Winter muted colours

I hope you had a nice Christmas with your loved ones. We had the most relaxing Christmas just the 4 of us in Paris followed by a long weekend in Provence. As I am now 30 weeks pregnant (with baby number 3 due early March!) so we decided to take it easy and just do nothing for a week. Heaven.
Here are some muted colours inspired by our stay in Paris and Provence: shades of grey from Paris and touches of muted colours from the South of France.

Christmas spirit

Less than 10 days to go until Christmas! It is going so so fast and so much to do. This is some Christmas inspiration from my Pinterest Christmas board. Oh I love Christmas and how creative one can be around that time of year!

Let's get organized!

The children have started school this morning. They were excited to see their friends again, but it was so difficult to wake up early at 7am. During the Summer we all went to bed late and never woke up before 10am!
I am also happy to be back in my studio to get working on new projects. First off, I'm very keen to re-organise my studio space and to find a way to display some objets that I have randomly put on a corner of a shelf. Last night I was on Pinterest to look for some inspiration. I like this idea of recycling wine wooden boxes, paint them and display all the things I treasure...
