Real life

Today our livingroom looks like this and our whole house is full of boxes with books etc...we took out the old laminate floor and will put a new oak-wooden floor in, the next few days we have lots of work to do but I look forward to the end result!

Merry Christmas

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year...

Tomorrow we will start to make a new wooden floor in our livingroom, and dolots of repainting, I can't wait to show you the result.

Macarons

Yesterday I spend some time baking Macarons, they turned out very jummie if Imay say so, the pink ones are red fruits with dark chocolate and the blue ones are with chocolate and peppermint......

Petit Pan

I love this store and so does Mila, she told me she would like her room to look like this, I would like that too......

Back home again

We (Mila& me) are back from our trip to Paris, we had such a great time, walking, talking and of course shopping!

I'm leaving for Paris in a hour or so, if you are in the area I hope you will come by and say Hello at our Vente Privee, if not I try to make plenty of pictures so I can share a little bit of Paris with you when I come back after the weekend.
