I love that "Kiss" print, too but Art by Taiche should probably mention that it's very closely based on this gorgeous Peter Behrens woodcut from 1898!

Love it - why not paint the ceiling, too, to complete the jewelbox feel!

Fascinating post! It's interesting that Crowley says that comfort came out of the Anglo-American tradition. I think a lot of cultural historians see that shift happening in 18th c. France. Interestingly, Western Europeans at that time saw things like comfy sofas and pillows as the province of the "Oriental" cultures, especially Turkish culture (where the word 'sofa' originated). A lot of aristocrats put lounging rooms or furniture in their homes and called them "à la turque." I'm not sure how culturally accurate this was, but it's interesting to see how comfort was seen as an exotic Eastern luxury fit for a pasha.

We so wish we could include our Canadian neighbors (and every other country, too!) but legal issues surrounding giveaways like these prevent us from offering prizes to residents outside the U.S. Thanks for understanding!

Obsessed with the Gainsborough Paint-by-numberses. Totally brilliant both in general and as a cluster with all the variations. I just had to take a deep breath and step away from the ebay, but I may have to start searching for my own. Congrats on a gorgeous entry.

How about the Marché aux puces at Clignancourt? And my two favorite museums in Paris/the world are the Musée Carnavalet and the Musée Nissim de Camondo. Small and manageable and totally gorgeous.

@ElaneB I offered to pay and I meant it, but she graciously refused. I hope she knew I was totally serious, though - it would have made me feel better to pay for it!
@nate f Ha - I totally agree about the fireplace. It's a rental, and that fireplace is just one of the many details that I would change if I could, I think it's pretty ugly. Also, it's not centered on the room, and has never worked (it's gas). But I still love my apartment!

Yes, YoNella, marla2 is right - I add just a handful or two (depending on the size of my batch) of raw quinoa and it adds a great crunch. You roast the whole mixture in the oven, so it ends up nicely toasted, and coated in the maple syrup mixture.
