the house that fell from sky & other stories
The house that fell from sky could be the tittle for a story book for kids and the images above, the illustrations.
French artist Jean-François Fourtou loves to play with the ideas of perspective and childhood worlds of imagination and magic. Playing with proportion and scale, Fourtou’s houses are inspired by personal memories of childhood and the disproportion of scenes from books such as Alice in Wonderland or Gulliver’s Travels. The experience of walking on the ceilings must evoke both a disorienting and funny feeling…and what about sharing table with a natural scale giraffe in your dining room? XO

it’s a celebration!
It’s celebration time at xo-inmyroom!
Last week, a year since we started this blog, after more than 100 post, and the good friends we’ve made…we had a good reason to celebrate. Was Pablo’s birthday too, and this yummy cake, all in pink (thank you, Yolanda!) was for Olivia’s. Already 18 and such a beauty!
And not to forget: spring is here! XO
happy easter!
Easy DIY easter egg decoration. All you need is: white hard boiled eggs (they’re easier for little hands to hold this way), some stickers (any shape you like: stars, hearts, polka dots…), paint (neon colors look great!) and a brush. Remove stickers when paint is dry.
Happy easter! XO
