Making a Small Space Big : Lessons from This Epic Chicago Pad

January 15, 2024

Happy Monday all ! We’re coming off a real winter scene in Paris but after a week of freezing our asses collectively, I’m looking out today and the sun is out ! Hope is back ! And I have big hopes that by the time Paris Deco Off rolls around (in 2 days) I’ll be warm enough to ditch the ugly winter cozies for some fashionable night outfits ! That’s right, I’m looking at a week filled with cool design, cool people and cool events and I can’t wait ! I’ll be taking you along on Insta stories too so don’t forget to follow along 😘

But, before all that, it’s Monday people, and that means : inspiration time ! Now if you follow a lot of design publications or accounts, you may have gotten a peek at this one, but I have to share for anyone who missed it, because it is gorgeous ! This my friends, is a 700 sq. ft. apartment in Chicago, created, loved and curated to feel like a very inviting and warm home, and boy does it deliver !

Bathing in a lovely masculine palette of cold and elegant tones, Curtis & Danielle brought in a lot of interest with the bold wallpaper, colorful touches, beautiful and unique art, and rounded, eye-catching furniture. The dark colors make the space extra cozy and earthy, and allow the personality touches to really pop against it all. And that yellow fabric piece of art is just incredible – I’m in awe of that dining area ! It’s also creating a very restful vibe despite those wild colors and patterns, which is always an impressive feat. I feel like there’s beautiful slow life happening in those rooms. It’s all gorgeous, the green wallpaper from Otto Studio is so fabulous and I love how the art choices blend. Overall, no notes ! Enjoy the tour 😍

Wild Paris Style : A Big & Unique AirBnb Near Disneyland

January 8, 2024

Happy New Year babies !! 🥳

We are back and we are dancing weirdly around the house ! I hope you had a lovely break, funky gifts and a fun time for New Years. Because of the strange calendar this year, we were still on vacation until today here in Paris – on my end it was a time surrounded by tissues and coughing up my lungs, from what I saw on Instagram, I wasn’t the only one drinking tea at NY party …
but it’s finally over and I have to say my New Year optimism is at an all-time high, which never happens.
So I’m feeling good, inspired and ready to crush this January thing. Anyone with me on this ?

In the spirit of this, we’re starting strong this year with a little AirBnb gem discovered by accident : a huge 14-guest home near Paris, complete with 5 rooms, a pool, jacuzzi, full bar and two terraces. It’s way out there, with a color and a theme for each room, and it really caught my eye. Now to be fair I don’t love all of it so this is a selection of the rooms I found inspiring, but you can check out the full property for yourself here on AirBnb. I had to include it here for the living & dining room alone, you know I love me some green rooms ! What do you think, would you stay in this funky house ?

Big things are happening on the design front, I’m waiting for photos of one of last year’s big projects and I’ll be able to share veeery soon, the excitement is high over here so keep an eye out for that ! I’m also finishing up some work in my apartment and will finally be able to share the upgrade. Lots of exciting stuff coming.
2024 – let’s do this !!

Have a great week !
