Our family bathroom -- renovation details and final photos
We've moved into our new home! After three months of renovations, we are in, mostly unpacked and feeling settled. It feels beyond wonderful to have our own home again and to be able to put our stamp on all the little nooks and corners. And there is something about this house that just feels so ...

Tips for decorating a teen girl's bedroom from Bodie and Fou
My friend Karine from Bodie and Fou got in touch last week to share her recent before-and-after renovation project of her daughter, Mila's bedroom. Mila is the same age as my eldest (and she's also really into surfing!) so it's always interesting for me to see the girl version of twelve years old. (I often marvel ...

I have been spending my year renovating my flat and it has been exhausting, exhilarating, tiring and also energising at the same time. After being in the new flat for a couple of months now, we are starting to settle in. But every morning I wake up with new ideas and plans - some of ...

The flap between my girls' rooms
Renovating a flat has been a fun, if a bit stressful event in my life. I had no idea how all consuming it was going to be. I spent nights pinning on Pinterest, researching flats in every corner of the world, searching for inspiration and checking out every possible Ikea hack there was in the ...

Christmas in Australia...
The other day I was in the grocery store and I saw a big banner with an image of sliced, juicy mangos. In red Christmassy writing the banner said 'The Taste of Christmas'. I had to stop myself from giggling. Having spent all of my life in the northern hemisphere, the taste of Christmas is ...

A painted square as a backdrop for cards, photos, (kids) art...
A while ago we painted a very dark green square on our living room wall, with the idea to use it to display all sorts of pretty little things: drawings from the children, autumn leaves, our activity advent calendar, a collection of plates or framed art... Things we feel are meaningful and which we like ...

Beautiful, handcrafted furniture from Kalon Studios

They struggled to find a crib that met their needs in terms of design and sustainability, so they decided to create their own. Within a year of creating that first crib, Kalon was winning ...

I was brought up in Germany, so recycling is in my DNA. We had at least 4 different bins in front of our house, one for general trash, one for plastic and paper, one for glass and one for organics. It was a massive shock when I moved to Paris as recycling is way, way ...

But living in this beautiful city of Paris is amazing: we walk everywhere, the city is full of life and stimulation, we live in a vibrant neighbourhood and the mix of different people from different walks of life is incredible.

I love this Maria — you are so creative!! Thinking outside the box — I love it. And loving the results as well. xxx
What a lovely idea!
It makes it feel like you’re inside one of those little tents made of quilts, draped over the dining room chairs, that we used to make as kids.
Love this!
Babies spend so much of their time lying on their backs staring up at the ceiling… so how nice for them to have something nice to look at!! xxx
For a little baby lying all the time it’s great idea!
Love this!! Xo
