Happy New Year! I hope you had a relaxing, energizing holiday with family and friends and are feeling positive and excited about 2014.

Let’s kick off the new year with a glimpse of the wonderful world of Marion Nicolas and Marie Enes, the inspiring French duo behind TDM Création et Décoration. If you’re like me and love objects that are a little out of the ordinary, this gem of a boutique is sure to have something for you.

Elephant Coat Rack
available for $130 from TMD

Everyone who knows me knows I have a thing for vintage objects, not just for their visual or historical appeal but also for the future of our planet. Reuse-reduce-recycle! This eye-catching coat rack certainly ticks all my boxes. Crafted from an old protractor, it’s fun, imaginative, and one-of-a-kind—a perfect addition to a kid’s room!

Deer + Fawn Shadow Box
available for about $120 from TMD

Isn’t this adorable? Marion and Marie like to take their time making things. They scour France looking for interesting vintage items and materials to transform, then wait to be inspired. My daughter would love this unusual deer case decoration on a shelf in her bedroom.

Vintage Wardrobe with Paper Dresses
available for custom order from TDM

Again, quirky, creative, and fun! It’s easy to see why TDM’s designs appeal to young and old alike. This French doll’s wardrobe is charming and original. I love the styling with the paper dresses inside.

Vintage Doll Dress Wall Hanging
available for $171 from TDM

TDM has come up with an inspiring collection of wall decorations, including this doll’s dress fixed to an old wooden coat hanger. Take a look at the car design, the storks in the basket, and the aristocratic teddy bear too—all very ingenious and not things you’ll find on the high street! Love!

Door Sign for Girls
available for custom order from TDM

TDM’s website is in French but is easy to understand with the help of an online translation tool. Although most products are one-of-a-kind, the designers are happy to re-create past models, shown in their “sold” gallery. This retro girl’s door sign is one such example.

Take your time exploring this fledgling brand’s creations (you may even want to treat yourself to something in their current sale—they ship worldwide!). TDM has only been open for a few months but has started to attract people’s attention in France. I am looking forward to meeting the team at Little Fashion Week in Brussels at the end of February!
