An inspiring French home with bold colour and patterns

Well hello there Friday! I can't tell you how happy I am to see you! It's been one crazy week over here - how's yours been?! The good news is, the weekend's just around the corner AND I've got an incredible home tour to share with you. Sabrina and Quentin drew on the help of  the talented team at Royal Roulotte to turn their Parisien apartment into a 'warm, happy home that promotes exchange family life and simplicity.... and neat with a little madness.' The result is a home full of beautiful rich colours, bold patterns and yet plenty of room to breath. What better way to celebrate the weekend?!

What an incredible space?! The rich colours, the patterns, the way it combines clean and contemporary with a relaxed and lived-in feel. Magnifique!


A guide to a few of the lovely items in Sabrina and Quentin's home: sitting room - copper pendant light by Tom Dixon, floral wallpaper, kitchen - Signal wall lights, Nespresso coffee machine. dining area - tulip chair, DSW chairs. children's room - source a mid-century credenza here.

I'm such a big fan of Royal Roulotte's work - you may also recognise the name from this fabulous home and this kitchen project.

And that's it for me for the week, all that's left to do is wish you a wonderful weekend! I hope it's full of love, laughter and the all important 'hygge' feel!

See you Monday!

A home of a collector in rich, warm tones

I love finding beautiful new Instagram feeds to follow, don't you? Last week I stumbled across Theo Bert Pot and what a find! - are you familiar with him?!  Based in the Netherlands, Theo Bert is the founder of The Nice Stuff Collector blog, which is centered around his love for beautiful things in the form of 'books, vases, friendship, furniture, good food, dishes, photography, graphic prints, family and much more'. His home has been decorated in a plethora of rich, warm tones, and as you can imagine, full of beautiful collectors items. Step inside....

The colours in this home are just so beautiful, don't you think? I love the deep greens, dusty pinks and ochre hues. Theo Bert has put us out of our misery by including a colour section on his blog outlining all the details of the tones he's used. I know. He's a great guy.

A few items I love:  Ligne Roset Togo sofa in velvet green (love!), natural linen curtains (by the half yard), vintage Beni Ourain rug, DCW chair, the grasshopper lamp is similar (anyone know the lamp featured?), sheepskin throw.

The blanket over the bed reminds me of one I saw in an incredible home we photographed for my 
next book. The homeowner had bought a batch of vintage Norwegian army blankets. Such a clever idea as they're interesting, lovely to look at and super warm! You can find vintage army blankets here.

Interested in more lovely homes which have ventured over to the dark side today? How about this sophisticated Swedish home in lovely rich tones, an elegant home in black and navy and a fabulous grey Australian home.

Have a lovely day!
