Morabito...because I love her

I'm in France for a week so I thought I would treat you (visually) with some images of interiors & products designed by my 'interior' hero Jacqueline Morabito...

The last two are photos I styled for Morabito's collection which is currently in our Summer sale and which also includes this beautiful, handmade plaster candleholder.

Birthday girl in white heaven...

Today, I'm turning 43 and I have to say that I'm happy...Not that it is my Birthday, I don't really care (except when my family forgets about it but they didn't...), no I'm happy because I feel good in my own skin and happy with what I have in my life.

I live with the love of my life who not only I think, is good-looking but has great taste and showered me with beautiful gifts this morning from Mont Blanc and COS.

I have a wonderful child who is becoming an amazing, funny and witty little person, a business that I'm passionate about.

I have friends that I have known for 25 years and others that I only met online but who are very much present in my daily life.

I have a first catalogue that received an Award early this week, a great team and people around me I enjoy working with. 

I have still fire in my belly and the willingness to try things, take risk and I have decided that I will make the most of what rest of my life and if you're still not convinced, read this wonderful article by Marc Winn who I adore, on the advantage of being happy.

Below is another home designed by my design hero Jacqueline Morabito...as usual, very beautiful and you can still get a few Morabito designs on BODIE and FOU here.

White interiors by J. Morabito

I had a very productive weekend which felt really nice. I finally managed to put all our old CDs on this site, made a very healthy homemade vegetable soup, a not so healthy but delicious coconut & chocolate cake, moved the furniture around in the lounge, painted a wardrobe in white and given it has been a while since I posted about my design hero: Jacqueline Morabito (you can see Morabito's La petite Epicerie range here) here are some gorgeous photos by Martin Morrell to start thinking about Spring & Summer.
Hope you had a great weekend!
