Maison et objet

I can't believe our trip is nearly over, but we have definitely had a very full trip that I can't wait to share with you in the upcoming weeks!
Today we visited the fabulous maison et objet trade show of products for buyers and press. It was so incredibly huge and we only saw a tiny portion of the offerings over hours! I'm sure a lot of the new items will be seen soon on the pages of our favorite magazines. Heather and I will be showcasing some of our favorite vendors soon (hopefully with a minimum of overlap, although our tastes Are surprisingly similar).
My favorite French store, flamant, was represented with a huge booth. Hopefully they cross the Atlantic very soon!

Fabulous Paris!!

Heather and I are having so much fun! One thing I love is that the French support their own. By that I mean everything you see is made in France: glasses, hardware, furniture, etc. A lesson we Americans could strive towards!! So much to share when we are back!! Au revoir!

Paris, here we come!

Heather and I are finally off for our big adventure in Paris! I never thought this day would come: it actually snuck up on me! I plan on blogging (text only) while in Paris and will share all sorts of pictures, sketches and details with you when we get back.
Be prepared to experience Paris both through the eyes of an Architect (me) and an Interior Designer (Heather).
Bon Voyage!

Saint-Germain

While in Paris (I can't believe we leave tomorrow!) Heather and I will be staying in the charming Saint-Germain neighborhood. This apartment in Saint Germain, by Yves Gastou, mixes the best of both worlds: an 18th century townhouse with the most glamourous 1940s&50s furniture.
