Oh, WOW. That kitchen and dining area are insanely beautiful. Drool.
love chairs!
OK - Who fed my desk lamp and left hand Miracle-Gro???
...and why is my bed in the shower?
Dam short-term rental people...
Love the kitchen and dining areas. The living room looks more like a waiting room, furniture placement is to blame there. Also, what is the deal with the chairs on top of the shelf?
Bahahaha @ bepsf
Love the hardwood floors. And while I love the "look" of occasional side tables in front of the sofa, I find them impractical for me. I've gotta be able to kick my feet up on a coffee table while sitting on a couch, and I encourage my guests to do the same.
@bepsf...
Does that mean that both of your hands are oversized because it's a right hands in the photo. :-)
I love all the rooms (except the bedroom) with the big windows and spacious feel. I'd decorate completely differently, but that's usually the case. I've had it up to here with that shade of blue.
The bedroom chandelier is scary (can't sleep...light fixture will eat me). That long picnic-style dining table is awesome.
"Does that mean that both of your hands are oversized..."
Would you look at that!
Dam - How'd that happen???
Now wonder the French are cracking down on short-term rentals...

Yes but... what happens when I stumble into the living room early on a Monday morning, mug of coffee in hand, bark my shin on one of those tiny tables, and send my java flying all over the pristine white couch?
Loved the place. I am not scared of the bedroom chandelier, that is a tiny one. I thought people were scared of the monsters under the bed, but hey you learn new every day. The mile long sofa will definately find my derrier even after wild Saturday night and bottle of wine. Remember to watch where you going so those tiny tables will not get you. And no feet on my tables, ever. Great place with a lot of personality and would not mind waiting what ever in that livingroom.
It is a rather awkward place, I think. It is quite piecemeal, designed to show an aesthetic focused on novelty rather than good design.
The bedroom does rather look aquatic, somewhat like a public bath with a bed in it.
you took the words right out of my mouth, dakini123... that huge desk lamp really puts it over the edge
... and each room looks like it's from a different home
those green chairs are amazing! have yah heard of that new colour, "grellow"?? hah... saw it in a cb2 catalog. that living room is sik.
