Life On the Brink

Home Sweet Maison: Embracing French style and ritual in the home


Listen Later

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 95 of Life On the Brink!

I’m so excited for today’s episode, as it’s inspired by a delightful book that focuses on the art of designing one’s home while speaking to my Francophile heart. The book is “Home Sweet Maison: The French Art of Making a Home” by Danielle Postel-Vinay, and what a delight it is!  Much about the French way of living aligns with what I try to emphasize here at Life On the Brink: the celebration of the everyday, finding comfort in curated rituals, and emphasis on conversation and culture, among others. To that end, I have carefully combed through this book, making note of the things that I either have already enjoyed in my home or am now inspired to incorporate as I continue to renovate and decorate.

This episodes includes:
-ways to highlight the living and cooking spaces
-embracing the joy of mealtime rituals
-living with both thrift and luxury
-new organization techniques
-ways to connect your home to those in it

Plus, this week's Little Joy (actually two!) are the season premiers of some fantastic summer shows, and I'm sharing a classic French album to bring a whimsical atmosphere to your home.
