This weekend, I wanted to do something different.  When it’s gray and rainy, it’s difficult to find something to do…
So my boyfriend and I end up going to see the Chinese Lanterns at the Botanical Garden in Montreal. Was very nice, I love lanterns.

Afterward, we stayed in the same theme and we went to have dinner at a very kitsch restaurant called Le Jardin Tiki. You don’t go there for the food but more for the place! The ceiling is filled with vintage lanterns.

Here are some snapshots of my weekend:

It’s gray and rainy in Montreal… While I was walking around town, I couldn’t help but notice all the small glimpses of colors here and there. Here are a few pictures!

C’est gris et pluvieux à Montréal… Pendant que je marchais en ville, je n’ai pas pu résister de prendre quelques clichés de couleurs. En voici quelques unes!

And as you can see the pic below wasn’t taken in Montreal, but I just love the ceiling. What a great idea!

Art Deco is s an eclectic artistic and design style that began in Paris in the 1920s. The structure of Art Deco is based on mathematical geometric shapes.

This Fall, Anthropologie has an “Art deco” jewellery collection. I love the delicate earrings and necklaces. Here are some images from that beautiful era.

A few weeks ago, a popular website asked me to send them pictures of my home to (maybe) showcase on their site. I doubt that I’ll be chosen because the homes featured are spectacular. I’m quite happy with my place, but since I still rent and thought of moving soon, I didn’t update the deco for a while. Everything in my home has been found (or made) in Montreal. I love that everything has a little story. Since I cleaned up all day to take the pictures, I thought I shared them with you:)

Here’s a sneak peek of my place located in the beautiful Mile-End on Hutchison Street!

I bought this amazing vintage turquoise sofa from a 80 years old lady that kept it in a such a great condition. Was a real bargain!

My corner to read the newspaper and have breakfast.

This Russian big plate is my most precious vintage finding. It’s written made in USSR in the back!
Second living room. Teak heritage from our families.
Some 1960s tiles.
 When we moved we didn’t know what to do with the dining room. We had all that space but no big table. We decided to make one!
This is the stereo of my grandmother. I found it in her basement with a pile of boxes on top of it! The radio still work!
Our very “urban” backyard. It’s a great place to have bbq and chill out at night.
We “found” that street sign in the street!

Some of La Raffinerie necklaces are now made with semi-precious stones. One of my favorite stone is the amazonite. I love its light turquoise shade.
Here’s a sneak peak of the Vienna necklace available here and of the Tassel turquoise earrings.

Quelques colliers La Raffinerie sont maintenant fabriqués à partir de pierres semi-précieuses. Ma favorite est l’amazonite. J’adore sa teinte turquoise.
Voici un aperçu du collier Vienna disponible ici et des boucles Tassel turquoise.
