Bonjour,

I wrote this one this morning while the lasagne was on and Margaret Whiting was playing in the kitchen. It kind of wrote itself. If you've ever felt like you were born in the wrong era, this one's for you. 🤍

For anyone who's ever felt like an old soul in a fast world — this one's for you. On slow living, vintage longing, and refusing to give up your dishwasher.

These beauties are in the process of being revamped. Be sure to stay tuned and see what becomes of them.

What would you do to them if they were yours?

Bonjour! With all the excitement of the launch over in Instagram I realised I completely forgot to share the big news here on Facebook.

Say hello to our latest release! Our very first issue of The Curated Life Journal! Fur years I've dreamed of writing my own Journal about life, decor, furniture revamps and more for all but especially for the every day person who doesn't have the elaborate budget for major renovations or designer decor. This is for those of you like me who love lifestyle magazines but want something a little more relative to your needs.

Have a read and send me your thoughts and let me know what you'd love to see in the future issues.

À bientôt....Michelle x

A beautifully designed digital lifestyle journal by Michelle Lisle. Styling, beauty, home curation and intentional living — all on a real budget.

Bonjour!

​Who says rolling pins belong hidden away in a drawer? 🪄✨

​There is something so satisfying about taking a simple, everyday wooden piece and transforming it into an old-world, French-country statement piece for the kitchen using a little bit of paint, transfers, and detail work.

​The best part? You can learn exactly how I do it.
​My decorative rolling pin masterclass is officially open! Held live over Zoom so you can join in from anywhere in Australia, this workshop will walk you through the entire step-by-step process. Whether you want to elevate your own home styling or add a unique, high-margin item to your creative lineup, I've got you covered.

​👉 Head to the link in my bio to secure your spot and start creating yours today!

À bientôt....Michelle x

Bonjour!

Well I've been a little quiet this week and that's because not only have I been working on the many, many layers of this new piece, I've also been in the kitchen cooking up a storm all week. This weather has me craving all kinds of comfort food from pot pies to chicken soup. Yum!

Now, back to the piece! I'm on the home stretch with 2 coats of lacquer done today and I'm sorting that sheen! Don't underestimate the power of the lacquer..... even I tend to forget about it at times as I love wax but there is something delicious about lacquer and how it brings out the colours. I'll reveal full colours and details tomorrow when she's looking all fancy and at her best.... also even the painters tape is finally gone yey 😆

So enjoy your Friday night, let me know your thoughts and I'll catch you later.

À bientôt....Michelle x
