French Antiques and Flea Market Finds

This house, located in a small village only an hour away from the centre of Paris, used to be a barn and was restored and transformed by Monique, owner of Pigwidgeon, a decorating company. She lives here with her husband and two sons. Every room is brimming with beautiful 18th century antiques and flea market finds. French an whimsical through and through.





The bust is of the Comtesse du Bary.

Splendid Home in Spain

Decorated by Christine van Hoecke, this beautiful home in Spain with stunning views is both elegant and rustic, bright and airy.
Tour time, my dears!


Terra cotta tiles and wicker furniture in the long, welcoming, porch.


There are arches in almost every room.


A grand foyer with marble floors and a minimum amount of furniture.


Patina on the doors and some of the furniture.


A Chesterfield leather sofa adds warmth to the living room.




A spiral staircase leads to a home office with a balcony overlooking the living room.


I like the addition of the round table and two chairs on the left.




Sevilla tile backsplash adds character to the kitchen.




This is the hallway that leads from the stairs to the master bedroom.


The breathtaking views can be seen both from the sitting area and the master bedroom which have been divided with a low wall.

Built in 1860, this home went from a hotel to a nursing home in the 60s and has now been restored by Clarisse and Arnaud de Saint-Martin, both antique dealers and interior designer enthusiasts. Definitely French in style, it is brimming with interesting pieces: from Medici vases and Louis XV chairs to plenty of flea market finds.

White House in Spain

Hello, dears! Happy Belated Easter to all of you!

I did not post these last four days because I wasn't feeling quite well after my fall last Thursday. I'm much better now and I'd like to thank you for your warm comments. (I promise I'll wear a helmet next time I get on a skateboard!)

So, back to posting it is and I'm taking you to visit a renovated house located a mere 15 kilometres from Madrid. This dreamy house was decorated by Spanish interior designers Lola and Candy Mediavilla. Mostly white and sand colours, with touches of black which give it a more masculine look.
