I stumbled upon the blog and shop of Piou Sandrine in France today via Flickr and really, really enjoyed what I found! Would you like to take a peek into her world too? Oh good! Let’s look together at some pretty corners in this whimsical Paris home, I’m sure her children love having her for a mommy with all of these fun colors and patterns around!

I love all of the bright, joyful colors and the sticker on the front of her white dresser. Not to mention her gorgeous cat! Awww, so cute. I think what moves me the most though is her unique stamp on this space – it is very personal and original. It feels cozy and lived in, and like this lady really puts a lot of her creative energy into each corner. I really admire this!

That basket in the first picture reminds me of my grandmother. She used to weave baskets like that. I also love the pillow shams.

Janet I too love that purple vase. If you are looking for those, they are actually quite common and in different colors. I’ve seen them in antique shops throughout New England and even in places like thrift shops.

What a colorful, happy home…the type of place where a little one’s imagination can run wild, without Fisher-Price primary colors and clunkiness!

Hi Holly,

I want that kitty… i want it ..I want it…It looks like a miniature lion. Such a face for a cat! And your hedgehog on Haus Maus at the street fair is the cutest ever.

Germany looks like Heaven to me :) Like you’re on a never ending vacation.
