Not one, but two talented people I've interviewed in the past ten days (Ezz and Émilie) have cited Audrey Rivet as one of their favourite Instagram accounts. A coincidence? I headed off to take a peek and came to the conclusion it definitely was not! Audrey is a Montreal based content creator and graphic designer who loves "looking at life through beige-tinted, vintage glasses". Her posts cover latest fashion finds, hip Montreal hangouts and snapshots of her relaxed, apartment - all of which follow under the same beige-tinted umbrella! I thought I'd share some lovely snapshots of her Hochelaga-Maisonneuve home which she shares with boyfriend Francoise and two cats Barb (yes, she has an instagram account all of her own - she's a kitty cat star in the making!) and Victor (a little more shy). Enjoy the tour!
"I really love every interior design that has modern and old/vintage
elements mixed up. I think that way we can have the best of both worlds
and add a warm touch to a modern house. My favourite vintage style is Art
Déco."

What a lovely space! The brown and white palette is so simple, yet so warm and inviting feel.
And just how pretty are her curious cats?!
Is there anything you love in particular about Audrey's home?
You can keep up to date with Audrey's latest projects here and discover more inspiration here.
Oh, and it would be rude not to share a few other Canadian homes to enjoy over the weekend, after all - there are so many fabulous ones! Don't miss Émilie Desjarlais' lovely home, Canadian Little Nicki's relaxed, bohemian home and a small, but very inspiring studio in Montreal.
Right, I think that's it from me this week! I'll be stopping in on Sunday to share some pictures of the one thing I miss from home right now (we're currently travelling around the West coast - which I'm covering on stories) - can you guess what it is?!!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

PS I have to say I'm slightly nervous about the England vs Sweden world cup match tomorrow, it's going to be a little intense in our house - eeeek! I'm feeling quite outnumbered over here must say! I loved the UK metro's headline today: 'send them flat-packing' - brilliant! May the best men win!
The transcribe on the right was given to Audrey by a friend. It was a print draft for a screen print event which was never intended to be used. I think it looks lovely on her office wall and am so curious to know what it says - can anyone translate it?!
"I am inspired by everything related to art, design and fashion. I find happiness in
discovering new artists, new inspiring people, new creative spaces… and
also in finding beauty within ugliness and obsolete things."

Cute apartment and even cuter cats!
ReplyDeleteI love her cats too! So cute!
DeleteI love the little easel on the desk. And the cats, too, obvs.
ReplyDeleteThe desk top easel is great! I even went in search for some after I saw it (there are a few vintage ones on Etsy).
DeleteGreat apartment, and that Barb. What a deer in the headlights look!
ReplyDeleteAnd send them flat-packing? That's brilliant!
