Name: France Garnier
Location: Paris, France
When I first visited my apartment, it was all white — no floor in the bathroom and an ugly kitchen — but I immediately fell in love with it because I could see in my head what it would look like when I would be done with it. I had to make a big hole in a wall to have more light, to put some parquet floor in my bathroom, paint some tiling and stick it on my walls — and I all did it myself. So I'm pretty proud of my apartment now, and I would like to show it to you. I hope you'll like it the way I do. Enjoy the tour!
Thanks, France!

Cute! While its not 100% my style its a really nicely put together apartment. Bravo, on doing it yourself too btw.
Ooh la, la.
I love the bathroom especially. I have a similar light fixture (in table lamp form) in my guestroom and love the way a little unexpected "house jewlery" sparkles. I wish I could see more of the monkey outside the bedroom. There's a lot of whimsey in your home, making it personal and unique. Brava!
LOVE it!
Cute place...and well done up - it all goes together.
Well done!
I also love it!
How cute! It looks and feels like home; I could live there. Great job on putting it all together. Very comfortable and cozy.
Warm and magical
Charming and cozy! Bravo!
Super mignon. Bravo.
Great job on the walls. Papier de murs? Petit et vraiment joli, Merci, Thank you.
What a warm and inviting place. Well done.
Now THIS is sweet. A minus.
So pretty! Well done, France.
Charming! Thank you very much.
Very charming! You did a fantastic job.
So much atmosphere...Open the balcony doors and I can hear those Paris night sounds now...
This is adorable! You did a fantastic job!
Beautiful! You did a great job, i love it!
So lovely! I love the walls--did you paint the designs?
Unique and beautiful! I love your home.
hello ! thanks you for all your comments, i'm really moved. I did paint the walls by myself because I couldn't find what I wanted with wallpapers...
is there a name for the 2 drawer chest in blue in the second picture that has the tv on it? i would love to buy 2 for my bedroom and use as nightstands.
thanks.
Hey luckysquid, you might be able to find a similar chest at homegoods or another similar store. It won't be as special as the one in the picture however.
i like it very much!
I buy this from a store in France call "la maison de Judith". But I find an other version of it (in black) in another store. So I guess it's not an original one ! You could probably find one in the USA.
I love the chests!!! The whole apartment is so inviting and it really shows that its done by the owner by themselves..it shows so much affection!! :)
Its really cute!
Its always great to have a chandelier in the bathroom... it feels so fancy!

I believe that chest is called a "bombe chest" - they come in many different sizes, but their most recognized feature is the belly-outward curve.
Oh, I could just eat this up!
Wow! I absolutely love this apartment. It is so individualistic and so quaint!
Your place has that total French feel and look that never seems to be able to duplicate anywhere else....and God knows I've tried. I love it.
I think there is some indian influence in your style...
