Anne in Paris

 

Anne in Paris has such a beautiful style in her flat. 

I like how Si (of French by Design) put it:  "This flat is happy, and it shows!"

spare, pretty rooms

I was very excited to find this home tour on a French blog then read that the tour is in Minnesota and is via design*sponge.  You may have seen this already but it's a beautiful home worth seeing again :)

These homeowners in Jakarta love color and organization. I'm going to take some of their ideas and run with them!

toronto: annie + michael's home

annie + michael have the loveliest home (isn't it fun to see how people personalize rentals?!).  It's difficult to pick a favorite room, but I will go with the child's room - - it's adorable!

PS: Annie has a blog if you're interested.  I love her post on "home" where she talks about why she likes to be at home, her fondness for pretty things,  and collects vintage items to fit into her decor at home. 

 

 

twin neighbors with similar apartments

Dinka and Zinka live in the U.K. in flats next door to each other.  Each has her own decorating style yet maintains a clean, polished look in decor. 

Have to say - the rooms with the red accents are my favorites!

Celine of Les Bulles de MiluDCCia has a home that wowed me with its artful simplicity + industrial chicness. What fun to be introduced to a new-to-me blog by Si (of French by Design) as she and Celine participated in a virtual house swap.

abigail + john's gorgeous home

So here's the thing.  I'm going to show you some photos of a beautiful house...but you've got to visit The Marion House Book for the detailed house tour by the homeowners, Abigail and John, and the remainder of the photos.  Emma (of the marion house book) is right...this is a house just like one you'd see in Living, etc (which happens to be my favorite magazine!).
