home feature: miranda brooks' brooklyn house

I stumbled upon the stunning home of Miranda Brooks and Bastien Halard when sourcing this below image for a girl's room design.

Its one of my favorite little girl's room and her other daughter's room is just as sweet and romantic.

Located in Brooklyn, the home has a distinctly European flair with a compromise being met between Brooks - an English landscape architect - and Halard - a French architect:

 "The first floor would be French, with white oak flooring inspired by the parquet à point de Hongrie typical of Parisian apartments. The middle floor would be English, with Marthe Armitage hand-printed wallpaper in the girls’ rooms—horse chestnuts for Grey and a mélange of butterflies, birds, and spiderwebs for Poppy. And the top floor would evoke New York in spirit, a place where compromises and concessions had to be made" (Vogue).

Of all the rooms in the house, the garden space seems to be the most magical especially with two pet bunnies.

The original Vogue article is worth the read as Brooks and Halard seem to live quite the life....

Have a great weekend!

outdoor throw pillows

It was such a beautiful weekend here. We gardened, hung out on our porch, ate dinner outside, went to the first farmers market of the season and generally just enjoyed the 70+ degree weather. This past weekend made me even more excited for spring/summer and so I have outdoor spaces on the mind big time. Specifically, some great outdoor throw pillows that I have seen lately. Check out the below round up for some current favorites!
