i saw one of these in a store in brussels and then searched online for it for a while because i thought it was so adorable. then i saw the outrageous price! too expensive for me, although it does ...

griffin, the marie claire piece isn't just about unusable fireplaces but fireplaces in general (although it does say that certain techniques shouldn't be used on working fireplaces).

Great!

Thanks, Kristin! I'd never heard of this store, but I rarely make it over to the left bank. I also like "c'est ma chambre" on rue des archives.

Wonderful!

Very cute!

I don't think people should be allowed to do this to prevent people from parking in front of their house--the street is PUBLIC and the spot in front of the house isn't anyone's personal property. ...

I like it!

Very nice views. Why not give a little background as to location (I'm assuming boulevard de la bastille in the 12th)?

I have a ventless dryer that works fabulously--so much better than having an apartment full of hanging clothes. It's the washer/dryer machine in one that doesn't work at all.

I agree with baltimorerowhouse. They're certainly popular here in France but I don't really see the use. We had one in our bathroom and actually never turned it on. I don't really care if my tow...

i don't think it's a paris thing. i always assumed the reason it was pink was that it was cheaper than making the toilet paper bright white (as the french are generally very cheap!). y...

Very nice. Especially when you've only been living in the place for seven months!

we had a lot of stuff--but i think all you really need is: - a safe sleeping area--somewhere you will feel comfortable leaving the baby for naps. - a baby carrier. - car seat (if ...

I agree about the antilop from Ikea--easy to clean, no tipping and very cheap. We used for about a year and it seems to have stayed in very good condition.

This house is beautiful. I think the Togo sofa looks good here, but I've never really understood the pull of this sofa. I've sat in them in the ligne roset store and don't find them that comforta...

we have a similar situation in our apartment (radiators directly in front of windows) and used the panel sheers from ikea that you can hang from the ceiling and also slide out of the way if you want.

I also wanted to avoid the potty but found my daughter is terrified of the regular toilet.

I really like this and love that it was a childhood home. I know I dream about buying my childhood home!

I agree with gertie. I don't even think you need the latches: you just make sure there's nothing baby shouldn't touch on low shelves/cabinets in low drawers.
