paris apartment in Traditional Home

My cousin Sharon pointed out this beautiful Paris apartment featured in Traditional Home.  It is her friend Thuy, with whom she visited in Paris for Passover seder a few years ago.  The apartment itself is beautiful and much of the furnishings come front the Paris Flea Market. I love the Louis XV chairs with the updated upholstery. This home is a dream!!

Radiant Orchid

While I think this color lends itself more to fashion/bridal, etc. it is the Pantone color of the year.  See the attached   inspiration and photos from this year's International Housewares Show:

Ballet Slippers

Now a paint color made by Benjamin Moore! While a great choice for a girl's room or nursery…also is a pretty color choice for other room's as well:

*I should state I wish there was a molding contrast here, as well as the frame..this example is a little over the top!

and an awesome nail color….

"pick color"!

happy spring!

Spring is here!
