We broke up...{Life with Mila}

Last weekend, Mila announced us she was in love with Gabriel...
Last night, she showed us a nice drawing of a boy and a girl holding hands
Me: "Is this you and Gabriel?"
Mila: "No we broke up"
Me: "What?! You broke up?! But you told us you were in love with him over the weekend"
Mila: "Yeah but I prefer Christian, he is funnier and he is in the girls' team"
Guys...if you want to hold onto a girl more than 3 days, be funny!

Here are some better photos, François took of Mila's bedroom

Le weekend dernier, Mila nous a annoncé qu'elle était amoureuse de Gabriel...

Hier soir, elle nous a montré un joli dessin d'une petite fille et d'un garcon se tenant la main

Moi: "Est ce que c'est toi et Gabriel?"

Mila: "Non on s'est séparé"

Me: "Quoi?! Vous vous etes séparés?! Mais tu nous as dit que tu étais amoureuse de lui le weekend dernier"

Mila: "Yeah mais je préfere Christian, il est plus drole et il est dans l'équipe des filles"

Les garçons...si vous voulez garder une fille plus de trois jours, il va falloir etre drole! 

Voici de plus belles photos de la chambre de Mila prises par François.

5 greatest kitchens....my humble opinion!

A LOVE LETTER TO MY FIVE FAVORITE KITCHENS OF ALL TIME

#1 

The kitchen of Designer Kirsten Buckingham

You kitchen temptress with your black cabinets, sassy brassy hardware and amazing tiled floors...Your HUGE hot Wolf Range Stove and creepy moody oil painting on the hood....Your sultry lure gets me every time! 

 #2: 

Oh Windsor Smith.... 

How I love thee. 

Let me count the ways, starting with your checkered floors and ending with your wing backs and nickel pendants..I have even grown to love and accept your Chippendale chairs. 

Your romantic and sweet and if I was either of those things..we could date.

#3. Lonny Kitchen

 I don't know who designed this so please chime in with info. All I know is that Lonny debuted this Beauty...and I have been stalking it ever since. "Hey Lonny kitchen, What's Up? Wanna Mash Potatoes sometime?"

O0000h Yeah...sexy

#4. Commune

Everything that should be wrong with this kitchen is what somehow attracts me to it. Green cabinets and funky prison lights really speak to me here.. It's not a bad thing either that the patio connects to the kitchen....and that it is just as drool worthy on its own....

I call it the "prison in the woods" vibe....and I like it A LOT

 #5

Ahhh yes,  Rowan and Williams and your beautiful celebrity clientele. 

I know why they hire you.....cause you can decorate and design a mean ass sexy kitchen. Look at all this marble in Gwyneth's pretty palatial kitchen. All the white makes me feel like the chances of ever getting food poisoning eating from here would be slim to none. 

I would go so far to say you could lick/make-out with the floors...slurp!

Love on the outside..

 

I fell for this picture when I saw it in House Beautiful, it is everything I want for our outdoor space just beyond the dining room!  So refreshing and relaxed.  

I cannot believe it is already Thursday!  I am hoping that we can finally get the last touches into the bathroom in the next day or two so I can take a few pictures to share.  It is so slow to get those last things done..
