A la maison - De quelle planète es-tu? 1The sun was shining through the other day and it brought some new tints into the apartment. It was so refreshing.

With the cold it makes me so anxious for spring.

A la maison - De quelle planète es-tu? 13 A la maison - De quelle planète es-tu? 14Lately I’ve been such a homebody. Not really sure why, but it’s been an intense end to winter, and I feel so cozy and at ease at home. It’s nice to just stay warm and avoid the bitter cold at times with a cup of tea. I always find new ways to put holes in my walls and add some this & that’s.

I’m anxious for the longer days.

All photos by Jean-Laurent Gaudy

As tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, I wanted to post these lovely photos that Jean-Laurent took of Louis and I a few weeks ago. It was what he calls a “Love session”. He has a talent for capturing beautiful candid moments. And gosh I am so happy with how they turned out!

It’s hard to get some seemingly natural shots as sometimes it’s awkward to show PDA in front of a camera, eh? We did our best.

I really like these pictures because they were taken in our apartment. In our own element. With our stuff. It felt so much more natural, and so much more true.

I love love.

You can check out the original post on Jean-Laurent’s blog here.

Don’t forget to check out his blog and Facebook page for more updates and showcasing of his sublime couples photography.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

I’ve always felt so strongly about what I surround myself with at home. I care about the space in which I live, and want it to be filled with snippets of my personality, hobbies and dreams and reflect who I am.

After two amazing weeks home in Denver, it is refreshing to be back at home with all of my stuff. And of course it’s so fun to integrate all of my new little treasures into the mix of my little nid. Do you feel that way sometimes? The need to be around your things? It’s a weird feeling, isn’t it? Human’s ability to accumulate things and be so attached to them.

You can find some more pictures of Louis and I’s doll house here. I just love changing around trinkets and things to give a new spin to the eye every now and again. Some would call me crazy.

If you’re wondering who that cutie is on my couch in the fab boots, click here.

I felt like it was about time that I shared my little nid with you guys. I’m always raving about trinkets and antique markets, and I guess it’s about time you see my little world. Spaces are very important. I think you can tell a lot about a person by the space in which they surround themselves.

I’m a sucker for eye candy & randomness.

I inherited the obsession for trinkets, things and all things homey from my mother.

Our home in Colorado was filled with souvenirs from my parent’s travels: baskets from Iraq, chests from Kuwait, furniture from Santa Fe, or Aboriginal works of art. Anything and everything from anywhere. The mixtures of modern and traditional. The mixtures of colors and textures. My mother and grandmother’s artwork. The constant addition to rooms and walls to give them personality and life.

Having my own home now that has so much influence from the space I grew up in is so comforting, and most definitely adds to the coziness. Each little thing has a story. Louis and I luckily share an obsession for trinkets & things, as well as antique markets and brocantes. Luckily our trinkets blend just right, creating our own special space.

What kind of space do you surround yourself in? What are your must haves on the shelves? I’ve always got to have little boxes and a cactus. Not sure why. It’s just one of those things!
