My name is Rani Engineer and welcome to my design & style blog La Maison Jolie! When I started La Maison Jolie (House Beautiful) in 2011, I didn't have a plan in mind. I just wanted a place to write about interior design and what inspired me. Interior styling has always been a passion of mine, ever since my grandfather bought me my first doll’s house and I stayed up all night sticking craft paper
onto the walls and rearranging all the tiny furniture. My style is constantly evolving and currently I’m focused on exploring designs involving urban living meets French farmhouse. I’m crazy about cushions, wooden crates, paint and love writing about them. I love recycling, reusing and refurbishing furniture. Taking something old and breathing new life into it while making it useful and unique is what I love the most. I like reviewing new design products and accessories, styling and photographing them and have been very fortunate to work with some well known brands. On the blog, I love sharing eclectic DIY design and craft projects and I’m constantly challenging my own design ideas. I sincerely hope that readers derive inspiration from what I do and what I write about... after all inspiration has no boundaries. Heartfelt thanks to those who are following me and to those who stop by to read my blog, you are all a big part of my creative journey! Feel free to drop me a line on [email protected] - I'd love to hear from you!
