Finally! The gallery wall in our guestroom urgently needed an update before our summer guests arrive. Last year I quickly hung some art and posters, but it was a mess and the colors didn’t match the warm(er) look I wanted for this room. When installing everything, I didn’t make a plan at all and just Read article…
This post could totally begin with a quote about Spring; new beginnings, freshness, sunshine, longer days, nature that awakens after a long winter… but don’t worry, I’ll try to get to the point without actual clichés, despite the bright spring colors & flowers in this post 😉 A few months ago I was invited to Read article…

Today we kick off the third season of Urban Jungle Bloggers! After a hot and busy summer we are back with a new topic that I like really much: Plants & Art. One of the twenty-seven rooms in our home is my atelier. The plan was to use it as the room where I would Read article…
A few photos from this cool exhibition in Paris that I visited a few weeks ago. Between the presentation of Jean Jullien's work at Colette and the exhibition at l'Imprimerie, it' was hard to miss JJ's colorful bold illustrations in Paris.
