If you ask me to name some people I admire most in the online world, Gabrielle Blair (Design Mom) comes to my mind instantaneously. The way Gabrielle organises her life as a business woman and a mother of six is a constant source of inspiration to me. Gabrielle not only runs one of the world’s most successful parenting blogs; she also comes up with new and innovative business ideas and makes them into a success (check out Kirtsy and AltSummit). Her courage and energy to re-locate her family to France for a few years and soak in the culture and diversity of this side of the pond is amazingly inspiring! Also — she always looks beautiful and pulled together, and is so caring and fun — what a woman!
Today, Gabrielle features my (very full) house on her blog in her ‘Living with Kids‘ series. I’m so flattered! If you would like to have a look, you can do so here.

Hi Pilar, I will keep that in mind! I love Sevilla and would love to show it to my kids one day. xxx
Wow, I love your house! I’m going to borrow some of your ideas
Absolutely loved all of this, Esther. Your words, your outlook on parenthood and life, your contentment, your gorgeously personal home…. Loved it! 🙂
Awww, thank you! x
So lovely to see the MoochicBaby turtle quilt on Ava’s bed and I absolutely love your home! Thanks for sharing xx
Your home is my favourite!!! And these photos are so gorgeous. I feel inspired to spruce up my house and (try to) make it cute like yours! xxx
Would you mind telling me where you got that Le Cirque Poster from? I love it and it would look perfect in my daughters room!
Thank you!
Hi Linda, it’s a ‘Petit Bateau’ advertising poster of a few years ago… xxx
Stunning rooms, I would love to know the make of the bed? Pretty please x
Hi Jenna, thank you! Do you mean Ava’s bed? We got that over 8 years ago in when we lived in London, and painted it white. I’m sure a similar bed is still available… if you search for ‘toddler bed’? xxx
Thanks Esther, funny enough I was walking around Target in Australia today and there was a bed very similar. Love it xx
That’s great!! (I love it too!) xxx
