A Paris retreat...

Located on one of my favourite Paris squares, Place des Vosges, is this beautiful feminine and romantic apartment. Once home to a famous mistress to nobility everything about this residence says 'you are in Paris'. This is an apartment I would escape to for the weekend....

Beautiful fabrics, wonderful textures, antiques and books fill the apartment giving each of the rooms the most wonderful character and detail.

The exquisite bedroom with its views over the blue slate rooftops of the square.

Looking down the hallway to the powder room...I love the contrast of the dark wall and the timber parquet floor.

I would invite you over for some afternoon tea and macaroons.

Just step outside to explore the fashionable galleries surrounding the square or just stop for a moment and enjoy the beauty of the gardens....Ax

Images I Love Today...

Image via Domino

I adore this image and pieces displayed in this entry, but I especially love the muted tones with the touch of colour in the yellow chair and the items displayed on the Gustavian style drawers. This images will provide some necessary inspiration to find some pieces to fill my currently void entry....

This image is from the August edition of Homes & Gardens and I love the simple white interior of this French home, the olive branches displayed on the understated console and the picture leaning against the wall & the white floors. Hope you are all having a great day!

Beautiful Courtyard

Today I am loving this courtyard image from the Owner of Sydney store 'French & Country'. I have always loved big clocks and like the way she has used in in the courtyard with the table - stunning!
