at home in paris

Hello Lovelies and helloooo velvet Chester sofa!

I am leaving you for the weekend with a look at the Paris apartment of interior designer Sandra Benhamou.  The rooms are replete with an impressive collection of art and designer furniture pieces.

 

Above: Various art works sit perfectly on a floating shelf  against floor to ceiling subway tiles.  These reflect beautifully on the mirrored top table.

Below:  The patterned tile floor and subway tiles continue in the open eat-in kitchen which is full of natural light.

 

What I find most inspiring, is that the couple that lives in this apartment also has three children. Wait. Where are all the Legos??

 

I would be remiss not to add that, it was a surreal feeling to start the day thinking of Paris as a light, happy and beautiful setting for this home and, by the end of the same day, having a deep feeling of sadness for the same city. #prayforparis (and really, for the rest of the world as well)
