Famille Summerbelle

Paris Family Style

A very big THANK YOU/MERCI to Edition Paumes for asking us to be part of their new book Paris Family Style. I have previously mentioned their Children's room London, Stockholm and Paris on the blog. It is a real pleasure discover the homes of creative Parisian families (Petit Pan, Olivesle, The Collection, April Showers just to mention a few)

Thank you so much to stylist Sian Williams and photographer Bridget Pierson who came to visit us few months back and also a big thank you to the Marie Claire team in London!So this is our home near Paris...

Papier Maché Déco supplément

My favorite online magazine Papier Maché has just released a Déco supplement of Children's rooms and it has been illustrated by the talented Laura Callaghan.
The contributors are designers like Apolline à Paris, Morghan from Little Circus, Allison at Larkmark, Famille Summerbelle (well Ophelia's bedroom) and many more.
You can download it from their website Papier Maché for just $3.
At the end of the PDF mag you have a long list of the best online kids shops selected by the team of Papier Maché and sorted by categories:Walls, Deco, Furniture, Unique...It's worth every penny!

Easy Living

We've been very spoiled by the UK mag Easy Living over the past 2 months. We've been featured twice which is very exciting.
I'm mentioning on the article the accessories that we use on a daily basis (the Imac for designing, the Babycook steamer when Ophelia was little, the radio...) or when we were traveling: the kids headphones for Ophelia, the Iphone to check our email and work while away, the Canon camera to take pictures of the products or for the blog...

Thank you (part two).

More overwhelming nice things about Famille Summerbelle in the press and in the blogging world.
THANK YOU to
Anne at Pret a Voyager for your interview about FS World Tour.

Karine at Bodie and Fou for your interview about the everyday life at FS.

Design*Sponge

A huge THANK YOU to the lovely Anne at Design Sponge for inviting us to feature our new home in D*S Sneak Peek.

Interview

Thanks to Jenny at Little Big Magazine for interviewing us on our World Tour. You can read the article here.

Also sorry for not posting anything this week, we've been in Paris trying to find a home to live. I forgot how much paper work you need to provide and how complicated the administrative procedure is in France. Let's hope it will be worth the headaches!
We will be coming to London very often for work (weekly for Simon). We still love the place and all our friends are there. We are also very excited to get a new life in Paris to get closer to more friends and my family. It will be a nice change after 10 years in London for me. Simon is even more excited to improve his French.
We're back tomorrow in the UK to prepare for Kids Modern show next weekend. I hope you can come if you live in London (it's in Dulwich).

That's it! we're back in the UK, but with this horrible weather we haven't been able to put one foot outside of the house. It's literally pouring with rain!
