So here is a selection of my Parisian moments... The highlights of my trip were a tour of Paris monuments and shop-hopping with my friend <a href="http://frenchbydesign.blogspot.com/2011/07/house-tour-claire-karim.html">Claire</a> in her shinny cherry red <a href="http://www.vespa.com/">Vespa</a> [priceless], a sunny Sunday five-hour-walk with my mom in the French capitale [keyword : sneakers], spending some good time with my dear friend Anne Marie who came to visit from Aix en Provence, Maison et Objets and discovering a couple of awesome shops [I will tell you more about it soon], meeting with two awesome ladies and fellow bloggers, <a href="http://lamaisondannag.blogspot.com/">Anna</a>, whom I already knew from a <a href="http://frenchbydesign.blogspot.com/2011/05/3-bloggers-in-paris.html">previous trip</a>, and <a href="http://casalil.blogs.marieclairemaison.com/">Lau</a>, who is just as fresh and spontaneous as her <a href="http://casalil.blogs.marieclairemaison.com/">lovely blog</a>. And of course, meeting with <a href="http://frenchbydesign.blogspot.com/2012/01/on-my-way-back-from-paris.html">Paris</a>, my all time secret lover...<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;

It is actually the Parisian living room of famous and highly talented designer&nbsp;<a href="http://www.paolanavone.it/">Paola Navone</a>. Can you imagine sitting in a sofa like this?

I brought back lots of pics and new crushes, but unfortunately, I also brought back with me a nasty little flu bug that kept me in bed almost all weekend :-(<br />So while I recover from my French cold, here is a lovely Parisian interior I discovered through <a href="http://www.marionalberge.com/">Marion Alberge</a>, a French stylist I truly admire....<br /><br />Muriel lives in Porte de St Ouen, Paris. She remodeled an old apartment into a light filled open space loft. Walls have been painted white, oak floors sanded, color accents added throughout the flat. What a lovely and welcoming interior!<br /><br />{Photos <a href="http://www.cyrillerobin.com/">Cyrille Robin</a> - Styled by <a href="http://www.marionalberge.com/">Marion Alberge</a> and <a href="http://www.peinturedeco.com/">Muriel Cibot</a>}<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3kX3rqMMXU/TybUu7RJ0LI/AAAAAAAAIdA/1rbSmz-Q3c4/s1600/muriel2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--3kX3rqMMXU/TybUu7RJ0LI/AAAAAAAAIdA/1rbSmz-Q3c4/s640/muriel2.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4f4uMK9JVw/TybUvhxPwKI/AAAAAAAAIdI/h6vXE9iJL-Q/s1600/muriel3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y4f4uMK9JVw/TybUvhxPwKI/AAAAAAAAIdI/h6vXE9iJL-Q/s640/muriel3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FtCt9O7m3EA/TybUwNV4QLI/AAAAAAAAIdQ/rIHPy0TBZys/s1600/muriel4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FtCt9O7m3EA/TybUwNV4QLI/AAAAAAAAIdQ/rIHPy0TBZys/s640/muriel4.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a4sADePVFsA/TybUuLj4_uI/AAAAAAAAIc4/G1IvmLteDdk/s1600/muriel1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a4sADePVFsA/TybUuLj4_uI/AAAAAAAAIc4/G1IvmLteDdk/s640/muriel1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dtA7MO1Vqzw/TybUw0AQxiI/AAAAAAAAIdY/tD9mzU0lkiI/s1600/muriel5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dtA7MO1Vqzw/TybUw0AQxiI/AAAAAAAAIdY/tD9mzU0lkiI/s640/muriel5.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hEOgvIiHn_g/TybUxlQAqMI/AAAAAAAAIdg/AFvbnneSlWc/s1600/muriel6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hEOgvIiHn_g/TybUxlQAqMI/AAAAAAAAIdg/AFvbnneSlWc/s640/muriel6.jpg" width="640" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s4kcyWINgrw/TybUyvetnTI/AAAAAAAAIdo/pEOXLX91wJM/s1600/muriel7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s4kcyWINgrw/TybUyvetnTI/AAAAAAAAIdo/pEOXLX91wJM/s640/muriel7.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J200rxMJibk/TybUzVB8dBI/AAAAAAAAIdw/bt635zHB-ao/s1600/muriel8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J200rxMJibk/TybUzVB8dBI/AAAAAAAAIdw/bt635zHB-ao/s640/muriel8.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-3065421432554811112?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-53650401185049762542012-01-30T09:10:00.000-05:002012-01-30T09:10:01.226-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8CCF2OIOHQg/TyWGbo4RsLI/AAAAAAAAIbo/FqMI1og_LOk/s1600/quote+peterson+frenchbydesign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8CCF2OIOHQg/TyWGbo4RsLI/AAAAAAAAIbo/FqMI1og_LOk/s1600/quote+peterson+frenchbydesign.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-5365040118504976254?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-39638499379171435602012-01-27T10:01:00.000-05:002012-01-27T10:01:01.391-05:00Hey there!

