Bonjour from Paris! We have loved reading the comments and thank you for the fantastic suggestions. As we are not lifers (but we are on a nasty little budget) our apartment was decorated with the idea that sadly we can't take anything back with us furniture-wise (as I love the brocante just as much as the Parisians do!). And oui -- the couch is also our bed so we were really limited with pieces that have the dual function. However, we have had a blast decorating with items from all of our travels. A steerhead from Berlin, pictures from a botanical exhibit in Madrid, vintage porcelain and butterflies from Portugal, a goat skin from Bosnia, a gold horse from Slovenia (which has amazing design shops), a donkey print from an education museum in Prague, and the list goes on. We also figured the French touch comes from the fact that we can see the Eiffel Tower out of our front window. At night it outshines all colors and decor choices! :) We do blog (sort of) at www.thebenzesinparis.blogspot.com. Bon weekend and thanks again!
