The book is a peak inside our home and family life. It includes tips and inspiration for handmade ideas and inspiring home decor. It, of course, includes plenty of paper cutting and fun activities to do with your children.
We've been huge fans of édition Paumes for quite sometime, amassing a rather large collection of their wonderful books on European interior style, family homes and culture.
They came to live with us over a couple of weeks and we had a ball creating all number of decorative ideas. They have a wonderful style and interest in the smallest of details which we hope comes across well in the book.
The book is available for pre-sale NOW on our site. Just click here.
The book is mostly written in Japanese but all of the titles are in English and there is plenty of translation throughout. To be honest all of édition Paumes' books are incredibly visual, so you can rely on the images to give you all the detail that you need!

Simon completed the Etape du Tour on Sunday. We are all so proud of him as it was a hell of a race: more than 10 hours on the saddle, climbing a total of 5000 metres over 150km. Over 7000 people started, only 4500 finished. Bravo à notre champion!
We're in the Alps near Chamonix for few days as Simon is taking part in L'Etape du Tour this Sunday (one stage of the Tour de France) cycling 150km including 5 peaks, some as high as 2000 meters. It will be one of his biggest sport challenge to date (after London and NYC marathons) but he has been training on his bike every day over the past few months so he's fit for the day! It will be a busy on the mountain narrow roads as more than 7000 cyclists will take part in the race. The children and I will be there to encourage him, Lucien and Ophelia ready to shout 'Allez Papa!'
Wish him good luck! Image from Rapha.
