One of my favorite things about looking at interiors is the glimpse it offers into the lives of creative and fascinating people. Lately I've discovered Freunde von Freunden, a website devoted to creative people and the places where they live and work. There are many beautiful spaces on the site, but one of my favorites is the Paris home of designer Céline Saby.

Sometimes, it's important to look back on what once was and examine the ways things have changed over the years. Today's high-style interior design will be tomorrow's dead trend, and then, inevitably, vintage chic.

Name: Fabienne Séveillac & Kobe Van Cauwenberghe
Location: La Chapelle, Paris, France
Size: 600 square feet
Years lived in: 10 months (rented)

Thanks to their seventh story walk-up, Fabienne and Kobe are in excellent aerobic shape — a benefit for most, but especially for two musicians who often find themselves holding a sung note for inordinate lengths of time, or boldly scurrying around the neck of a guitar. Their top-floor flat has other advantages as well, not least among them, the extraordinary views.

Chateaus don't get much grander than Chateau D'Aubiry, a 32,300 square foot estate built on a marble slab in foothills of the Pyrenees. Finished in 1900, it's a perfect example of the opulent style of the Belle Époque. Another relic from the era before bathing was a daily practice, the home, listed for €21 million, has only one full bathroom and one powder room for all 13 bedrooms.
