We are back. After a little hick up yesterday I am back and I am so excited to share this charming family apartment in Paris with you.

Patrice, owner of the shoe brand Feiyue, and Laetitia’s, who is a clothing designer, beautiful old apartment hides behind an anonymous facade in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. An area I have lived during some of my Paris years too!

Patrice is a trained architect and the couple met in China for the first time. They were both on a business trip. Now they have their base in Paris and their little son Yume joined the family since then as well.

The couple opened up the hallway to create a large modern family kitchen. Totally understandable and so useful, especially for a family. I love kitchens and it is always a priority when house hunting, because there needs to be enough space for everyone and lots of cooking, activities and entertaining!

And the mix of modern and the traditional Parisian flair is lovely with these magnificent old fireplaces, large beautiful windows, and lovely old wooden floors. See for yourself:

Such a cosy spot inside that cool tipi… and I love to see a bit of Amsterdam in Paris…

Things: Tipi*, rug*, Amsterdam house wardrobe!

Yume owns a couple of super-cool vehicles. Having this ‘mattress haven’ adds a lot of calm to the room! And they become practical when it is sleepover time too.

Things: Yellow chair*, skateboard* and a selection of mattresses*.

And I love those inserted windows that you can find in a lot of places in Paris. They let in so much light that it is even worth to have a little less privacy in your bathroom (I am sure there is a little toilet for guests somewhere in the apartment too).

Gorgeous place and I will leave you with it for today. Because next week I will be off for my first trade show of the season and before that we have a busy weekend to squeeze in including a birthday party!

See you tomorrow!

Bonjour. We are staying in France for today as well. And we are visiting this dreamy family home in Paris.

Inhabited by parents Vincent and Blanche, who live here together with their children Romy and Vadim. Of course, the moment I saw the name Romy (my eldest has the same name just in case you don’t know) I was even a little bit more in love.

The apartment is on the ground floor of a building in the 9th district of Paris. These ground floor places are usually pretty dark so I guess the couple was really lucky and happy when they scored this space.

And you can clearly say that the family loves a good decor, thrifting through Vintage markets and shops as well as mixing designer pieces with decor from the more wallet friendly stops. An art that the French are especially good at. (fashion wise as well)

Have a look into this warm, friendly, modern as well as stylish place:

We may not like McDonalds, but that M sign could very well sit in my house too!

Romy’s beautiful kids room:

Garland from Numero 74*.

Light grey cabinet*.

Similar basket here* and a lot of baskets here*.

Dream curtain*.

 

Floor mats – something you may find through Jamini. A brand I showed you yesterday.

 

Ball pool from Misioo*.

Elephant from Anne-Claire Petit.

Shelf from String*.

Rattan bed from Bonton*, for example. Where you would need to check regularly because they sell out quickly every time they hit store.  And bed linen from Numero 74* and they do have many other colours too..

Vadim’s kingdom:

Ballons from Petit Picotin.

Changing table from Quax*.

More Paris inspiration – how about this stunning house in the suburbs or this one right in the heart of Paris.

Good Morning! How are you? I am back home after a very busy week end of shooting another part of the Boutique Studio Experience with Maru. (you can check my Insta for the first behind the scenes – we had a great time)

And I will be at home and behind my desk for a little while and I am so looking forward to it. The last months were a little (much) crazy.

And today is Tuesday and that means it is all about great interiors. Do you remember the fantastic and colourful kids rooms I showed you at the end of February? There was one family apartment on the design studio page that really attracted me and I want to show you more details of. Today is the day.

It is rather colourful too. With some very modern parts, superb use of space (again) and lots of interesting details. (we love details)

Every kids room got a different, and very special, wallpaper. Needless to say – a designer wallpaper – and its very own character. Playful rooms with fun elements and lots of vintage finds.

And that kitchen? I would love to sit next to that window for a cup of tea!

The owners have a thing for great prints too. Did you notice?

The mix of a little bit IKEA, design classics, vintage finds and happy accessories (buntings!) really works and gives these rooms personality. And it makes me happy to see something else next to the ‘still going strong trend’ of monochrome on Instagram.

I count 3 kids living here, maybe I could just show up with my crew and do a spontaneous play date? What do you think? I would love to see this apartment live. Every time I look at the pictures I see something new and interesting.