I am beyond excited, no need to say. And because I can not take you with me [*sigh*], I will try to keep in touch through the FrenchByDesign <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/FrenchByDesign/119410551456500">Facebook page</a> with freshly taken pictures that I upload whenever I get an internet signal. But I also prepared in advance a few blog posts for you - all around the theme of Paris and traveling - so be sure to check back here regularly while I am gone. As you know, I have a thing for old pics, so be prepared for some cool shots of Paris I gathered for you. That way, you'll somehow be traveling with me.<br />I will miss you, truly. But I'll back soon with lots of pictures to share with you and fully charged with creative interior design ideas. I promise. Bises - one on each cheek, the French way ;-) - , Si-<br /><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y0GqNRFC5DA/TxQrTGHn5DI/AAAAAAAAIZ0/zwcDPwdjjEI/s1600/paris+frenchbydesign3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y0GqNRFC5DA/TxQrTGHn5DI/AAAAAAAAIZ0/zwcDPwdjjEI/s1600/paris+frenchbydesign3.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo <a href="http://www.allangrant.com/">Allan Grant</a>, 1950</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-2686462907250810702?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-56610739651348923922012-01-18T09:41:00.001-05:002012-01-18T09:59:10.879-05:00Beautiful ad spot by <a href="http://www.eurorscg.com/flash/index.html#/?id=default">BETC Euro RSCG</a> ad agency, called l'Envol [transl.

Unfortunately, I am not sure I will be internet connected at all times, so I don't plan on posting much while I am there [I will update my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/FrenchByDesign/119410551456500">Facebook page</a> with freshly taken pictures whenever I find a decent internet signal] but don't expect regular postings. Rest assured I will catch up with you when I'm back [I'll tell you all about my Maison &amp; Objets 2012 exhibition discoveries and product crushes!]. Oh, Paris, I am coming, and I can hardly wait to see you!

Special crush on the distressed leather belts used as magazine pile makers. I had seen the idea of organizing piles of books or magazines with canvas or heavy duty straps, but never with rescued belts. Cool recycling idea. While we're at it, this wallpaper is growing on me [on one wall maybe in an all white room!], and no need to say that I love the wall storage cubbies.

This spacious and light filled loft spotted on Habitania Magazine is the home of Barbara, an Italian architect living in Barcelona, Spain. I am in love with the original antique window shutters, and love how Barbara mixed some flea market finds [did you see the wooden letterpress drawers as wall artwork pieces?], classic design pieces and Ikea furniture to give her space a true personality.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

After some renovations - check out the gorgeous wooden floors that were stripped and left in their natural hue - Mélanie added some colors and texture thanks to the treasures she brought back from her numerous travels. I am loving the ethnic touches here and there that give this home a true personality. Love, love, love.

But not this Monday. Because this week, school is off and the holiday vibe hit the house [<i>insert "falalala" background melody</i>]. As we're getting ready to build gingerbread houses and prepare <a href="http://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_sables-de-noel-ausstecherle_33325.aspx">sablés de Noel</a>&nbsp;with the girls, I am loving this all concrete kitchen - special crush on the wine totems on the back wall.

This bedroom achieves a minimalist look, yet it is part of a 25 square meter flat - [270 ft²] in the heart of Paris. If you look closer, you'll notice that the bed disappears in the wall if needed [so fully extended it's a bed, half hidden, it becomes a day bed, and fully in, it's an empty space!], thanks to a raised floor behind the added drywall that stores what's not to be seen. Proof that creativity and ingenuity are what's important in interior design [and that architects and interior designers can really make wonders - this space is the work of <a href="http://www.doubleg.fr/">Double G</a> agency in Paris].

Well, it turns out that the interior I had a crush on and showed you some pictures of was no less than <a href="http://frenchbydesign.blogspot.com/2010/10/at-home-with-jacqueline-morabito.html">Jacqueline Morabito</a>'s interior design work. While browsing through my <a href="http://www.cotemaison.fr/">Cote Sud</a> magazine, I instantly recognized the shots from <a href="http://www.martinmorrell.com/site/index.html">Martin Morell</a>.

What a clever idea to reuse<a href="http://usa.hermes.com/"> Hermès</a> packaging boxes as photo storage files [and how lucky to be able to have purchased so many items from Hermès, one of my favorite French luxury brands].<br />Let's not mention the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges-Eug%C3%A8ne_Haussmann">Haussmannian</a> features of the bedroom: high ceiling, wooden wall moldings and chevron wooden floors.

