Dreams are not without meaning wherever thay may come from - from fantasy, from the elements, or from other inspiration.
Paracelsus 

Is there something like poetry in interior design? If so, you may find it in these special arrangements by Mathilde Hardy for her E-shop "Les Petits Bohèmes". You can find handmade toys, home accessoires, vintage furniture and more. Her style reminds me of the film "Amelie", and it gets me dreaming. How lovely for a child (and for big ones too!), to be surrounded by so much inspiration!

    Oh Martina, there is something wonderful about the CHILDLIKE things that we collect. First of all, I love your choices of art and collections because though I tend to go more with antiques, your sense of style and color has captured my senses. You have a seasoned and professional quality to your own paintings and the works you share are EXQUISITELY crafted. I LOVE THIS LINK you have provided and what other name could be better than LES PETITS BOHÈMES....that is so appropriate for the whimsy and sentimentality that these objects give us! Oh how I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! HAPPY DAY MY DEAR...it is raining here; I understand that parts of Europe are under the rain too.....enjoy each moment!! BISES, Anita

    I just love that birdhouse wall. They are so beautiful. Each image feels so raw but so fresh & quirky at the same time. This is a really nice collection.

    Love the birdhouse contrasts against the wall - also the others. I'm a sucker for those types of interior walls.
