Bringing Life & Light to Your Home – One Creative Project at a Time with Leslie in Castelnaudary

✨ Welcome to Leslie in Castelnaudary

In Episode 15, I’m inviting you into my French home to see how I’ve transformed it with creativity, intention, and a bit of elbow grease. From a dark and outdated upstairs landing to a cheerful, soul-filled guest room, I’ve used small touches and sustainable style to completely shift the energy of my space.

🏡 From Crusty Ceilings to Chic Corners

Let me tell you—my upstairs landing was a mess when we moved in. Cracked ceilings, a dusty mauve texture I didn’t love, and these weird vinyl planks glued over another set of floors. So, I got to work. We painted everything white to match the downstairs, added new baseboards, fixed the ceiling, and threw in some bold lighting and colorful art. The whole area now feels like a modern-meets-classic bridge between rooms, and I absolutely love the vibe.

🌿 A Jungle-Inspired Water Closet Transformation

I’ve always loved nature and a little glam, and I had this old roll of jungle-themed wallpaper I bought years ago with no idea why. When I saw the small toilet room in our new home, I knew it was the perfect place to use it. I added upgraded lighting, new floors, a custom bidet toilet (yes, it was worth the wait), and brought in some plant life. This tiny room is now a lush, bold retreat—and proof that even the smallest spaces deserve big design energy.

🎨 Mindfulness Through Making in My Creative Workshop

I created a craft room not just for my kids, but for me too. It’s where we paint, build Legos, bead, sew, and just create. I especially love paint-by-numbers—it’s simple but meditative. As I work with my hands, my thoughts settle. I process emotions, clear my mind, and sometimes, even solve problems. You don’t have to be a traditional artist to benefit from creative time—just let yourself play.

🌱 Feng Shui for Guests: My Easy Upcycled Water Plant DIY

Guest rooms can often feel forgotten, but I wanted ours to feel alive. So, I made a little project using a vase from a birthday bouquet, some styrofoam, and paos cuttings. It’s a low-maintenance water plant that brings a beautiful, living energy into the space—without the need to water it every day.

🛠 DIY Highlights:

✂️ I used a styrofoam lid to slow water evaporation
🌿 Paos (or spider plants) root easily and thrive in indirect light
💧 A clear vase helps me see when to refill the water
🌞 It’s perfect near our new skylight—sunny and happy!

🧳 Guest Room Travel Storytelling

Our guest room is full of memories. I decorated it with magnets, postcards, art, and souvenirs from all over the world—places that hold meaning for me. I want our guests to feel welcomed and inspired, like they’ve stepped into a cozy, global retreat where they can rest and dream of their next adventure.
