Am I unhappy about this, not really, I think maybe whilst saying it will never happen I may contemplate short periods of time when I could make it happen and nowhere would I more like to live than here.
This apartment is just wonderful and comes from the June issue of Elle Decoration, great magazine but a website so crap I wont even bother to link.
I love the old school wooden unit in this kitchen
the mix of glass and African sculpture is not dissimilar to my studio/office
I think that print is by Eduardo Chillida, I am a huge fan of his work, he is high on my list of 'would buy if I won the lottery' list. For someone who spends hours mixing colours to paint I am generally drawn to a monochrome palette.
All I would change is the addition of a big fat sofa to sit on, isn't it a lovely appartment though?
Excepting that it lacks a comfy place to coccoon -- the big fat sofa you would add -- I love it! And perhaps in Paris, we wouldn't want to be inside curled up anyway.
ReplyDeleteI used to think that we might do some months in Paris or elsewhere in France, even half a year or so, at some point post-retirement. Now, with my granddaughter, I'm less sure that I'd want to be away, but the dream's not quite gone yet . . .
Love the dream of a place in Paris and that particular apartment would be perfect, especially with a big sofa as you describe. It is not in my future either at the moment, but I love the dream. This particular introverted loner needs to dream of sanctuaries on occasion.
ReplyDeleteIt does need a comfy sofa to make it livable. That said, Parisians consider cafe's to be their living rooms.
ReplyDeleteAnd as remote as my Parisian dreams are of ever coming true, I just can't give up that sweet Parisian dream..
