Sneak Peek at Design Sponge

November 1, 2008

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.

Sneak Peek of le coin tranquille

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;)

  21. Thank you all! ;-)

    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)

  39. hi there,
    a bit of a random question from a random commenter, hope you don’t mind!

    I’ve been looking for the lovely green bike basket pictured (which you cleverly adapted as a fruit basket) forever and cannot remember which brand it is. would you mind telling me so that I can finally go & get it? :)
    thanks ever so much!!!
