''Pouf '' reminds us of something inflated. A souffle' perhaps? A fluffy ottoman that could easily be moved anywhere bringing comfort to our footsies. It injects 'fun and fabulous' vibes into a space, bringing out the playful side of ourselves, while providing ample seating for an increasing number of guests at our house parties. Firmer and flatter versions could also transform as side tables. Add a serving tray on top et voila!

Welcome to my home! Interior design is my passion and I channel all my unused creative energy decorating our abode or by painting. All the artworks on the walls are photographs of various sceneries that my husband and I took during our travels. These images give us happy memories of our explorations together. We had them printed in black and white by a local printer using IKEA frames. The rest of the art pieces are my work, an abstract acrylic painting and a pen and ink sketch of the Eiffel Tower.
I'm still on the lookout for the perfect 8-seater dining set. I'm planning to purchase upholstered back dining chairs in cream or bone color. The perfect dining set I found in Falaknaz Habitat is unfortunately out of stock and was sold two hours prior to our shop visit.
Breakfast @ home with friends on a Friday morning
We very rarely watch TV, approximately twice in a month. The entertainment unit is not the focal point in our living space. Rather the conversation area with a huge suede sofa and enough seating for everyone is our priority as we love having friends over for dinner every weekend with lots of long conversations.
We are fortunate to have found a property with a great view of the garden. Perfect for relaxation.
Until next time. Have a great weekend!
One of the most fascinating part of the french lifestyle is le jardin potager, the vegetable garden where they plant everything essential in the kitchen to prepare the palate stimulating meals.
Here are some of the images taken in Chateau de Chenonceau in the Loire Valley in France.
Le jardinage or gardening is an inherent part of their culture which could be traced back in history.
They take pride in cultivating crops from herbs to a huge variety of legumes most oftenly surrounded by fruit bearing trees. The family would usually give the house guests a tour of the potager before enjoying an afternoon coffee at the terrace.
Imagine a starter with freshly harvested lettuce and the most plump tomatoes you've ever seen.
A healty organic diet, what more could we ask for?
Have a great weekend everyone! Bisous!
Spend quiet moments of reflection, to search for the things that hold us back from being our best self. Forgive and let go. Have a great weekend to all!
