Dream Interiors & Accessories

When we walk on the street, we all pass by a gorgeous, stunning house from time to time.
I always wonder if the interior of the house, looks as luxurious as the exterior.
I'm taking you on a trip to my fantasy house from the inside and out!

This lovely NYC townhouse is a dream!




The entrance would have a double staircase like this:




It would have cute little chests around the house, played beautifully with decorations like this picture:




The hallway neighbouring the bedrooms would look this this one:




The master bedroom would have a glamorous tufted headboard.




The bedside has a tray of my favorite perfume bottles.




To complete the rooms perfectly, I would add a home perfume!
Lampe Berger Paris is a luxury brand of home frangrances and perfumes I recently discovered.
They're lamps and home frangrances are high quality and remains the best at fragrancing
the air in a house while diffusing subtle fragrances.

Maurice Berger was a pharmacy dispenser who invented and patented the first lamp
to purify the air in 1898.
I picked a few of my favorite lamps on their website:






Of course, the house wouldn't feel like home to me, without an accessory closet like this:




And all over the house, there would be beautiful decorations like these bathroom treasures.




What do you think of my dream home?

My Perfect Caribbean Getaway: Turks and Caicos islands!

From one dream destination to another...
I'm letting you in on a fantasy destination I'm dying to visit: Turks and Caicos!

Because with this somber, rainy weather here in Europe, everyone's longing for a sunny Caribbean getaway.
















Perfect Facebook cover photo!




Someone please reserve me a seat!!








You know how many women on Pinterest create their fantasy wedding boards?
Well, the Turks & Caicos would be on my honeymoon destination board!







According to Condé Nast Traveller, the Turks & Caicos islands are famous for their rum punch!





To make your own Turks & Caicos-inspired rum punch, you need:
3 ounces fresh pineapple juice
2 ounces fresh orange juice
1 ounce gold (or dark) rum + 1/2 ounce to pour on top
1 ounce coconut rum,
grenadine and lime to garnish




Turks & Caicos is one of the Holland America Line cruises stops.
You can see the Eurodam here arriving at port.




The Turks and Caicos islands are a British Overseas Territory consisting
of the larger Caicos Islands and smaller Turks Islands.
You can spot the Turks & Caicos on the center of the map.







Hope you all enjoyed this little getaway!
French Madame is already saving up money for her next adventure.

Turkish Delight in Turkey!

So my adventerous life took me to Turkey.
I attended a psychology congress, combining work with pleasure.

I flew to Izmir, which is the third largest city in Turkey.
My hotel was in a region called Özdere, by the sea.

My hotel was amazing!
When travelling to a non-Western country, I always advice to book
at least a 4 or 5-star hotel, as the rating system can differ from
country to country and you might find yourself in a yucky hotel.





Onyria Claros Beach & Spa Resort...







My accomodation was the top floor of a bungalow, and this was my view each morning.







The swimming pools were closeby.





As well as the beach.







The hotel had lovely surroundings.







A day on exursion led me to see the ruins nearby.





And the food was enjoyed with a great view, company and taste!

One of the perks of living on my own are no forceful conversations is the morning.
I like coming and going whenever I please, and sometimes, I leave the dishes for 2 whole days.
I especially loved decorating my place when I found my apartment.
It’s not very big, but I made the best of it.

One of the downsides of living on my own (or more specifically, my apartment) is
the lack of natural light.

I tried to make the best of it, and set the dining table near a window, as well as
my office desk, but still… an extra window here and there would come in handy.


This stunning house does not have the same issues as me ;)
I think the owners build a window in every, single room. Smart!



This room obviously has all the light in the world. From floor to ceiling nothing but window.




I adore this room. The color-scheme, the whimsy feel & the 3 joining windows, providing tons of light.




You might be familiar with VELUX® products.
VELUX company offers window blinds, roof windows, suntunnels among others.
Their motto? “Bring light to life”.

I found it interesting to read on their website www.velux.com that a case study showed
(watch out, I’m bringing the research-geek out in me!) the impact of natural light on humans.
A Danish research showed that installing something as simple as installing new windows and
bringing more daylight into our homes may have positive effects on our body clock and general health.
A VELUX high-quality roof window is a perfect option.





This kitchen demonstrates the perfect example of how roof windows can transform, not just
a singular room, but an entire apartment.
A VELUX daylight solution makes it all possible.
And for enjoyment and comfort, At the touch of a button, you can operate all your VELUX windows and accessories.
