entrée vous
i visited about 4 salons in my hood yesterday. when i wrote ‘the paris apartment’ I loved the over the topness of frenchy interiors. i’ve calmed down a bit but these mansions are making me love it again! this time tho, only one piece of furniture needs to be in the room. i love the doors and could do without the total gilded lily but you KNOW i’m a freak for pink chairs AND turquoise ceilings!
even when it’s simple it’s still hyper design!
view from other side
this is a little detail from the above room. i’m not into angels and cherubs but i thought she was cute. and so fresh at 300!
this is the world’s tiniest room and it’s still dressed to the nines…
and my fave, the chambers of the prince which i almost skipped! note to self, don’t blink!!
the colors are so gorgeous i almost can’t take it!

the fabric draping the bed that’s coming down from the crown canopy in the ceiling is my idea of luxury!

That turquoise ceiling, the pink upholstery, the canopied bed–it’s all too beautiful. Makes me really miss Paris . . .

Its so strange how everything old is new again and not in a horrid avacado green shag carpet kind of way. Love your blog! Take care
