Ficuses are very temperamental and fickle. They have to be in just the right light with just the right amount of water, or the leaves drop like crazy.

I'm on the prowl for nice hanging containers (that preferably have a watering plate attached). Can anyone recommend a source?

Great post! The art reminds me prints that I would find in my Grandma's home (that I love). I don't think that the space is overly functional or practical, but I think that every home needs a small niche of space that isn't completely functional and that is just purely dreamy to look at!

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!

Nice post! Once I spent an entire day taking photos of doors in Paris.

Cute guy and nice apartment!

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

I met Shannon a few months ago, and she's got a great sense of style and a very inspirational story!

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 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!

Not to brag, but my living room already has little touches of British royalty built incorporated into the decor. I'm not really seeing anything mentioned that I would want to buy.

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.

I spent a few weeks in France last month, and I took several pictures of bistro chairs. Or I took a picture of every bistro set that I fell in love with so there must have been at least 25. ;-). I managed to track down a set for $400 + $100 in shipping from a Florida dealer last year who I convinced to sell me a set. They are beyond charming and I would love to upload a picture to the post. I get loads of compliments on them!

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!

I hate to say it, but Macy's has the same sofa for $700. I spent a long time comparing the 2, and they are virtually identical.

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.
