July 1, 2021
  • Share

Get inspired by this Venice Beach cottage backyard tour to take your outdoor space to the next level. This cottage is owned by a close friend of mine, Charlotte. She completely transformed a drab backyard into an outdoor escape that is ready to entertain at a moment’s notice.

The sage green fireplace acts as the main gathering point in the yard. The addition of greenery and potted plants helps frame this space as the main feature. The garden stone flooring in this seating area give this space an upscale feel.

A wide view highlights the bold pink umbrella that overarches the seating area. The white metal outdoor furniture is paired with a plethora of throw pillows in orange, and taupe stripes that pair well with the umbrella. Together they create a full-color palette that pops against the greenery.

When in doubt add greenery. This backyard space has an incredible wall of greenery that makes this space feel serene and hidden from the hustle and bustle.

The dark grey stairs create a nice contrast to the otherwise light color palette. An easy solution to give your patio an instant upgrade is a fresh coat of paint.

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

A little softness, a little sheen, and suddenly the room feels lived in and elevated.
Would you bring velvet into your home?

It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ It started with an invitation. I met @hugobesnier_ , founder and designer of luxury furniture brand @hartisparis_ at a small gathering in the 7ème, near the Musée d’Orsay. I was there with my new friends, Scarlette and Sarah.
The apartment itself was incredible! Tall ceilings, terrazzo floors, right along the Seine, but what really stood out was the furniture.
Turns out, it was Hugo's exquisite work.
The pieces are designed around everyday gestures: sitting, leaning, resting, but interpreted in a way that feels elevated and intentional. There’s a balance of structure and softness, where architectural lines meet more organic textures and forms.
He invited me back the next day to see everything more clearly, outside of the party setting, and it completely changed how I experienced it. The pieces feel intentional and refined, with a strong focus on material and form.
Sharing a closer look at his work here.
My Paris dream life keeps happening again and again!

Spaces where the bones do all the talking. Vaulte Spaces where the bones do all the talking.
Vaulted ceilings, warm wood, and light pouring in. Everything feels grounded, layered, and quietly inviting.
What detail stands out to you first? 🤎
