Bring The Outdoors In With Mignonne

There's never been a better time to bring a little more life into your indoor space. A plant is significantly less commitment than a new pet, but it's still something to nurture and entertain you, albeit slowly. Thankfully, at Mignonne we have not only a wide array of plants, but we also have beautiful vessels to put them in, and books to teach you how to care for them! Make sure you check out our recent blog post all about how we keep our plants healthy. If you see something

Tips on easy plant care at home with Mignonne

We commonly hear from our patrons here at Mignonne that they don't have a green thumb, or they wish they could have plants but don't have the time to keep them alive. The truth is it's a lot easier than you think to care for houseplants and no one is born having a green thumb. All gardeners, including experts, have killed plants. It's all by trial and error. Now, I can say that I have a green thumb and you can too! I will discuss some simple tips that can help you become a be

Mignonne Is Taking You Along To Our Rug Shop!

Today's video round-up is all about rugs. We cannot get enough of our vast collection of rugs from around the world. A vintage rug really is the perfect addition to a modern space to make it feel lived in, unique, and warm. In an eclectic space it adds even more--either grounding the space more, or successfully furthering an already layered look. If you're not sure what your style is, mercifully rugs can help to easily define a room! Below you'll find a sampling of some of ou

Come Away On A (Virtual) Vacation With Mignonne!

We've been loving doing our little virtual getaways with you all lately! Last week we gave you a little inspiration for dining al fresco and we also went to the (virtual) flea market together! This week we're all feeling like we need a little vacation, so we're taking you on a virtual Mignonne vacation replete with a stunning curved tropical leaf-covered couch, some earrings fit for an escape, charming glassware fit for a warm-weathered local, and more goodies to make your ho

Mignonne Behind-The-Scenes: Scouting

Today we've got a little treat of Johnelle (owner and principal designer here at Mignonne) sharing some behind-the-scenes shop intel with all of us about how she scouts! Also, in case you missed it, we also shared a Behind-The-Scenes: Upholstery video a few weeks ago where Johnelle goes into all the details of what it's like to do an upholstery project with Mignonne. What other Behind-The-Scenes peeks would you like to see? Let us know on instagram so we can make sure we incl

Let's Go To The (Virtual) Flea Together!

If you’ve seen our latest instagram stories (visit our “At Home” highlight if you missed them!) we’ve been doing our best to break from the monotony and make it feel like we’re having some, albeit digital, escapes around here! Today we’re taking you to the virtual flea market. It may not be in a French castle (that's an actual thing that we've done!), but we’re pretty partial to these treasures nonetheless. Flea markets are one of our very favorite pastimes, and with goodies

A Little Al Fresco Dining Inspiration

Have you see our instagram stories today? If you missed them head to our “At Home” story highlight to play, or shop, along! We’re not sure about you, but we’ve needed a little change of scenery—today it’s in the form of our yards (or balconies!), by dining al fresco. Watch our video to see how we’re doing dining al fresco right! We also recommend typing “French Cooking Music” or “French Cafe” into Pandora or Spotify to add to a little virtual escape. We’d love to see you post

An Interview With Mignonne Owner Johnelle About COVID-19 And Small Business

We recently sat down (and by sat down, we mean at a safe, digital distance) with Johnelle to talk about what it's like owning a small business during COVID-19, and while sheltering-in-place. Read along to see why we miss her, all of you, and what you can do to support us and other small businesses during these unprecedented times. (This photo taken in the "before" times, although while we're wearing a select few sweatpants and likely grooming less than we should be, Johnelle
