The perfect blend of modern and traditional in a Paris home

Hello! I hope you're having a great start to the week? We're back in Sweden and the snow (shock to the system after the soaring heat of Sri Lanka! - not to mention the start of the working week!). But the good news is, I've got a home tour that is set to put a smile on all our faces! It comes in the form of the fab Parisian home of Morgane Sézalory - founder and designer at Sézane the first online French fashion brand. Clients are invited to try on the collections in 'The Apartment' (now that's what I call my kind of changing room!). Morgane's private home is the perfect blend of modern and traditional which is both relaxed and stylish. I sense a touch of Scandinavian influence too. Yay!

Photography: Hervé Goluza - shared with kind permission. Found via French by Design with thanks. 

What a truly lovely home, don't you think?! Relaxed, personal and homely. It's really brightened up my day!

Get the look: this lovely blue velvet mid-century chair is very similar, House Doctor floor lamp and rug, source a vintage Japanese cast iron teapot here, or a new one here. Keep an eye out for an industrial table lamp here and pom poms here.

Other spaces with a mid-century touch I love today include the fab home of Natalie Myers, an LA pad (one of my favourite homes!) and a beautiful Swedish space.

Have a wonderful start to the week!

A serene Swedish space with pretty pastels

It's starting to feel a lot like spring in this lovely Swedish apartment. Floaty linens, soft pastels, the double doors to the balcony thrown open and a pot of tea waiting to be enjoyed. What a perfect home to welcome in the first weekend of March, don't you think?!

Sadly these photos have been seperated from their owner - does anyone know the photographer / stylist / source so I can pair them up once again? 

What a dreamy space!

Get the look: rattan chair, round vintage stool (absolutely love this vintage milking stool too), Thonet chairs, rag rugs (especially loving this handmade teal one, buy beautiful linen by the metre here, source a dream catcher here. Storage baskets.

Other homes full of the joys of spring include this lovely Dutch home and a fab green and cognac space.

More Friday finds:

Don't miss Jeska's lapland trip part I and part II - something for early spring perhaps?!

Ten best office spaces.

Latest rug shop find - Semikah Textiles (this isn't sponsored - I'm just spreading a little Friday love as the textiles are divine!).

The nicest children's classroom I've ever seen.

I haven't seen a sofa in this colour for years - and I kind of like it, how about you?

We're leaving colonial Templeberg Villa today. Time to fly home to Sweden after three amazing weeks in Sri Lanka. What a wonderful country - the people, the scenery and the culinary delights. We'll be back!

Have a wonderful weekend!
