Inspiring home / plywood & pastels

So my boyfriend and I decided to move in together this summer, and ever since we started talking about it and looking for an apartment, I’ve been daydreaming of ways to decorate it and curating photos of spaces that feel so inspiring. I know I’ll have to slow down on pink & gold accents but I’m sure we’ll find the right balance that satisfies us both. This plywood decor is what my dreams are made of right now. And how gorgeous is this pastel door? Seriously. Maybe someday :)

Dreamy AirBnB

I discovered AirBnb last summer, and to be completely honest, it totally blew my mind and inspired me to travel the world and meet total strangers. If you haven’t heard about it yet, AirBnb is a community marketplace where guests can book spaces from hosts, connecting people who have space to spare with those who are looking for a place to stay. Last summer we rented a room in a trailer park in L.A. and the cutest little garden house in Oakland. Totally worth it, I swear. We got to meet awesome folks that gave us great advices in terms of what to visit and what not to. Today, I stumbled upon one of the cutest rental place on Airbnb; a small tree house loaded with charm. Check this out!

Isn’t this the cutest rental place on Earth? Well, I guess not, but I would definitely rent this place for a lovely getaway if I was in Atlanta. Would you?

Aquasource deep serum from Biotherm

Hey Spring, you are finaly here ! I just wanted to share with you my crush of the moment and one thing that inspired M and I for the DIY concrete project we did last week (don’t worry you’ll see that soon enough). I really like that concrete console table, but it’s definitely out of my budget (443$ !). I may use it as inspiration in a future project! I love the whole concept of this room, especialy its brightness, maybe I’m just tired of looking at the dirty sidewalks.

Anyway, Spring has sprung and I like to take a particular care of my skin during this time of the year to be ready for Summer. I must confess, I cannot skip a day without using the Biotherm serum that I’ve been using for the last year or so. It’s a bit expensive (60$), but you don’t need much to cover your face (and a bottle lasts for about six months, on a twice a day basis) and you can easily save on your day/night cream (you’ll need less in combination with the serum). It really helps to prevent dehydration and it brightens your skin. How do you prepare yourself for Summer ?

Wallpaper all over

Today, I thought I’d share one of the reason why living in an appartement is hard on my decorating passion; wallpaper, or how we can’t fix any of it on our walls. Not that I don’t like my white walls and open space, but a patterned room would feel so warm and cozy. Anyways, this is only gonna wait until I have a place on my own !

Here is where I found those: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5

Style your post / kitchen

Sooooo sorry guys, I missed out this week! I was so busy celebrating my birthday and my friend Tania’s, and getting all bruised at paintball, I couldn’t find any time to write in here. But I’m back, with a style your spot post about kitcheeeens! Yay! As a computer freak, I don’t use to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, spending most of it in front of my computer! But, don’t get me wrong, it’s one of my favorite space to decorate! And I love to invite people over in a great looking space. Here are four completely different kitchen looks. Enjoy!
