It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas...

...it's snowing outside and I just had some little time to decorate my little tree from the garden.

Ho Ho Ho

Before and After Ikea kitchen island...

...was a birthday present for my mum's holiday house.

 



Before

After

It was standing for ages in my garage, alone and naked. Once my mum was here she asked my bf what I am gonna do with it?

If I am gonna throw it into the trash, we should tell her.

 

So he whispered into my ear that my mum wants it for her holiday house. So finally I found something that motivated me to remodel it into a nice white/brown kitchen island.

 

For the towels I installed three antic heels to the side.

 

 

Et voilà

healthy salad...

...go grab it

Shabby frames...

Paris and back...

...just for a little timeout before winter and Christmas we went to Paris. It was beautiful fall weather with nice colors, sunshine and a little bit of rain.

We had a cool place to stay in the middle of the shopping centre Les Halles. You can find some cool crépe stands, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, shoe and clothing shops. If you go half mile there is another place with a lot of secondhand shops and places to be.

Rue Quincampoix 70

The best Pizza ever we have eaten in a tiny Italian restaurant in Rue Quincampoix 70, the staff was really friendly and the price was $$, kinda cheap!

Massive salad, we shared it together

For lunch you can have from one of the 1'000 crepestands a crepe filled with jambon and cheese or for the sweet thong with nutella, marmalade or apple sauce.

One day we went to the Marché aux puces, and it was really a fleamarket. Crazy stands with so much trash a lot of people with brand clothing and shoes and just some random sellers on the street wanna sell you just one Mobilephone uhmm...?? or a fake Rolex??

We let these stands behind and walked threw the antique markets. Puhhh they have some heavy prices but beautiful stuff. But I don't find anything good, I think I make better jobs here ;)