I had the chance to discover her interior by browsing through the pages of <a href="http://www.plazainterior.se/new/">Plaza Interiör</a>, a Swedish magazine that my other half brought me back from his latest business trip to Sweden.<br />Kristina's home is so colorful, happy, airy that it feels like spring in there, don't you think? I love how she used white as a "blank canvas" for all the colorful accessories she collects. And this bright yellow in the kids' room, how sunny is that!

Cheaper than the real deal and so much more fun. Remember my post about&nbsp;<a href="http://frenchbydesign.blogspot.com/2011/11/more-of-chez-moi.html">going crazy with the sharpie pen</a>? Well, it turns out I am not the only one with this crazy idea. Better off, some pros give here a lesson that with a white wall, a sharpened pencil or sharpie pen and a good dose of creativity, you can be your own Picasso. And remember, don't freak out, as long as you have a leftover can of the wall paint [always test that it is still usable before starting your project], covering up your Picasso moment is as easy as a fresh coat of paint. Fun, fun, fun I tell you!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EV90SMxsaL8/TslNt15W73I/AAAAAAAAIBs/uaAPvlQDhf4/s1600/drawing10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EV90SMxsaL8/TslNt15W73I/AAAAAAAAIBs/uaAPvlQDhf4/s640/drawing10.jpg" width="480" /></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RT_RUIJlv98/TslNr-ESmWI/AAAAAAAAIBc/9yoS-fUXlgE/s1600/drawing+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RT_RUIJlv98/TslNr-ESmWI/AAAAAAAAIBc/9yoS-fUXlgE/s640/drawing+7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fTCxkRWnHv8/TslWdiP7XXI/AAAAAAAAICE/CFYspxdkXco/s1600/drawing33.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fTCxkRWnHv8/TslWdiP7XXI/AAAAAAAAICE/CFYspxdkXco/s640/drawing33.jpg" width="490" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qfgJcV8Fx-4/TslJRuUyB_I/AAAAAAAAIBM/RgF4SQue5UA/s1600/drawing4+desiretoinspire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qfgJcV8Fx-4/TslJRuUyB_I/AAAAAAAAIBM/RgF4SQue5UA/s640/drawing4+desiretoinspire.jpg" width="424" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PiwfrIALH4U/TslNs5qiMfI/AAAAAAAAIBk/BXrYHOhd3fM/s1600/drawing+9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PiwfrIALH4U/TslNs5qiMfI/AAAAAAAAIBk/BXrYHOhd3fM/s640/drawing+9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-odOVGS3AwGE/TslN5Zf_nMI/AAAAAAAAIB8/JkRWGLNTcSk/s1600/drawing11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-odOVGS3AwGE/TslN5Zf_nMI/AAAAAAAAIB8/JkRWGLNTcSk/s640/drawing11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; clear: left; color: black; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Pictures 1, 2, 5 &amp; 6 :&nbsp;<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; clear: left; color: black; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">Photos John Sellen - Illustrations by Edholm Ullenius &amp; Pelle Mattsson -<a href="http://elleinterior.se/">via</a> - Picture 3 : <a href="http://www.alyos.eu/en/gallery-murals-designs-walls/">via</a> - Picture 4 : <a href="http://www.desiretoinspire.net/">via</a></span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-8255415471480701475?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-23325154617822770572011-11-21T07:02:00.000-05:002011-11-21T16:58:16.470-05:00<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bqSZ2kdL5_o/TsPNtxEgRhI/AAAAAAAAH98/ZaCKRv0OCuQ/s1600/quote+thinking+frenchbydesign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bqSZ2kdL5_o/TsPNtxEgRhI/AAAAAAAAH98/ZaCKRv0OCuQ/s1600/quote+thinking+frenchbydesign.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.kerismith.com/">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-2332515461782277057?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-78728447770483756302011-11-19T17:58:00.001-05:002011-11-19T18:13:17.229-05:00This is the new spot for the <a href="http://unhate.benetton.com/">Benetton</a> campaign titled "Unhate" and promoting the new brand's <a href="http://unhate.benetton.com/foundation/">non profit organization</a>. Directed by Laurent Chanez, the film once again positions Benetton as the brand&nbsp;&nbsp;that crosses universal taboos. Some highly controversial posters relay the campaign [see them all <a href="http://unhate.benetton.com/gadgets/">here</a>].

