House tour {a cosy french apartment}

How lovely is this cosy apartment? The owners, artists Myriam and Dominique, wanted to escape the hectic Parisian lifestyle and sought a change of pace, so they moved to this beautiful apartment located in Nimes, in the South of France. 


I adore the bright colours used and different textures, creating an eclectic feel that is incredibly inviting. In stark contrast to the rest of the apartment, the bedroom is left white and decorated in muted tones, creating a perfect sanctuary.




I hope you had a wonderful weekend; mine was spent celebrating M's birthday which was lots of fun!

    I love the contrast between the bedroom and the brightness of the rest of the apartment. The rustic white bedroom is however my favourite space. Hope you have a wonderful week! :)Ada
