Swiss Fun Friday Find - DEUX

I live in a beautiful old building in Lausanne and it's only fault is that it only has one toilet! That's right I said one toilet! As we have family and friends visiting during the year and a toddler who now uses the toilet and can not wait in line...some days I wish we had a port-o-potty!

Today I came across this unusual find on http://www.anibis.ch/:


How great would that antique commode look in a room! Think my guests would look at me crazy when I tell them to use the antique chair and to be sure to empty the pan everyday....it would come in handy.

Affordable Beautiful Furniture Store in Lausanne!

I stopped by Anna today and they had several items on sale for a bargain. I am disappointed as I took pictures of the items with my camera phone, but unable to upload those pictures at the moment. Here is the name and address of the store:

Anna, L'art de vivre
Rue du Grand-Pont 8
CH-1003 Lausanne
Tél. +41 21 647 76 69

They are located before the second Starbucks in Lausanne near Flon. Below are a few pictures from their site here:

A beautiful mirrored dresser from Anna

(this is a shout out to my husband for our anniversary, hint, hint).

Gorgeous chair and desk from Anna.

Another dresser from Anna...love the four mirrors and lamp,

I even like the silver horse head on display here.

I discovered this store months ago and it's actually where I purchased my black Lucite side table pictured in my previous post here. I got it on sale for half off in the store. The prices of their furniture in the store seems much more affordable then the prices they have listed on their website. Actually I hardly even see any furniture they have on display inside the actual store even listed on their website.....my advise, skip the website and just go visit the store.

Every time I stop by there each week I always see some fabulous gilded side table, vase, pillows or work on art 20 to 40% off! Right now they have an awesome linen tuft sofa on display in their store that I am in love with....

Happy Weekend!

Dlisted is the first site I read when I wake up, gotta stay on top of the latest celeb gossip!

It's almost Friday!

Lausanne, Switzerland

What a beautiful sunny day this has been. Now it's evening and the sun is setting and a cool breeze coming off Lake Geneva is blowing through the windows. I feel so blessed to be able to live here in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Picture I took of Lausanne Gare.

I love the Lausanne city life.

Diagonal Stripe Curtains!

I have found my perfect curtains for my salon...these diagonal stripe curtains! They would look perfect with all my granny furniture. Wish I could find them in a soft gray and cream diagonal stripe.

I love this whole room and the curtains are speaking to me. The fabric on the head and foot board is from Toiles de Mayenne, but can not find the source of the curtain fabric. Wonder if this was custom made with lots of vertical stripe fabric or if it's possible to buy fabric already in this design. Will keep searching.

Anibis Find

I found this vintage stool on www.anibis.ch for a really good price. It looks like the end of the legs need some work. It would go perfect in my salon and put a little yellow in my room that I desperately need. Not sure if I really need one more project to do....my plate is a bit full at the moment.

Hmmm to buy or not to buy....

Bergére Chaise

Just came across this Téo Jasmin Bergére Chaise in the latest Maison Créative magazine and it's just adorable! It's my style chair and my kids would love the dog printed on the fabric. Beautiful and fun. I seriously need this in my salon!


If I only had 1400€ laying around to spend on one chair....it's nice to dream about.
