Sophie Maillot-Juillet
Tue, 21 Dec 2010Christmas is only 4 sleeps away and thankfully I finally finished my Christmas shopping. Every year I say I'll get it done early and it NEVER happens. Wishful thinking. Now I'm trying to get some baking out of the way. I made some butter tart shortbreads last night and they actually may have turned out okay. (Phew!) Anyway, hope you're all on track with your holiday "to do" lists and have a bit of peace and calm before the big day. Perhaps I give you a bit of a break from the chaos with some soothing photos from the website of French interior stylist and journalist Sophie Maillot-Juillet.

I can always count on you for some much-needed inspiration! Thanks!
I love the amount of netting used in these rooms, and that print above the bed is HILARIOUS, how would you like to wake up to that sight each morning? ;)

the first room is so beautiful in its simplicity...
i can't get enough painted white floors lately.
just what I need right now. I really like the first kitchen!
gorgeous balance of rustic and modern... any clue as to who the artist is for the painting above the bed?
merry x-mas!
I just want to sit in that first bathroom and soak for hours. I love the white wooden floors and the fish carving in the window. Very soothing indeed!
How awesome is that pull-out inspiration board/wall thing in the 9th pic?. You can have a sleek minimalist home office but whenever you want slide that thing out to ponder your tear-outs. Sweet....
I'm so happy those in the interior realm are re-establishing not only bare-wood as strong focal points, but using all-over white COMBINED with wood to relieve white from it's previous reputation for being the Modern "color." I remember that scene from Willy Wonka when they're completely surrounded by white, or scenes from Woody Allen's "Sleeper" -- again, white. '70s. Modern. The Future. White everywhere.
So glad it can now so crisply highlight the feel of the countryside -- grass, greens from the garden, un-treated wood, etc. Refreshing in the way White should be, I feel.
Thanks for sharing these photos!

Thanks for introducing me to Sophie Maillot-Juillet's work, her spaces are truly inspiring! Her use of wood in a lot of this projects helps warm these spaces beautifully
These pictures are so beautiful I want to cry.
I love the mix of simplicity, rusticity and modernism in these images, I tried doing some research about Sophie and what she studied but didn't have much success. I'm a budding interior stylist and would love to know more about her. Do you know where I could find out about her education?
Thanks so much for putting this blog together, I spend hours taking in the different designs you've found, they really are inspiring.
