I’m still French in my dreams. I’m still living in a fabulously chic French apartment. Faded grandeur, flea market finds, an easy Parisian glamour. Yes still French. Apartment in the historic Place des Vosges by Marianne Tiegen.

A concrete, glass and steel butterfly alighting on a Californian meadow. Wings spread in the sun. Light on the land despite its monumental materials. An owner’s dream. An architect’s creation. The Butterfly house by Feldman Architecture.

I am completely infatuated with this home in Burgundy, France. It is the weekend getaway for interior designer Clarisse Prudent and her family, and was completely renovated over the span of 15 months. It is a gem, with concrete floors, very basic architecture, lots of windows, lofty on the top floor and filled with lots of vintage pieces paired with a few classics. My favourite touch – the photographic artwork. Via The Socialite Family.

If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend then things are so much easier if your workplace is stylish and fun. Like the chambers of Hilditch Lawyers in South Australia designed by Williams Burton Leopardi. Theatrical, tongue in cheek, bold and quirky this is no fuddy-duddy legal firm. More fabulous than old fogey. More modern than mossy.
