Quirky words and botanical jokes are part of my daily life ever since we started our @urbanjungleblog Instagram account. Twice a day we share the most inspiring homes with plants and the caption can completely change the way everyone looks at a photo.

After a very festive weekend launching our #urbanjunglebook in French (read all about it here!) I visited Maison & Objet on Monday.

There's not a single blogger I know that takes their own pictures who isn't complaining about the light in these dark days before Christmas. It's not ideal, but well… let's hope Christmas will be merry & bright! Our home is slowly getting dressed for Christmas, so I also wanted a new fresh poster on our Read article…
