Sneak Peek at Design Sponge

by Béa

Sneak Peek of la cuisine

I am spoiled.

A few months ago, contributing editor Anne Ditmeyer who writes for inspiring Design Sponge (“a daily website dedicated to home and product design”; see the feature of In the Kitchen column too from February) asked me if I would like to give a tour of our house, for their Sneak Peek column. No need to add that I felt really honored. It took me some time to finally take pictures of our house — there seemed to always be food projects and a baby’s room to renovate in the way — but here it is now, finally.

Many thanks again to Anne and Grace at Design Sponge for giving me this honor. I hope you will enjoy the short tour inside our little house.

Incidentally, I wanted to add a note about my lack of response to emails some of you have sent, with questions about camera, food styling and photography. So sorry I have not yet managed to answer them all. If you do not hear from me, feel free to send another note!

  7. Your home looks as beautiful and comfortable as your blog! I smiled at the piles of cups…, it must be really hard to find the right one for each food design;)

  8. Your house is gorgeous! I love all the natural light and open windows. Your baby is going to grow up in such a warm and nurturing environment… Your home is a pure reflection of you and your blog.

  10. I absolutely LOVED your home. WOW. I bookmarked it so I could blow the pictures up later and scrutinize. So colorful and cozy!

  11. ohh cozy, perfect & colorful. i may steal some of these ideas as we are just about to buy our first home and have a fresh palette to work with. i love the paint color, you’re right about it’s color giving off more light to the room.

    The paintings seen on the pics are almost all mine, expect for the great one of the old lady with a cat on her lap — in living room, by sofa. It was made by a great friend of mine, who is a fabulous artist (Elena Gorodensky)

  23. You’ve got a really nice home. A place truly yours, it has so much of your taste and flavours in it! I like the chalkboard so much!!!

  25. Is there a room to rent? :D?! I like the chalkboard too but your handwriting is so nice!