I prefer to show you spots around "mon chez moi" that make me feel like home &nbsp;- &nbsp;you know that "ha!" feeling when you browse around the special corners of your house. These are my little "ha!" spots, from my moodboard to the family scrabble magnet message board<i> [translates as "Mom, can we get more French <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraise_Tagada">Tagada</a> candy? Non!"] </i>or the wall crepe recipe we use almost every sunday... The last pic is a project my 11-year-old-daughter and I just finished: we were desperately looking for some cool black vine wall stickers, but in vain. So we decided to go crazy and draw directly on the wall with sharpie - yes, regular sharpie - pens, the idea behind this was that if we screwed up, a fresh coat of pain would take care of the problem. And voila! The result is amazing! Ines added some 3D effect butterflies - less than 10 bucks at Target and the result is pretty striking. She loves it and says it now looks like a perfect teen bathroom, not too girly, but still girly enough. She's happy, so I'm happy!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Nuv8VX6h5ww/Tqa7lO0bW2I/AAAAAAAAHps/waowC6b5ALI/s1600/home17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Nuv8VX6h5ww/Tqa7lO0bW2I/AAAAAAAAHps/waowC6b5ALI/s640/home17.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ckeSsWpxkL8/Tqa7eF5ToOI/AAAAAAAAHpg/xBt4vBYlA80/s1600/home16.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ckeSsWpxkL8/Tqa7eF5ToOI/AAAAAAAAHpg/xBt4vBYlA80/s640/home16.jpg" width="640" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;">&nbsp;</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fXPrrl8JZQU/Tqa7LZQHHiI/AAAAAAAAHpQ/7BqcTvDNT44/s1600/home14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fXPrrl8JZQU/Tqa7LZQHHiI/AAAAAAAAHpQ/7BqcTvDNT44/s640/home14.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7rDsM0T7hA/Tqa7XXi2VpI/AAAAAAAAHpY/uqCWHCWVGAQ/s1600/home15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c7rDsM0T7hA/Tqa7XXi2VpI/AAAAAAAAHpY/uqCWHCWVGAQ/s640/home15.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FHo9x5pirqs/Tqa7Fac2lcI/AAAAAAAAHpE/Xf1394hR4Hs/s1600/home11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FHo9x5pirqs/Tqa7Fac2lcI/AAAAAAAAHpE/Xf1394hR4Hs/s640/home11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vI6wjTF3ZYU/Tqa5hNc563I/AAAAAAAAHmE/dc6P2kBhiHA/s1600/home1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="500" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vI6wjTF3ZYU/Tqa5hNc563I/AAAAAAAAHmE/dc6P2kBhiHA/s640/home1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QV8J1RXgRSQ/Tqa7zB1UvDI/AAAAAAAAHqE/5s9MlkrsUjE/s1600/home22wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="418" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QV8J1RXgRSQ/Tqa7zB1UvDI/AAAAAAAAHqE/5s9MlkrsUjE/s640/home22wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">All images FrenchByDesign©</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-3015664016870778175?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-3090737600393190122011-11-01T09:19:00.000-04:002011-11-01T09:22:01.316-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E-jdxrdhi5k/Tq_ycBRlbyI/AAAAAAAAHzo/Z8urjFk6PG0/s1600/quote+hello+november+frenchbydesign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E-jdxrdhi5k/Tq_ycBRlbyI/AAAAAAAAHzo/Z8urjFk6PG0/s1600/quote+hello+november+frenchbydesign.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2356947080638331496-309073760039319012?l=frenchbydesign.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>FrenchByDesignhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17812563790925488189noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356947080638331496.post-40320029953534937422011-10-31T13:05:00.000-04:002011-11-08T14:15:59.285-05:00In love with these dark colored walls spotted lately here and there.

So excited to share this big step with you! FrenchByDesign is finally opening up to sponsorship! After many requests for ads on the blog, I took a long time deciding, and I am finally saying yes! I promise that the content and quality of posting will not change a bit... a.k.a no posts about how wonderful the sponsors items are if I don't really truly mean it! ;-)<br /><br />So if you have a shop, a business or a blog to promote and if you like the personality of this blog, then we're meant for each other! Shoot me a note through the <a href="http://frenchbydesign.blogspot.com/p/contact.html">contact form</a>&nbsp;or directly through the "advertise" button, I will give you all the blog specs, traffic stats, world map coverage and price sheet options available.

This bathroom spotted on <a href="http://www.architecturaldigest.com/">Architectural Digest</a> is just pure bliss. Extravagant, yes. Unique, yes. Stylish, yes again. Crazy, for sure. But check this bath space made out of a giant pebble shaped granite piece brought back from Bali and sculpted as a bath receiver - smart idea : all the water pipes and ugly equipment are hidden in the wooden chest by the bath tub - &nbsp;or the hidden shower head concealed in the baroque chandelier on the ceiling....

It has actually become my second best season - after Spring - as Indian summer colors are so beautiful in US North East coast. So this weekend, walks in the neighborhood collecting colorful leaves, a cup of hot tea by the outdoor fireplace [Ok, I will most likely indulge in a couple of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S'more">s'mores</a>, I know...], big socks and sweat pants for me...

I realize that having a minimal work space is extremely hard to achieve, because without any color, a workspace is cold and impersonal, and too much color ends up looking messy and cluttered. These desks have it all : minimal mood, yet a dash of color gives them a homy and feminine feel.
