My mom visited last weekend and brought me some white Christmas roses from her garden. It's amazing how it looks like the little milkjug is set on a proper coffee table, don't you think? Blog magic! It's an old wood board on two cardboard boxes I kept...
I like visiting decorating (cottage style mostly) blogs during my morning coffee break (which happens only on days when I don't work). I am always amazed at all the work people do in their houses every week... I was a bit jealous... I still am, but now...
Do you consider the house ugly because you read my last post? Actually, the house has "potential". It's my favorite word to describe a house I visit: it either as "potential" or it's hopeless. So here are my own seven wonders. 1) Stone walls The house...
Hi! I've been so busy and so tired in the evening that I didn't take the time to write. Hopefully rainy days are coming (am I really writing that? - see how ewhausted I am!) and it will give me some time to write. So I will soon be opening for you the...
Lots of people asked me how my cat was adjusting to his new life. Just fine!!! He just loves the new house, mostly because he spends most of the time in the garden, but also because there's a staircase, which is just wonderful to play his usual morning...
So I tried to knock on heaven's door, but I actually walked in a Little Shop of Horrors. First, one of my favorite item: the kitchen's walls!!! It doesn't really show on the picture, it's not smooth at all. I guess it was made with the kind of spatula...
Hi everyone! Sarah, from the wonderful Modern Country Style, told me about a carol I didn't know about yet, but I really enjoyed discovering it. Sarah, du blog Modern Country Style, m'a fait découvrir un chant de Noël que je ne connaissais pas (mais comment...
You might not know the French website "Le Bon Coin": I guess it's like the "Craig's list" I read a lot about on your wonderful decorating blogs. Meaning, it's a wonderful way to spend your time on a rainy day and it's also very time consuming because...
Whenever the question is asked on a blog, everybody has a different name of a designer to write. Well I don't. But I have tons of movie or TV-show titles whose sets have inspired me in all the different places I've lived in. I sometimes watch TV just...
I don't have many friends, but I have wonderful friends. Two of my highschool friends came and visited me last May and they brought a table (and chairs) for my then-future garden! It was great because as soon as I got the keys, I had nothing in the house,...
Hey wonderful people! Recently, by some miracle, I've had more and more readers... Meaning more readers than my Mom and myself (lame, I know...) So a big thank you to all of you who spend some of your time with me here. I'm so happy to welcome you in...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I should obviously have spent the day dusting the house... Well, I didn't! De toute évidence, j'aurai dû passer la journée à dépoussiérer la maison... Mais, non! Milo, checking if there's any food in that shopping bag! Today...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to this year's Hallowe'en wreath! Voici la couronne d'Hallowe'en de cette année, entièrement maison, depuis les 200 noeuds en tulle, jusqu'à ma toute première rose en feutre......
To get you in the mood... I know! How did we go from Garbage and The Birthday Massacre to a nursery rhyme? Open-mindedness??? Comment est-on passé de Garbage à cette chanson enfantine? Et bien, j'ai des goûts très éclectiques, dirons-nous! I had dreamed...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, As you might remember, Milo, the former owers of the Little White House's cat, decided to come back and live here. He seems to believe it's the best place in the world and I must say I'm flattered. My very own cat, Shadow,...
Hi! First thing, I'd like to calm your alarm: I didn't witness my neighbour getting killed! Pour ceux qui sont déjà perdus, "Rear Window" est le titre anglais du film "Fenêtre sur cour". You might remember that post that said I mostly watch movies and...
You might have noticed in previous pictures that my downstairs floor is very colourful, just like everything else in the Little White House.You might remember it was the same upstairs. Peut-être avez-vous remarqué sur les photos le côté Arlequin du sol...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, Here's an update of the Little White House's "course of renovation". Voici des nouvelles des travaux de la Petite Maison. That sponge-Bob-painted wall HAD TO disappear. Picture was taken right before the renovation began,...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, French TV is re-re-re-airing episodes of How I Met Your Mother... Lily still hasn"t had any baby yet here... It's like she's been pregnant 24 months! And it seems that every time I turn the TV on the episode about Robin being...
Dear readers, With everything that's happening at the house (you can check here), I thought I deserved, or at least needed, some time off. My parents live in a lovely town so I left my paintbrushes in their garage and headed downtown. It's on the seaside....
I woke up yesterday to that song: J'ai été réveillée hier par cette chanson: So, ok, it's been in my player for years and I've been waking up to it every now and then for a while. But, there are songs you've been listening to for so long, you don't really...
Dear readers, Chers lecteurs, I had it coming. I've been buying things on the Internet and asking sellers to send it to me from all over the country. And it was always perfect: my cake stand, my violet teapot, my treasured pink Wedgwood box (I still have...
Today I just wanted to thank my pupils. Today was supposed to be my last day as a substitute in one of the two schools I work in. I was surprised to see my pupils arriving in class with letters, chocolate cookies and pink roses (they had asked me a few...
Dear all of you patiently or impatiently waiting for spring, Bonjour à tous ceux qui attendent patiemment ou pas le printemps, You might remember my garden from a previous post and you might also remember I wrote I dreamed about a medieval garden. Vous...
