Why, hello there! How was your weekend? It’s been snowing all morning here in Malmö – such a perfect excuse to pad around at home in chunky knit socks! I was so happy to see many of you also loved graphic designer, artist and interior decorator ‘ on Friday. There’s something so special about her style. As mentioned Zoe and her lovely family: husband Benjamin, daughter Olya (6), son Sacha (4) and dog Napoleon (1!) divide their time between Paris’ 2nd arrondissement and their country home in Normandy, near Vernuil-sur-Avre, around one and half hours from the capital. When they first acquired the country house, it was in desperate need of some TLC. The family have been painstakingly renovating it, adding their unique touch – while being careful to maintain the beautiful original features. Bienvenue!
Glass windows dividers are one of Zoé’s signature design traits; she’s used them in her , and country home. I absolutely love them too. They offer a perfect way to maintain a light and airy, open plan feel while creating more intimate zones. The ones in this kitchen appear to be vintage (source beautiful vintage panes here*).
I’m not sure, but guessing that the original tiled floors throughout the ground floor were one of the reasons the family fell in love with the home. Aren’t they stunning?
Anyone else now considering looking for a home deep in the country to do up? I’ll be dreaming about this all week now!
In cased you missed it, you can take a peek at the family’s Paris home and read more about Zoé’s latest projects (there’s also a load more pics on her ).
So friends, shall we go all out French again today? Why not! Here are a few spaces I’ve featured in the past and love:
Have a fabulous start to the week!

PS Oh and my Lagom book is– just in case any of my wonderful French friends fancy a read. I have such fond memories of my time in Paris over the launch! What a great city / country!
