Monday

A lovely photo dedicated to those, like me, who aren't morning people — especially on a Monday. Have a good one.

Black, White and Yellow

Paper designer Catherine Dupon adores the colour black — her company PollyPaperie features table runners, placemats, coasters and other table accessories made of sustainable papers in predominantly black geometric designs. Her elegant home is also an ode this dramatic hue, offset by white, ochre yellow and the warmth of natural wood. Lovely. More here on Côté Maison.
