Love the mini footed tub! Have been daydreaming of building something like the Hinkle Shack and this would be the perfect luxurious “downsize”.

I love everything about this apartment–especially the mobile in the first picture. Inspiring post, thanks!

The best photos ever! I love Barbara’s fun and pops of colour.
It all makes me want to hop into the pictures, myself!:)

Love the colour of the walls in the bedroom, fantastic!
And the fireplace, very brave thing to do, and looks great!

Wow! I love this house. I’ve always shied away from using really strong colours, but they work so well here. I love the fabric on the duvet covers as well. Thanks for sharing.

That’s exactly the bathtub I’ve been looking for! Why is it impossible to find something like that in the States?

Love the use of the intense red walls and accents. I just found a great Benjamin Moore red for my bedroom (a little deeper than the one above), but so rich and luscious. It’s called “Caliente” – hightly recommend it if you’re looking for a red wall color.

Sweetness in the tub! I lurve it!

I’m so adding her shop to the list of places I’ll be visiting next time I’m in Rouen… it doesn’t happen that often, but I’ll keep track of the website.

La baignoire est magnifique !! D’où vient-elle ? Et bravo pour le rose de la cheminée, c’est pourtant d’habitude une couleur que je déteste en décoration.

I LOVE the illustration with a sewing machine. wondering whose work it is… Thanks for sharing!

Barbara is trop forte!
Bravo!

I have that spotted orange and white bedspread! It’s a duvet cover from Ikea and it’s delightful. A bit rough and linen-y to the touch but looks more expensive than it is.

BEAUTIFUL! My favorite (I think, it’s so hard to choose) is the mobile in the first picture. This is probably made by Barbara and unavailable to the public?
