I traveled to Normany in September of last year for the first time, and this is exactly what I dream of owning and doing at sometime in my life. I really loved it there and it's so conveniently close to Paris!

Cute guy and nice apartment!

Surprised there isn't a more prominent photo of the Chinese green dresser.

Great post! A personal contribution "Paris When It Sizzles"

The movie is a little tough to get through, but the stunning apartment and views make up for it!

I think both look great!

I think it's a sweet studio, but I would infuse a bit more color into the bedroom. Maybe some additional pillows or shams with a pattern and a throw?

It's very hard for most people to break out of the beige/white habit when it's jammed down our throats by the main furniture/decorating outlets. It's even more difficult to get away from white walls in an apt. setting. Even if you can paint, is it really worth the aggravation if you're only going to stay in the apartment a year or so?

Looking good so far!

I just don't think any of it really works together. The paint color is awesome (same as my living room), but I really think it needs a crisp sofa up against it and the coffee table doesn't work either.

If you are going for a more traditional vibe (nothing too contemporary) that's my area of expertise. And I'm all about making the most of a $ and working with what you already have to make a home all of your own. Feel free to reach out to me at azierath@gmail.com!

What is going on with the execution of some of these crafty ideas? The white ribbon looks totally washed out against the white wall. Would look better if the ribbon was colorful or patterned and the cards were arranged.

I have created a small memory board in my kitchen with criss crossed grosgain ribbon that is an elegant way to feature my cards. If I have an overflow of cards, I drape a ribbon over the entryway and pin the cards to the ribbon.

I think the other reason that it looks really silly is because it's obvious that a door is behind the tv so you have all these shapes and functions that this curtain is supposed to be disguising.

I really like your room! Would love a bigger place so that I can do a "pink" room. Is your bed a double?
