Parisian apartment vs. my home..

My thoughts today took me back to the early fall of last year....my trip to Europe!  As I spent the day cleaning, my memory wondered back to the wonderful Parisain apartment buildings that I imagined were furnished with beautiful old treasures from generations past.  Lush rugs and heavy drapery.  Solid tables and dainty chairs.  Knick-Knacks carefully placed in arched built-ins.  Wine cellars lined with dusty bottles of Merlot.  I vacummed my imported rug that is mostly hidden by a large leather ottoman, I polished my black Normandy style dinning table and chairs, I dusted my Tiffany silver frames and re-organized my wine collection at the bottom of my pantry.  I was in my own little Paris...

I posted a few photo's from that trip....oh thank goodness for digital technology!  I was clicking my camera at every beautiful apartment building I saw!  So many photo's taken, yet I still wish I would have taken more!  Paris is filled with beautiful things.  It was there that I caught the little creative bug again!
