muse-en-scene: Closer

Closer, est l’adaptation cinématographique de la pièce de théâtre Closer  écrite en 1997 par l’auteur britannique Patrick Marber.

Le réalisateur Mike Nichols évoque en quelques mots Closer, entre adultes consentants : "Si on y réflechit, on se souvient généralement très bien du début et de la fin de nos relations amoureuses, mais on a tendance à oublier ce qu’il y a eu entre les deux. Closer, aborde aussi cela. Comment nous souvenons-nous réellement des choses et comment la vie nous apparaît-elle vraiment ?".  (citation via: allocine.)

Bien que très théâtrale -car ca en est une a la base- et tourne entièrement a l’ intérieur, Closer est un film qui ennuie pas, (du moins pas moi) grâce au jeu d’acteurs époustouflants.  J’aime particulierement le personnage de Larry, le médecin qui, dans le film, apparait comme le personnage le plus archaïque, le moins libre d’esprit parmi les 4 protagonistes et qui ironiquement tient les discours les plus plein d’esprits.

LARRY: Well, I'll see to myself in the elle decoration bathroom.
ANNA: You chose that bathroom.
LARRY: And every time I wash in it I feel dirty. It's cleaner than I am. It's got attitude. The mirror says, "Who the fuck are you?"
ANNA: You chose it.
LARRY: Doesn't mean I like it. We shouldn't have this.
ANNA: I hear middle class guilt.
LARRY: Working class guilt.

traduction:

Larry: Bon, je compenserai dans la salle de bain "elle decoration"

Anna:  C’est toi qui l’as choisi!

Larry:Je me sens sale dedans. Elle me bat en proprete, elle me snobe. La glace m’envoie chier.

Anna: Tu l’as choisie!

Larry: Ca ne veut pas dire que je l’aime. On n’aurait pas du avoir tout ca.

Anna: J’entends "la mauvaise conscience bourgeoise"

Larry: La mauvaise conscience prolétaire!

Mais regardez moi ce loft! Bon, je comprends la mauvaise conscience bourgeoise, mais en même temps, qui ne voudrait pas habiter un loft pareil, hein? Murs en briques blancs (ce qui est très prisé en ce moment), la chaise vintage, le bureau d’architecte, la table de ferme, le sol en béton, les photos en noir et blanc, la porte coulissante et en applique, les poteaux, les vitres….Tout y est beau, y compris les acteurs!

Who is the coolest now?!

Whoooo Hooooooo! I won! I won THE red vintage looking SMEG fridge! You can see the article here on Marie Claire Maison’s site (in french).Huge thanks to Marie Claire Maison staff, they made me very happy! I am already imagining how my future kitchen look like…I will move the vintage sign to the kitchen, it will go perfectly well with the fridge. I’ll make a more industrial and vintage look all in concrete-white-black-grey and red :) Now remains one detail: to find an appartment!!!!Oups! Maybe shall I first get a JOB to be able to rent a flat huh?

Olééééééééé!!!Olllééééééééééé!Youpiiiiiiiiiii! J’ai gagnééééé le frigo au look vintage de SMEG! Vous pouvez voir l’article ici, sur le site du Marie Claire Maison. Un énorme merci à MCM, vous m’avez vraiment gâté!

J’imagine déjà à quoi ma future cuisine ressemblera…Je vais bouger ce panneau vintage dans la cuisine, ça ira parfaitement avec le frigo. Puis, j’opterais plus pour un look vintage-industrielle en rouge-noir-blanc-gris! ça va être chouette! Il reste maintenant un petit detail: trouver un appartement! Ou plutôt un travail d’abord, histoire de pouvoir louer un appartement!!!! Aie! :/

I love these kitchens…The presence of Smeg puts undeniably an accent of class.

J’aime beaucoup ces cuisines… La présence de Smeg met indéniablement une touche de classe!

enfin, merci!

J’étais encore de passage a Paris pour 4 jours pour faire la demande de visa vietnamien. A part l’obligation de prendre multiples fois le RER B et le métro parisien pour me rendre aux services publiques et diplomatiques dans ces temps caniculesques, ce séjour était très très sympa! J’ai pu voir plein d’amis, découvrir de nouveaux bars et cafés, me promener avec allégresse dans mes quartiers préférés, et surtout voir des vitrines, des magasins qui m’inspirent énormément. Merci etait un de ces magasins.

