apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

OMG beautiful! Love those stain glass doors, cries. If I had to pick a style to live in and be forever happy with this would be it.

Hah. Very lovely interiors... but the baguette photo reminds me of a few Salvador Dali paintings of random baguettes.
I am jealous that almost everything is covered in trim and moulding.


Does anyone know where that popular white light comes from in the fourth picture?

Are those real flowers on top on the fire place mantel? If so, what kind are they? They're beautiful.

Shlacking: I don't know their official name, but I think they are commonly marketed as shamrocks around St. Patrick's Day.

It's so damp here the Brooklyn Bridge is sprouting moss.

Thanks for the trip to French Fantasy Land

Love those herringbone floors!

They can also called oxalis.

This is so cool it depresses me

Just beautiful.
What is that funny little oven though?

Marvelous place.

The 'flowers' are a plant called the Purple Shamrock (Oxalis Triangularis). You see them sold in grocery stores and florist shops around St. Patrick's Day. I have one and the leaves are a beautiful dark wine color. They'll also send forth pale lavender-colored trumpet-shaped flowers. It's pretty easy to care for them, as long as they get enough sunlight.

Unbelievably gorg.

Simply beautiful. Sigh of envy. Does anyone know who makes those sofas?

A lot of great features and cool layout but too much white for me.

that was just cruel...

I love every picture in this post. It has everything I dream about: crown molding, French doors, hardwood floors, the mirrored fireplace mantle, old radiator (with oven?!), white paneled ceilings and doors and walls, the list goes on and on ...

White is always so beautiful and clean looking.

I would like to have more, s'il vous plait; complete with scrumptious baguette.

can anyone identify the couches in the living room? soo pretty!

It probably is the expensive le Klint lamp that LoriSF gave the link too. I got a cheap knock-off of of Ebay though... for about one tenth of the price. That was in europe though but u might try on american ebay... there were many of them on ebay when i bought mine...

Uhm, though I am more wee studio / fifth floor walk-up in The Marais kind of dreamer ... but daaaayyyyum.

It's those doors, the stained glass- the adorable place to burn things- and the light! My God, what light that place gets. I now join the rest and cry and dream.

(pssst: Anyone in Paris, please feel free to adopt this sad American orphan! My job, I can do it from anywhere in the world! I would buy you treats every day!)

i am moving soon into a place with dark wood floors and a wee bit of millwork, and this is tempting me to paint everything white white white. this is so lovely...le sigh.
