Instagram post 2222861353488615245_279147948 Throwing some furry stuff with a summer shirt like it's perfectly natural 😅 Living here have changed what feels right clothing-wise. It's a confirmation of intuitions I had for a while but couldn't really turn into reality when I still lived in Paris 🥴 . #newlife #newcolors #summerinwinter #warmcolors #contemporaryarchitecture #midcenturymodern #goldenhour #modernarchitecture #provence #dromeprovencale #countryliving #winter
Instagram post 2222158445331829378_279147948 The dressing. So glad we finally went for a closed dressing. I had this cliché vision of an open closet but this would have looked so chaotic 🤦🏻‍♀️ . In the middle, provençal jar, sandalwood ritual necklaces from Kerala, Japanese basket and Romanian stool. . We bought the stool from a renowned Romanian sculptor called Teo Barsan. We were visiting the big workshop now owned by his son where they sculpt huge portals and stumbled on the father who showed us his own work. He had a true artist vision, at the intersection of folklore, fonction and pure fantasy that really resonated with me. In the small, dusty room that served as an informal museum we spotted this stool and inquired about buying it. I'm so happy we asked. It felt a bit weird at the time, and we wondered if it would fit in any of the bags we had...but it did! I tend to overthink buying stuff when we travel, always afraid I'm getting carried away by the excitement of the moment, but in the end I'm not sure I should because I treasure all the things we brought back. ☺️ . #travelstories #romania #barsan #woodworking #vintage #folkcraft #craftsmanship #japanesebasketry #newhouse #newhome#modernarchitecture #contemporaryarchitecture #dressing #midcenturymodern
Instagram post 2221408429747104127_279147948 Can't get enough of these clear winter skies here 🙏🏻 Reeeally looking forward to early spring to see the garden grow, but, in the meantime, we started feeding the birds and got rewarded with a flock of them. They're putting on quite a show and seem to like it here as much as I do ☺️ . #winter #provence #contemporaryarchitecture #modernarchitecture #midcenturymodern #newhouse #newhome #countryliving
Instagram post 2220696196947748373_279147948 A corner of our bedroom. On the day we moved, I really wanted to sleep in our new house, even if the rest of our stuff would only be delivered the day after. I had the new bed and new mattress delivered a week before our arrival. . The reality of this idea was that after helping loading the truck in Paris in the morning and driving seven hours to Provence, we had to mount our bed, by night, in our empty house. And somehow we found the energy 😅 . I like to think about that surreal first evening sometimes, ad I go to sleep in that almost finished room (yep still waiting for the final door and carpentry details on the dressing). I also still have to make up my mind on what we'll hang on the walls. . Anyway, after our old Ikea mattress, this @emma_matelas is pure bliss, and so are the @bonsoirs_fr sheets 🙏🏻 . #bedroom #midcenturymodern #newhouse #newhome #contemporaryarchitecture #provence #naturalmaterials #muji #bonsoirs #emmamatelas #vintagefurniture
Instagram post 2219638046215717118_279147948 The rain chains. We saw the first ones in Sri Lanka years ago and found them beautiful. I found out later that it was probably a Japanese invention (who's suprised, right?), and suddenly started to notice all of them on our last trip there. Using them on our house sounded like a wild idea at first, one we hesitated bringing up 😅 but our building director made it work 🙏🏻 he's still surprised that the system actually work and the chains are always a curiosity whenever someone visits the house. We were lucky to find a website called chainesdepluie.com which sells high quality chains adapted to french standards (because wanting to integrate foreign construction in your french building is generally a headache). . #rainchain #waterchain #japanesearchitecture #newhouse #contemporaryarchitecture #provence #lesud #modernarchitecture #midcenturymodern #copper #concrete #dromeprovencale
Instagram post 2202970491090881778_279147948 It was surprisingly easy to find vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Naha. We weren't really expecting the city to be that nice, with many cool spots to hang out and a richness of its own. No huge ancient temples there, but still plenty of things, small and big, that make it distinctly Japanese and especially Okinawan 😉 . #naha #mana #japan #okinawa #ryukyu #vegan #vegetarian #japanesefood #travelblog #traveldeeper #travelguide #jnto
