The 17th century home of stylist Marthe Desmoulins and her partner is a modern interpretation of the cabinets of curiosity that were in vogue at that time, with nature as the main theme throughout their home — walls are alive with flowery wallpaper, organically shaped lighting and furniture (much of it sourced from flea markets) appears in each room as though it grew there, a bedspread has a design inspired by tree trunks, and natural pigments set off images of insects and animals. A fascinating home, it must be instinctive, too — Marthe's grandfather was a professional gardener. More details (in French) here. Via Marie Claire Maison.

I adore the dining room in the top picture!
Hi Lori...I love that tent/awning concept in the last photo. I've been mulling over getting lengths of Sunbrella striped fabric and grommets and tall (bamboo?) poles for an imprompto sun shade pitched over a sunny set of french doors (esp. when it hits 100 degrees here...). Thanks for the great shots.
It reminds me of a doll house! A really cool one...
