Paris flash back








I have been dreaming of going back to France for a few weeks now.  I wish I was able to go for the Maison & Objet show, my dream really.  Maybe for the Fall show...  but I have been looking through my pictures and realized that there is a lot that I did not share with you.  These are just a few pictures that I took inside the Louvre, I was a little giddy in there (my shoes were killing my feet and I think I may have lost it for a little while).  I took photos of things that made me smile as you can see!  
Wishing you a wonderful weekend filled with things that make you smile!

grazie.. Paris



















I had almost forgotten about these pictures until tonight.  I am helping a new friend with a cafe that they are opening locally and searching for ideas when I remembered I had taken all of these photos on our trip last Spring.  This was an amazing little restaurant just steps from Merci.  The owner or manager (I am not sure which he was because he spoke very little English) said that it was designed by someone from New York and that many pieces were brought in, which was funny because I loved it for it's quirky industrial appeal and I am thinking how great the French are at being stylish without even trying, but they were trying.  Anyway, I thought I would share my pictures of it with you and recommend it too if you are going to Paris anytime soon..  Visit Merci and rest your shopping feet with a glass of wine and an appetizer or pizza.. super yummy!  

oh and don't forget to take a peek at their bathroom - it was super cool too!

grazie- Paris

Day Dreaming...



I am day dreaming of a sweet little apartment in the heart of Paris just like this one.  Instead of being here enjoying baguettes, cheese and wine, we are taking pictures for our upcoming One Kings Lane sale today.  It is amazing how much work goes into a sale.  Everyone at OKL is really great and a real joy to work with which is so nice to see in a growing company like theirs.

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with dreams like this little beauty.. I suppose we have to work hard to get to a place like this one, right?

Rocq Macarons {a giveaway}

 

I am super excited to share a sweet little bit of Parisian life right here in the states with you!  
The amazing chef Eddie Rocq has brought us hand made Macarons beautifully packaged, that can be delivered directly to your door, making them the perfect gift.  







Each of these little cookies is handmade to order and we can get them right here!  I was so excited to discover that I now can have one of my favorite things here at home.  Each box offers a variety of flavors and you can even select your own.  I am completely loving the chocolate and the pumpkin, the hubby and my little one are partial to the Vanilla, what can you do....   They will even be offering heart shaped macarons in specialty flavors for Valentine's and Mother's Day too, how perfect is that?!

A great little note on the history of the Macaron..

The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d’Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. It wasn’t’ until the 20th century when French pastry chefs decided to join two macaron shells together and fill them up with buttercream, jams and ganache, which is the version we recognize and love today.

Rocq Macaron's was sweet enough to offer a box of their Holiday Collection {This is our selections of 24 Amazing flavors in the "Parisian" Box set} to one of our readers!!!!

In addition to Macarons, Chef Eddie Rocq offers fantastic catering services which we love.

Grey stair risers


The wonderful things we can do with a little paint.  I love love these stairs!  I am not sure if the entire stair was once grey and has just worn away on the treads or not but is a very cool look.   This is also showing me how putting color on the details in a space instead of the walls can be a great way to go!

Don't miss your chance to enter our giveaway!

Chevron and Herringbone wood floors...



I have said it before and I will say it again.  I love the look of Chevron and  Herringbone wood flooring.. as I love the fact that the French find it to be equally important in their beautiful apartments!  The floor makes the simplicity of this space just absolute perfection.  

I have been daydreaming about wood flooring for our house for the past week or two.. keeping my fingers crossed that I can have some in before the holidays!

Thanks for the note...  on the flooring style... sometimes I am too quick with the typing!!!
