More of "chez moi"

I've been busy as a bee redesigning my home office [hence the many home office moodboards lately], and it's still a chaotic spot in the house, so no pictures to show yet. I prefer to show you spots around "mon chez moi" that make me feel like home  -  you know that "ha!" feeling when you browse around the special corners of your house. These are my little "ha!" spots, from my moodboard to the family scrabble magnet message board [translates as "Mom, can we get more French Tagada candy? Non!"] or the wall crepe recipe we use almost every sunday... The last pic is a project my 11-year-old-daughter and I just finished: we were desperately looking for some cool black vine wall stickers, but in vain. So we decided to go crazy and draw directly on the wall with sharpie - yes, regular sharpie - pens, the idea behind this was that if we screwed up, a fresh coat of pain would take care of the problem. And voila! The result is amazing! Ines added some 3D effect butterflies - less than 10 bucks at Target and the result is pretty striking. She loves it and says it now looks like a perfect teen bathroom, not too girly, but still girly enough. She's happy, so I'm happy!
