Speaking of Paris

Thank you so much for all the kind words about my New year's post and Paris apartment rental suggestions. I'm even more excited to get starting planning my extended stay now. And speaking of Paris, I found some new photos of Diane von Furstenberg's Saint Germain apartment.  I posted some images from House & Garden magazine shortly after I started my blog in 2007 and it still looks great today. My next goal might be to buy an apartment in Paris so I can pop over every time I need my French fix. 

Happy New Year!

Blue Monday

I had an amazing time in Paris but it was much too short so I am already planning another trip this fall. I can't wait to spend more time exploring new parts of my favorite city.  The highlight of this trip was finding the twice a year brocante around the rue de Bretagna in the Marais.  I have lots of pictures to post soon but until then, I'm posting a few photos from the old apartment of Jacques Dehornois who I imagine also spent many a day shopping the brocantes and puces of Paris. I don't know much about it except that it was photographed by Francois Halard and featured years ago in House & Garden.  Speaking of Francois Halard, he has a wonderful feature in the latest Apartmento magazine which I was alerted to by Wayne Pate who was also in Paris this weekend.  Definitely pick it up.
