December 24, 2014Bonjour mes amis! I hope you had a lovely week. I’m wrapping up my final project for the semester and ready to begin the holiday season in full swing beginning this afternoon. Do you have a fun weekend planned? We have plans with friends to see Christmas displays and lights, a romantic dinner for two, […]
December 12, 2014This charming 1920’s Scandinavian home with its dark red exterior has the appearance of Christmas all year. On the inside, one is greeted with an enchanted winter wonderland of Christmas past in traditional Scandinavian style, the homeowner’s native. The decor includes tin hearts, a magnificent gingerbread house with glittering white frosting and splendid windows, evergreen trees and […]
December 11, 2014Chic and glamorous hair for those elegant holiday soirées and romantic dinners for two. Always fond of timeless hairstyles, especially fond of the “chignon du cou,” meaning nape of the neck and referring to a large, smooth twist, roll, or knot of hair, worn at the nape of the neck while neatly pulled together, messy, styled centrally or to one […]
December 10, 2014Have you started your holiday baking? I haven’t yet. I have a final this evening and a big project due on Friday {I may be a little scarce this week}. After that, my schedule will free up quite a bit until Christmas. I’m looking forward to baking some of my family’s favorites and trying a […]
December 9, 2014Hello, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We’re in the holiday spirit and had fun enjoying Christmas events around town. I love the sense of community and everyone coming together to celebrate, especially this time of year. The weather was a bit cold but it didn’t stop us I’m in love with living room design… […]
December 8, 2014Bon Weekend, I hope you had a great week and a better weekend planned! Christmas festivities are in full swing and I’m almost finished with school for the semester… that calls for a celebration itself. My little guy was under the weather for a couple of days but is feeling much better. We’re hoping to […]
December 5, 2014French interiors are notably embellished with beautiful paneling, trumeau mirrors, antiques, and stunning architectural details. Celebrating beauty by blending tradition with whimsy, French interiors are as comfortable as they are stunning by defining each room with art, furnishings, and interesting objets. Being a Francophile at heart, I look for inspiration in Parisian bistros, our apartment rentals, museums, […]
December 3, 2014Each holiday season, I hang a mistletoe in our home. They’re fun and always receive a positive response from family and friends. I especially love a little DIY this time of year and mistletoe’s are fun to make. You can use live {florists, nursery, some markets} or artificial mistletoe {hobby stores, online, florists}. Caution: Mistletoe […]
December 2, 2014Happy first day of December! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. November slipped away too quickly and now the Christmas season is upon us… We woke to icy roads after a weekend of beautiful weather. Although I don’t love cold weather, I appreciate the beauty of snow, especially this time of the year. […]
