A little treehouse


It's back to school time! For her first day of school, Celeste has got a new little nest nicely decorated by her mom Morgane.
It's a blend of the latest trends in French decoration and home-made furniture for a very cozy interior!
First  of her good choices the wallpaper with a retro feel by ISAK.


The alcove and the cupboards were made by her father ... very handy! Maybe he will inspire some others!
A small blue mushroom lamp grew on a shelf.
Inside the alcove the bed is from AMPM, from the same collection that the pink bookshelves.

The other walls are painted with "embruns" (Dulux Valentine) and highlight the small school desk.
Small garlands fly here and there.


The small tepee from Petit Collin creates a corner where the dolls have also their beautiful furniture.

No one has been forgotten in this fairy bedroom and certainly not Celeste!

Maison et objet Fair


This week was held in Paris, Maison et Objet fair, one of the most popular and expected fair in French decoration. An opportunity for me to find some of my favorite artists and discover some new features.
Thanks to the French bloggers fee maison, lao sur la colline and Marie-claire maison I could visit some stands on their blogs!
The very good surprise in the children section  is the new collection of  furniture by la chaise longue as this little school desk in light wood and metal painted in pastel shades ... an excellent value for those who, like me, have not the courage to fix a previous model found in a flea market.
Another good surprise was to realize that the furniture from  Laurette, that I could admire at the Parisian showroom of AIRDEJE last summer, had their own stand. 
A great opportunity to admire her collection of furniture inspired by the 40s, 50s with poetic names such as "Buffet gourmand", "Parisian wardrobe "" trailer bed "or" bedside secrets".
Fine furniture still in the retro spirit also with the famous brand Bonton.
In each collection you will find a bed, a highchair, a changing table in a variety of colors always punctiliously chosen: bright red, delicate violet, light gray or dark brown ... it is easy to find a hit from the wide choice.

Mimilou Stand is always joyful with animals, little stars and bubbles wall decals licately pasted on the walls and lit by beautiful paper lanterns. 

Cushions and blankets with retro prints and shimmering colors filled the shelves from  Petit Pan and sumptuous fabrics brought from India were covering the sofas at Lisa Corti corner.




Finally, for the parents, I particularly like the lighting in Japanese paper by Adeline Klam or made with wool from Non Jetable.
A vintage spirit for kids and Environmental concerns mixed with design for a zen decoration for the parents : all that I like!

New fall atmosphere at Bonton bazar

Last year the trendy brand Bonton, launched by the ex-owner of Bonpoint, opened a second "concept store" in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, called "the Bazar'. I visited it last summer and enjoyed the different decors.
A liberty print bedroom for girls, a soft grey for boys and the great paper lanterns by Appolline in Paris to light the house.

I also like the colorful kitchen decor.

And I have great news : a New collection of Bonton will appear this fall : Papillon by Bonton more classical with sweet cashmere, tweed for a soft winter !

Origami by Fifi


Our favorite French designer for stationery, Fifi Mandirac, has posted on her blog great ideas of origamis that can be turned in decoration objects.
Let's make decorative garlands, small bowls, to storage all our little things in the kitchen, in the bathroom or on a desk, and paper beads to make “the less expensive-necklace-of-the-world”! Not to forget the colorful windmills.

For the windwills all her explanations are here, for the beads it's here and the bowls there. For the others, you can find many explanations on the internet!

The french Magazine Art and decoration also devotes its September issue to the bedrooms of children ... Enough to fill up with ideas for a little shopping!
I love that retro atmosphere mixed with design and the gray and pastel pink on the walls. Good ideas: the stickers from Mimilou above the desk and the girafe silhouette sticker from Inke.


For the boys Babar adds his punchy colors for a fun and invigorating atmosphere.


Colors also strongly tonic that corner office minimalist but very trendy and that suits the grown up!

Vintage Spirit still works in children bedroom especially when wood, steel and iron are mixed with tonic colors of textiles from Petit Pan.


For little princesses a magical castle with the beautiful starry canopy, dragonflies from Les invasions ephemeres that fly on the wall and romantic furniture.
This amazing bed should carry your little one faster to the land of dreams! to get a similar one, you can visit the beautiful Parisian boutique Les curieuses plenty of treasures for kids !
