Powder room

 We live in such strange, and recently unsettling times, and I am sorry for having been MIA for so long. To say at least hello, I thought I'd post the work in progress of the showroom's completed powder room (as shared on Instagram today).


A new blog will follow soon. In the meantime, I hope you all are safe and well xx.


Ready for some action:


Let's paint it black 🖤 Bon courage, as they say here ;)


A cheeky monkey brigade moves in ... 


Et voilà! I am still looking for a mirror, but otherwise, it's all done!




Wallpaper leftovers make great gift-wrapping paper ... and I already had some ribbons to match!

  2. Dearest darling Tai—I can’t tell you how incredibly excited and proud I was when seeing your Instagram post today. Once again, major congrats on your accomplishment! Yours is truly a project with mesmerizing results, and I’m sure the process has been extremely challenging yet satisfying. I can’t wait to see you unfold the rest of the outcomes.

    1. My dearest darling Cecilia, - thank you so much! So true on the challenges ... the concept "practice makes perfect" doesn't really apply, as one does not have the luxury to "practice" much. So a lot of thinking and praying goes into it instead! More to come, hope you'll like the other projects too! Much love xxx

    really refreshing, your powder room! The monkeys are really nice - I had to grin. It's always interesting to see how colors influence the mood of a room. I really would love to see more of you soon ;-)
