Fall rhymes with pies and tarts, am I right? All that wonderful, seasonal produce is just begging to be included in the most comforting recipes. But to be honest, I don't always have those pretty farmer's market fresh fruit and veg to hand when I fancy a slice of pie (or tart). So this is where my Bakewell Tart recipe comes in SO handy! This tart recipe uses all store cupboard (shop bought) ingredients, is super easy to make and comes together in a flash!
This year, Halloween is a little more demure at ours. So, I opted for creating a few decorations that would reflect a "calmer" and more cozy vibe with neutral colors and a more paired-down style. To be honest, I much rather prefer this black and white, clean, modern monochrome vibe than anything too loud anyways! Not to mention that, (apart from the spider webs) this décor can be re-purposed for the November and Fall months too!
I'm a coffee lover and cannot lie! ☕🥰 So naturally, I take so much pleasure in creating a little coffee nook in the studio and changing its decor each season. Especially since we've been spending so much at home lately, a designated coffee bar or coffee station adds such a fun and cozy vibe to any room, especially during the cooler Fall season! Sometimes I like to "go all out", particularly for the Holidays, and add some sweet treats to my coffee bar like the coffee and donuts bar I styled last winter . But for now, here are some easy DIY crafts that you can replicate to decorate your coffee bar for Fall!
Even though the temps are still pretty hot where I live, Fall is officially here! Inspired by all the pretty autumnal colors around my garden and the local French countryside, I styled a blush tablescape that would be perfect for any celebration you may be hosting this season. Or simply to dress a pretty table for brunch! Since some of us are still homeschooling or working from home, I find that adding little touches of seasonal décor and comfort, not only serve to "dress up" the space we're living in, but also helps to cheer things up a bit!
Now that school has started, I find myself making this gluten-free banana bread in batches on the weekend, and serving it up for breakfast, snack and dessert throughout the week! This is such a quick and easy recipe to make, not to mention that it's also gluten free (my husband is gluten intolerant) and is super nutritious too! I like to serve it with fresh fruit, yogurt or cream cheese, and a drizzle of honey for a wholesome start to our day. But in all honesty, this banana bread is pretty tasty on its own, and needs nothing else. Apart from maybe a cup of coffee on the side? 😉
There are so many things I love about fall. The cooler evenings, the changing colors of the leaves outside, the beautiful harvest produce on our tables, and the magical lighting this time of year are just a few of my favorite things about it! So taking inspiration from this season's beauty, I styled a botanical inspired tablescape that's perfect to transition from summer, into a more cozy fall mood! Check out all my 5 easy DIY projects below to help you copy this botanical tablescape look at home!
How is it back to school season already?! 🤪 Anyways, I thought today I'd share some fun, easy and inexpensive ideas for styling your office, work desk, or dorm room workspace in a modern farmhouse style! Of course, if modern farmhouse is not your cup of tea, then hopefully you'll still be able to draw inspiration from these craft projects and create a work space that reflects your tastes, and that motivates you to stay on top of work, whatever that may look like at the moment! So let's get crafting!
I know summer is nearly over, but fear not! With this t ropical, savory rice dish you're sure to keep those summer vibes going a little while longer! 😉 Plus, it makes a great lunch or bento box addition! This tropical rice dish is something we serve quite a lot in summer, as it pairs beautifully with barbecued or grilled meats. But it's also a great dish on its own with a side salad, if you don't fancy firing up the grill!
My friend Virginie, editor of the french blog Maman DIY and of the french magazine La Tribu des Idées , created and styled this beautiful birthday party, to celebrate her son's 5th birthday party! I've had the photos in my hands for a little while ... but since it's THE summer season, there is no better time to show you her fun and creative ideas! 🐬🌊🦀🐟
Today, I bring you a super cool DIY that will keep on reminding you of summer, even when it's over!

Hi friends! Today I bring you another "trash to treasure" project that's perfect for summer - a DIY outdoor bar! It's basically an outdoor table that can be used for soooo many occasions! I have used this modern farmhouse-style table as a bar whenever we cook outdoors or have a BBQ. But this is such a handy little table, that you can use it to serve snacks, use it as a patio buffet table, as a desserts station or even as a potting bench! Hope you feel inspired to create one for all your summer entertaining needs! 😎
Ever since making my Hibiscus Margarita , I've been obsessing over new ways to include Hibiscus in other recipes. I know that iced tea is not necessarily a groundbreaking recipe to use hibiscus in, but since summer's here, I'm sharing another tasty beverage that you can whip up in no time to refresh your taste buds! This hibiscus iced tea is also super pretty, and the ideal drink to serve to the whole family at your 4th of July celebrations!