Malheureusement j’ai pu faire les photos qu’avec mon i-phone car j’avais honte de prendre des photos…d’ou la mauvaise qualite d’image!

my home@marie claire maison

hello hello,

I finally did it! I could tidy my place and take pictures around and post it on "marie claire maison"s "bienvenue chez vous" (welcome to your place) page. As we are soon moving from this flat and we are kind of broke, it would be perfect to win either their lovely habitat ella couch Or the SMEG fridge!

You can see the entire house tour here and like it if you feel like it!

I’ll post the pictures after the contest is over at the end of the month.

my coolest customized fridge

Hello my dears,

This weekend I was up to customizing my fridge for Marie Claire Maison’s contest. If my fridge wins, I’ll have a SMEG which is my everlasting dream fridge. Plus my fridge is dying, there is water coming out of it because it’s door won’t close properly :( … I can’t afford a new fridge right now! (thus my efforts to customize a dying fridge!) I really really really want to win this!

You could help me by "like"ing it on marie claire maison’s facebook page :)

Cross your fingers for me xox

nursery inspiration

This post is a request from a friend who will soon have a baby girl! She lives in Dubai so I can only help her by giving her some inspiration and online support ;)

First off, check this awesome website out to be inspired. It’s amazingly well done with a huge variety of styles for nurseries. The picture below is one of their works, it’s pretty amazing.

Second, ohdeedoh has a collection of nursery tours to give you some inspiration. What is really good about this website is that, there are interviews with each parent/creator full of valuable advices about creating a nursery.

I think the shortest way to make a nursery is to focus on the walls. Only by painting the walls with a vivid color, by covering with wallpapers or by simply putting posters.

If you don’t want to make any big work like painting, you can also create the ambiance with fabrics. Colorful, illustrated curtains, bedding, rugs and pillows will do easily.

As you see in the images below, you can create a playful and sweet nursery by simply hanging lanterns of different styles, colors or sizes.

Hope this post helps you my friend! Courage! Everything will be awesome! :) )))

Moriarty’s Paris home

I generally don’t envy people…But this is so gorgeous that it makes me cry: a beautiful couple, making beautiful music, living in a beautiful place…If i knew them personally, i would give them an "evil eye" for their protection from envious people like me ;P

Now I see better how they make such inspirational tunes!

vintage american sign in Caen

I found this sign in the flea market while i was buying the rug for my kitchen. I don’t have anything red in my home, and to be frank, i am not a red fan for interiors. But sometimes, there are some exceptions.

I instantly liked this one, first because of the nice typography, and secondly the funny feeling about finding in Caen, an American shop sign made for their Paris address probably looong time ago! How did it ever come here even?!

my kitchen/dining finished…almost

Yaay, I finally have something that looks like a kitchen! For this post i only reveal the dining part. Since i begun re-painting the kitchen dresser, i also painted the table which was a classical old blue formica table. I bought the rug from a flea market which i brought to the laundry (of course) and collected some old mirrors.I changed the ugly lights we had before with those classical paper lanterns, and I found the crocheted cloth in Emmaus that i use as a curtain….

The blue closet on the background was supposed to go on the wall on top of the sink as we don’t have any storage in the kitchen. But We will move in 3 months from here, so we decided not to drill more holes. Besides, it made the spot for our cat.

I’ve found this plexi box with 3 compartments, it was thrown out by a cosmetic shop. It fitted perfectly my side table and provides multiple storage, exactly what i needed!

The box wrapped with paper like a gift that you see on the background is Maki’s spot in the kitchen. He likes to be with us when we are dining as though he is participating to our discussions :)

I am collecting all kind of prints and paintings with cats. This one on the fridge is quiet kitsch! I like it!

The blue shelve and the top of the side table is the "morning spot" with coffee cups, coffee machine,kettle and the toaster.

The two chairs from 50′s are also found in the street, the other two were in the family garage. I want to replace them by thonets one day.

As i am a big follower and disciple of Emmaus, they know me now and even make me little gifts from time to time if I make a big purchase. This trivet is one of their gifts. I like it although the ceramic is cracked.
