The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Here’s something new and cool. Instead of vinyl wall stickers, these beauties from Mae’s etsy shop are made from fabric. And they’re completely reusable. Renter’s rejoice! You can bring these with you when you move.

My name is Gabrielle Blair. I'm a designer and mother of six. We are currently living in a dreamy farmhouse in the French countryside. (I have to pinch myself each morning!) I post on the intersection of design and motherhood.

We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.
Here's something fun. Our family was featured in an episode of House Hunters International! Spoiler: we choose the gorgeous French Farmhouse. It's called La Cressonnière and we take pictures of it all the time. If you're curious, try these links:

Those are SUPER cute!
Beautiful – my daughter would LOVE these…
So sweet! I was looking at the vinyl adhesives, the fabric are so pretty. I love that my daughter can take these off the wall and put them back on. (Because she would do that to just about anything!) Bonus that she will not destroy them in the process!
