Ooh la la! Le Grenier Antiques

011808_legrenier.jpg

One of the drawbacks to working with a group of trendy Parisians is that they always seem to find the best deals on some amazing antiques. But the upside? Inspiration AND resources! After my Paris-based co-worker sent me photos of another one of his great finds (a 19th century hair salon chair in perfect condition--and he plans on using it as a task chair), I finally got ONE resource out of him to share: VoilĂ , Le Grenier!

This shop is chock full of beautiful items from gorgeous weather-worn doors salvaged from a restaurant to inspiring statues that look wonderful in a garden. And while we can find equally great vintage pieces in our own salvage yards and estate sales, it's inspiring to see some authentic French antiques--and how some of these pieces are reinterpreted today.

For those who can't afford actual antiques, you may check what Comptoir de Famille sells.

If I could get me that big-ass Eiffel Tower, I could die a happy man.
