sticker with a garland light above which gives a festive atmosphere of French villages during the Summer!

Blogger's kid bedroom

What's more inspiring than children's rooms from French bloggers!
To begin our serie, here's Anouk's bedroom published on the blog of her poetic mother lilafanfreluche.
Almost everything is home made or from Africa.
The result? A charming concentrate of objects manufactured, sewn or knitted by Anouk grandmother, mum or aunt!
I particularly like the idea of small chalkboards, each with a letter of the child name.

Small summer issue

The new Small magazine issue of the summer has arrived and is available to download here.
As usual the new issue is a great pleasure to discover and read.
First, to travel in the fashion pages so lovely with great bohemian silhouettes that I love so much for children ! It makes me think of the atmosphere of the French designer Antik Batik!



Secondly, to appreciate the work of artists such as Katherine Edmond and Jess Browns, who make great hand-made dolls and their delicate costumes. "They create a beautiful balance between art and play."


Their passion? Natural processes and vintage materials such as French artists like Minilabo or Clemence G!
Their inspiration? Jess wanted the dolls to look like a french rag doll she had seen.
I think she did it!


I am also a big fan of the draws and the atmosphere of the Californian Mati Rose Mcdonough. With her draws the kids will travel in a narrative, poetic and sweet universe !


Finally to enjoy a small project : wonderful birds to create and hang up!
A good way for me to introduce a similar atmosphere than the work from Appoline in Paris im my interior in the USA!

Birds in paradise

Here are two artists that I admire and so do many French blogs and shops:
the English Abigail Brown and the American from NYC Tamar Mogendorff.

The dolls/objects are made by Tamar from linens, wool, Mohair wool, cotton, vintage fabrics, tweed, antique embroidery, pashmina and other fabrics.

Other materials used are antique and vintage buttons, beads, silver thread and old ribons. New items coming every season..

Abigail uses colour, pattern and texture and a visual language which is quirky and playful, reminiscent of a childhood that she holds very dear.

Her work with birds evolved perhaps "because not only are they one of the most beautiful of creatures, so precious, so fragile and yet so animated and so positively bursting with life, but also because they are the most accessible to me", she explains on her website.

"Whether birds, monkeys, cats or elephants, my work centres around animals because they give me comfort, they are truly heart warming, they make me smile...and that is the same reaction I hope merely to evoke in others."

The good news is that Abigail has drawn wall decals for the French brand Poisson bulle I work with... so they should arrive on Comptoir d'enfance this summer.

Spring New look

The Spring issue of the french magazine Le journal de la Maison offers great decoration ideas for a kid bedroom.
It offers some basic elements that I really like for kids interiors : paper lanterns, decorative garlands, mix and match of cushions... for a very fresh result !

You can recognize the great atmosphere by Minilabo available on Comptoir d'enfance with their wall decalls on the vintage wardrobe !
You can click on the picture to have them in a bigger size.

Jack n'a qu'un oeil

Jack n’a qu’un œil, is a new french Brand of nightwear and linens for kids.
The spirit of the collection reflects the universe of childhood, a different style with unusual colors, soft touch and unexpected details.

Having found a lack in the sleepwear and aware of our changing lifestyle, Alexandra and Veronique, two French moms have created a beautiful line of loungewear clothing, for girls, boys and babies from 3 months to 8 years.


They decide to leave the traditional clothing and launch a collection where elegance and comfort are essential.
To visit their universe and see the collection go to their website !
If you are interested by an order this summer contact me with the link to my email on the right.

Spring decoration with Milk

I already talked to you about the beautiful cover of the French Milk magazine Spring issue.
Here is a brief travel into the pages of this latest issue of Milk. I especially love the universe proposed by the co-founder Elisa of the very trendy parisian shop Serendipity, famous for the vintage furniture for kids.

Elisa imagined a poetic universe for a little girl room with vintage furniture and painted in colors of gray, black and plum. To add some touches of colors, she added few creations which I particularly like such as the Kokeshi stickers and the birdhouses from Tamar Mogendorff.



I also love this vintage atmosphere for a boy's room with a draw of New York city on the wall and a fun lamp for a futuristic ambiance.


In Madeline's bedroom design and pop bookshelves from the Conran Shop host the treasures of the child.


Finally with Stephanie Cohen the bedroom becomes a magic tree house for the princesses of the house and granddaughters of the founders of the French brands Bonpoint and Merci.
Designs, garlands and souvenirs of all kinds make a very cute home-made decoration.

La cerise sur le gateau

I already loved her collection, la cerise sur le gateau, the cherry on the cake, and now I love her apartment.
The french TV show Interieurs made a visit of her Parisian apartment this week. A place full of decoration ideas.
Anne Hubert is specialized in the art of customizing french-made household linen.
Enjoy those very girly cushions above on her sofa with fun appliques and a great mix of colors.




Her style in her collections is essentially made of : Fluorescent pink, color contrasts romantic pictures as well as girly references. We find all these details in her interior : great colors, fun ideas, home-made decorations and furniture...

Above two hand-made furniture to store linens for her creations and old magazines...


Here her desk made with an old vintage one and a new piece of wood on the top for more space to work..


And to finish with a quiet bedroom under the roof with a vintage lamp and mirror and a piece of tree trunk painted in white used as a bedside table... plenty of ideas to reproduce at hone !
