 Josephine Ryan is the owner of that enchanting house.  

Josephine Ryan è la proprietaria di questa casa meravigliosa.

The characteristic is the simplicity. 

La caratteristica è la semplicità.

The colors, the materials, the furnitures. Everything has his own personality .

I colori, i materiali, i mobili. Tutto ha una precisa personalità!

I wish I could Re- decor my apartment entirely!

Don't get me wrong. I love it so much, but I like to decor I always have new ideas...

Thanks god I can help some of you.

I receive emails asking advises on different things about decor.

Come vorrei poter riarredare il mio appartamento. Non pensate male. Mi piace tutto della mia casa ma ogni giorno ho un'idea nuova.

Grazie a Dio riesco ad aiutare qualcuna di voi.

Ricevo emails di richieste di aiuto e consigli di come decorare la casa.

I'll be back tomorrow... I'm thinking to start a series of posts about Christmas decoration, maybe some DIY...

Ci vediamo domani! Sto pensando di iniziare una serie di post sulle decorazioni natalizie e magari qualche DIY...

{Cottage Inspiration}

Thank God this week is at the end...

What about to move for the weekend to your holiday home? Faraway from pc, telephone, Tv, noise? I'm thinking to an isolated beach, with some friends , barbecue in the evening, sea and beach all day long, barefoot for the entire weekend to recharge the battery for another week!


This could be the right place. In France, a couple, bought this old fisherman's home in "Les Portes" one of the most quaint village of the Ile de Rè


They renewed la maison from head to toe using simple materials, neutral colors and mixing different style with à fil rouge... A touch of red everywhere!

It took 18 weeks to give a new face to that old house and the result is stunning!


It could be a lamp, a box or a "cafè" sign. Red is everywhere!


It's not the typical Cottage with blu everywhere, shells, stripes. It's something different. An old house that still has that old atmosphere and flavours but with a new face! It could be a family house where to spend every summer and weekends and where always come back . Full of memories, this is a place you can call "Home"...



The old style fridge is perfect for that simple kitchen. Nothing too modern or too new.


Three bedrooms each with a defined style and romantic names "Bois de la Rose", "Bois de Sable" and "Bois Flottè"




Two old shutters divide the "salle de bain" from the bedroom.

.... I'm sorry if I didn't come to visit you or comment on your posts, or answers to your emails and messages, but I need a short break to stay with my family for few days...

I'm back...and I'll get back to all of your kind messages! Thanks for being my strenght...

Have a nice weekend...hoping in just few hours of sun!

{Sweet chaotic days}

It's the chaos! Totally and defenitely and we are in the middle of it!

Yesterday we had the move. At 8.30 a truck come to pick up all our things and then we had to empty it and bring furnitures, boxes, poackages, bags, etc at the third floor of a very old building: No elevator, lots of steps (67!) and very very steep stairs!

just few things ...

But at the end we did it! The worst has passed easily! Now it's my turn! Do you remember the song "Girls just wanna have fun"?... I will!

I will enjoy every single moment and I will take care at every single detail! I'm not saying that I'll finish to decorate it in a week or even in a month. I'll take my time to find all the little things that will give a strong personality to our house!



I need to enter defenitely to understand what I need, what I'd love to have ... I need to live our house...





The thing I like the most in those days is my daily picnic...
