I must admit that I have always loved nice things and with time, trust me it does not get better, it gets worse!
One of my friends had repainted some of his rooms and it looks extremely refined yet terribly subtle and understated.
He used the Farrow and Ball paint “London Stone” colour for neutralising and bringing a touch of warmth to his gallery. What a great pick, it really works, giving a very polished earthy look that you could easily find in a beautiful hotel reception room – cosy yet very chic!
For his dining room he has used the Farrow and Ball “Saxon Green” which I was totally blown away by. Saxon Green is a deep rich green with a touch of Bronze; it is a beautiful classic that will put some depth in a room but keeping it somehow extremely soft. It is incredible how it sets off the wood of the furniture and transforms the room into an intimate yet exquisite living space.


I personally adore their “Pavilion Grey” for a bedroom used with “Strong White” for a clean contrast, it would look simply exceptional with the Milk and Honey Sucre Glace Silver finish bedding that would very delicately pick up the two shades and bring them alive. A true Robert Doisneau enchanting snap! I truly believe that you get what you pay for, and quality over quantity is essential to my life. It brings so much enjoyment for so much longer and is one of many of my tips to happiness; it works for me so I thought it would be nice to share it.

Why Milk and Honey? I wanted to add a little goodness to your life for your pleasure to sleep well and to live well. The idea grew from a dream since I was 16 years old to start my own business and it never left me ever since!
Being a Parisian and having a passion for textiles that runs in my family from mother to daughter and adoring interior design, modern art, photography (Robert Doisneau), poetry (Jacques Prevert) and most of all humankind, ( I would like to thank my Mum and Dad for all these gifts!) it felt natural to create my own label. I was inspired by my favourite artists and beautiful stories that touched me throughout my life.
My husband is blaming me for loving nice products (ok, luxury products!), after all I can still justify having spent €120 on a Prada keyring which is a timeless piece of beautiful perfection and craftsmanship. I love something “special” about anything or anyone, is that a bad thing?

This love for perfection and humankind made me develop this passion for quality over quantity. That’s how Milk and Honey was born. I wanted to create style and luxury in your home without the conscience so my philosophy would be to be a responsible business towards ethics, the environment and quality.
Classic Style Silver FinishMilk & Honey offers gorgeous cotton satin bed linen with a smooth and velvety touch, fluffy cotton towels, naturally filled duvets and pillows, refined table linen and an adorable range for your little ones. All our goods are made from natural fibres and made within the European Union because as a company we pride ourselves in being responsible and caring for humankind, nature and quality. Milk & Honey have sourced exceptional raw materials for all our goods to ensure craftsmanship and perfection – something that is becoming less and less attainable in today’s global marketplace.
But without my so supportive husband Matthew (I have been mad enough to start whilst just having had a little daughter!) and without all the belief and faith from all my family and friends, I would probably not be here right now…
I really really want you to start enjoying the finer things in life like I do – sharing is one of the best kept secrets to happiness…
Speak to you soon
