Paris Patina...

Even with a lot of wear and tear this Parisian apartment makes my heart skip a beat. How do they do it? It is so perfectly imperfect. The floors are amazing along with all of the moulding details. I am not sure how much I would want to change if I lived there. What about you - would you feel the need to fix this beauty up or keep it just so?

Design Inspiration right now...

So I am curious... where do you find your design inspiration? I am hearing whispers that the blogs are taking a backseat to Pinterest ... What do you think?

You know I love me some Pinterest around here but really I find that photos that are arranged in a post with some text are equally inspiring and it is always nice to see some new photos that seem to come only from blogs and other sites.. and the interaction is so much fun!

Just checking - which way are you going?
