Suzanne Flenard has a discerning eye for design. When she couldn't find the perfect pillows to go with her modern décor, she launched her own label, Square Modern. Now pops of turquoise and tangerine offer jazzy, mid-century touches to her clean, serene space in one of Paris' oldest districts.

This St. Honoré apartment by double g has much to recommend it. First, it's in Paris. (And let's be honest, does there really need to be a "second," given that?) Second, (in case Paris isn't actually enough for you), it's got fantastic light. Third, (yes, there's more), its design strikes just the right balance between lots of white and vibrant, luscious color. All of this on its own would be enough to make many a decorista swoon, yet this gorgeous design doesn't stop there... More

Name: Julie Arrue, Elli, her 3-year-old daughter, and Celeste the cat.
Location: Canal Saint Martin, Paris, France
Size: 525 square feet, 2 bedrooms
Years lived in:1.5, rented

Look how the light falls from the gray Paris sky onto Julie's beautiful spring table. If Vermeer was around today I'm sure the Dutch master would set up his easel and start painting. High above the quiet courtyard of a Haussmann building on the Canal Saint Martin, Julie, a French filmmaker, has created a home full of beautiful scenes.

Like deep dish pizza, prop comics, and nude beaches, there seems to be no gray area when it comes to shipping container homes: some people truly love them while others despise them. Maybe it's the setting or the cherry red exterior, but I find this one compellingly livable. What do you think? Is this home a compelling example of adaptive reuse? Or is it the Carrot Top of sustainable architecture? More

Paris versus New York may not be a tough decision for most New Yorkers I know; they're pretty loyal to their roots. In fact, Parisians are also notoriously proud of their beautiful city...

The fluid colors in the Francis wall mirror by French design company Petite Friture (or Small Fry in English) are created using water color techniques on the unique surface that the mirror provides. The colors on the Francis mirror are a unique take on the look of aged mirrors that is so popular at the moment.

Clean graphics paired with bold typography and French phrases add a worldly touch to what could pass as vintage prints. Can't you just picture the Do Re Mi print hanging in a 1950s high school music room?

We got a first look at Alon & Betsy's Beautiful Normandy Home last month and now we're back to see the rest of this stunning home. Alon and Betsy have a clean and classic style and, in renovating this classic French home, they brought that perspective to the space.

This is an amazing renovation project I stumbled across on the Slow Home Studio website. A stable turned garage turned single residency home in the historic district of Bordeaux, France... and then it gets really cool.

Name: Ida
Location: Paris, France

I'm Swedish, and moved to Paris six years ago. I have a job that I love in interior design, which is great, but frustrating sometimes when you're constantly surrounded by beautiful things and apartments you can't afford in real life. When you're a young couple in Paris, you can see a lot of bad places, before you finally get somewhere you can call home. More
