As part of my journey into interior design, I recently completed my first project at the Interior Design Institute — an in-depth analysis of an apartment designed by Arthur Casas in Paris.

More than a technical exercise, this assignment became an invitation to observe space with new eyes: to notice not only furniture, but flow. Not only color, but emotion.

I explored the seven core elements of design — space, lines, shapes, color, texture, light, and pattern — and how they interact through principles like balance, rhythm, emphasis, proportion, and harmony.

What stood out to me most was how everything “breathes” in this apartment. The negative space (what isn’t there) becomes just as important as the pieces that are. The way light touches the raw wood beams. The quiet strength of horizontal lines.

It reminded me that good design is not just about what we add — but what we allow to remain open.

I have some exciting news to share! I just enrolled in the Interior Design course at the Interior Design Institute.

I reached a pivotal moment in my life where I decided to stop waiting for my dreams to come true. For far too long, I focused on pleasing others, trying to distract myself from my true path.

Now, in my 40s, I’ve become a conscious and strong woman, yet I felt something was missing. I knew deep down that I wasn’t pursuing what truly fulfilled me.

I am passionate about beauty and love being surrounded by it—architecture, textiles, materials, furniture, colors, shapes, and art! Unfortunately, my role as Director of Operations didn’t provide that creative spark.

Now, I’m thrilled to embark on this important journey. I will pour my heart and soul into it, eager to see what incredible opportunities lie ahead!

Quem quiser conhecer um autêntico caberet tem que ir ao Aux Trois Mailletz, no Quartier Latin, em Paris.

Durante à noite rolam ótimas apresentações de músicos amadores. Mas não vai achando que é boring. O lugar é super animado e conta com um set list internacional.

Dois momentos inesquecíveis: 1) A performance do Pascal. (Vídeo aqui) *desolée, não é o de ontem 2) Apresentação de dança do ventre. (que raiva!)

Muito legal essa radio de Paris. "Original de musiques du monde, électro, reggae, new wave, jazz et hip hop en direct de Paris, France, pour les amateurs de bonne musique underground."

First time living alone. First time away from my family. First time living in Paris. Esse é o momento mais excitante da minha vida. Consigo sentir as novidades acontecendo no ar. Respiro arte, reparo no estilo, me surpreendo e me questiono. Tento entender, copiar e me vejo vivendo em Paris. Content e desolée.

É muito bom estar aqui. Experiência para vida toda. Tempos que nem passaram e já sinto saudades porque sei que vou sentir. Porque sei que isso é fascinantemente único.
