How often do I see a place and think- OMG I must put this on my blog RIGHT NOW, even if another blog just posted it. Not that often.(Usually, I pin a photo or save it to my files!) But this apartment knocked my socks off!!!!!!!
I want to dive head first into this photo and never leave! That color palate is INSANELY beautiful! Remember what I said about wanted to see colors other than gray- SCRATCH THAT! This color palate is so soothing, sophisticated and the room has just the right amount of spark. Dont you love that gold is an accent color? YEA, ME TOO. (Cause thats kinda what I did in my place too…. not that it can compare…)
Of course, this place has to be in Paris.
Looky looky… A patterned wallpaper in a soothing color palate is actually not busy at all!
The antiqued mirrored dining room is divine. The only thing in this ENTIRE place that Im not loving is the dining table. It looks too small and even too modern for the apartment.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the link back – ya I pretty much died when I saw it in Harper’s Bazaar.
ok i am just going to play devils advocate…
it is indeed gorgeous…but…it’s almost too serene. too matchy matchy? not that it’s not done beautifully but i think you would get tired if it really quickly. maybe.
fuck. what do i know?
it’s pretty for sure..but seems slightly boring and too perfect. the kind of place my grandmother would have.
The Parisians can do no wrong — for reals. Hell, I’ll even take the dining room table — and the kitchen sink.
It’s lovely and moody and feels a bit like a place where an urban mermaid could swan about at leisure.
Oh, and that rug in the first shot is ballin’.

Thoughts? I think that color on the sofa in the 2nd pic is my new favorite color. Maybe.
And that coffee table is fantastic!
(One thing (or 2) I don’t like are the skirted little ottomans…)
Love the colors. Almost brings a certain warmth to the room.
much as i love french design and its counterpoints, this flat looks unloved, unlived in, sort of like the hotel suite nobody wants. the dining table isn’t big enough, and looks automotive. a tablebase in heavier metal, perhaps a brutalist piece(a crushed auto body?), would have made better visual sense.
At first I was shocked that you and Jenny didnt love this place… but I KIND OF see what you are saying. But do you think it could be the way it was arranged for the photo and the lighting? The rooms look dark the way they are and the furniture looks too spread out.
And yes, Agree wholeheartedly about the table.
most of it is a bit frosty–i would want a big sweater or a coat in there. too rational, too silvery. not sure flowers or accessories, or even a couple of apricot or chocolate labradoodles would make it inviting. i can’t see live plants being happy in those rooms, either.
That first pic is woah!!!! holy smokes! gorgeous. but i agree with you on the dining table, way too small !
