All wooden floors are now sanded and varnished. First time doing this job, and I have to say, it gives me so much pleasure to see the transformation of these forgotten wood boards.. @fefostudiony and @annapolons hands-on with this home renovation, bringing this beautiful old stone home back to life.

Working on many things at once. We have an amazing contractor and he’s flying hard to keep up with him 🙌🏼
This phase of the renovation is where the fun really begins.
I’ll be painting almost a dozen rooms, each with its own color, texture, and mood. This is the part I’ve been waiting for and the moment I can finally put my hands on the walls.
In between, visiting quarries, brocantes, and slowly moving through this dreamy home-studio, in the heart of the Cotentin peninsula, France.
Dreams come true, creating, building, and making everything within the house itself and my new studio. So grateful. To have all I love in one place, family, work nature and makers around me to collaborate in projects.

Things have expanded around here! Strategy and packaging at a larger scale, a growing wellness portfolio, and projects across new international markets.
Say hi or send a friend our way 👋🌎
The last time in a long while I’ll be wandering these shelves. 2026 brings new beginnings: more garden clogs (the real kind), wool knits, hammers and jam pots than silk dresses. Isn’t life a strange, beautiful dance?

Halloween and Dia de los Muertos but really Gaeleen’s ball of 2025, iconic as ever, in @robertbroadhurst eyes. 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️
