Oh the French. They have that certain something. Effortless style and sophistication. A little bit rustic with simple luxury, primitive next to midcentury, vibrant colour playing against whitewash. An understanding of what is needed and what is not. Be style my beating heart. Maison des champs, Sainte-Foys-Lès-Lyon by interior stylist Nathalie Rives.

Stylin’ spaces just right until they become totally picture perfect. Love the work of Stockholm based stylist/decorator Linda Åhman. Also totally digging the photo below with the 2 tone wall with a border of photos. What a great idea!

Early last week we were contacted by the Country Cat Sanctuary because they had taken in a Siamese named Maurice that needed some special care. His owner had gotten herself knocked up and kicked him and his sibling out into the garage ALL WINTER. Before anything else awful could happen to him Gwen (who runs the sanctuary) offered to take him but being caged up was stressing him out, and he was overweight, so she thought we could help. We picked him up Wednesday and he is an absolute sweetheart. He was totally relaxed within 10 minutes of being at our house and now follows us around like a dog. He is declawed on all 4 paws (AGH! Don’t ever do this to your cat!!!) and is HUGE. And we love him. But we’d love for him to find a permanent home so we can continue to help out with fostering. If anyone out there is interested in adopting him give me a shout. 

I took this photo about a half hour after we got him. 

Later that day when former feral Frankie got his first glimpse of him. LOL!

Yep, he settled in no problem. 🙂
