Hello_Francois

I know it’s been a while since my last post, but as you have seen on my Instagram account, 2018 ended very differently than it started. I moved to a new city, started a new career, both of which have impacted every part of my life. And to be honest, I’m still trying to figure out how to manage everything… including my blog! In early August of 2018, I was offered a position as Trade Advisor at the French Embassy Trade Office in New York City. After having worked in 3 similar o

I know some of you have been waiting for this post a long time. Probably since Ken and I moved into our new home last March. Sorry for the wait. As you probably know, I’m a perfectionist. I wanted to have all the furniture, home decor and art properly installed, placed and hung to the walls before sharing photos of our new living room with you. The space is finally ready to be shown, and I can’t wait for you guys to see it. * Click photo to enlarge. Like for many, the living

I’ve wanted acrylic risers, ever since I first discovered them last year. I loved how they made something simple look elegant, and something special even more important and luxurious. I couldn’t find the sizes I needed, until I discovered shopPOPdisplays. They produce hundreds of sizes in-stock and ready to ship, but what I really love about shopPOPdisplays, is they offer custom sizes! * Click photo to enlarge. I love using our acrylic risers to showcase pottery and sculpture

As you know, we recently moved into a new place and hopefully you’ve already seen my walk-in closet reveal here. Since we’re renting, reconfiguring the space and remodeling the bathroom was not an option. However, I’m excited to share in this post how we personalized the space with a few accessories and a bit of imagination. I personally spend a lot of time in the bathroom, so naturally it needed to be functional but also nice and enjoyable. Whether I’m getting ready for the

As you may know, Ken and I recently moved into a new loft space. We didn’t move far from our old place, just around the corner to be precise. For us, there is no other neighborhood better suited for our lifestyle than Uptown, Dallas. Being in a walkable neighborhood is extremely important to both of us, that’s why as long as we’re in Dallas, 75201 will be home. This makes our fourth move together and second in the USA. In fact, did you know this month marks our second year li

Big news, Ken and I are moving!! But before we start packing, I wanted to share some pictures of our current home. Ken and I have been living in the Glass House, a high-rise in uptown Dallas, for almost 2 years. As much as we love our current home, we feel it's time for a new challenge. Whether moving around the corner or half way around the globe, we have always found the process of moving fun. And we’re especially excited about this next one! I can't tell you where we’ll be

I love having friends over! I'm very blessed to live in a beautiful home that offers stunning views of Dallas, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing my home with friends. Whether sharing a home-prepared meal or simply enjoying a few cocktails with friends, there are certain etiquettes you should follow when benefiting from a friend's hospitality. So today, I thought I'd write a short post to remind people how to be the best guests ever! 1) Never Arrive Empty Handed Th

If there is one thing Ken and I really love to do together, it's to entertain friends at home. We love entertaining so much, we hosted a party in our home the evening before our wedding reception to welcome our out-of-town guests only, to Dallas! You may think having two events, two nights in a row is crazy, and you would be right! But also FUN! We went to bed at 2am that night, and woke up the next day with a hangover that lasted until past lunch. Not good! I'm super excited
