France once again...

It is official... I am getting ready for another trip to Paris in a few weeks and we are bringing back our first container. I am a little nervous I will admit but excited at the same time. We will stay in Paris and shop the flea markets there for the first week mixed with much site seeing and relaxing around the city, then it is off to Normandy to shop with Sharon from My French Country Home. I am so excited to see her again and experience a bit more of her amazing everyday life!

These are just a few of the photos that we snapped on our last trip, some you may have seen and some are new. I was just going through them and thought I would share some of my current favorites with you. I have a few more posts lined up from our last adventure to share before we leave too!

Design Traveler: Travel inspiration

While searching for a little inspiration I came across some older travel photos. I have shared some of this trip previously but I don't think these particular photos have made it on the blog. When I travel I have a tendency to spend A LOT of my time taking photos. This trip was great because I was with a friend who was just as interested in photographing EVERYTHING and I was driving so I could stop anytime I pleased for a photo opp!

I love these old buildings and structures as I am sure that many others do to considering we are consistently taking clues from them when we plan our own homes and gardens.

My favorite part is that even the weeds look good just because they are here! We are working on selecting stone for our patio and I keep consulting photos of these beautiful spaces to inspire me, I just have to figure out how to make it look beautifully aged.

garden, gardens, greenery, stone walls

garden dreams..

I have been day dreaming about a well kept garden for the past week. We have begun our latest project here and all of the trees are gone and a giant hole is dug in the back. We will be adding new and planting what seems like a uncountable number of shrubs and flowers eventually but for now I am so sad to miss the joy of a beautiful Spring... This mature space seems so tranquil!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the coming of Spring!

The Great Gatsby set design

I have been waiting and waiting for the current remake of The Great Gatsby to hit the screens and I am so excited that we will be seeing it soon. I am excited to see all of the amazing sets and locations as I am sure they are going to be beautiful. I was scouring the net for photos of the interiors and the buildings without much luck so I had to resort to the trailer.

They are beyond imagination and this is just a peek.

The round pool with JG in the center is perfection.

The color combinations are something I feel like we never see, when we watch the older black and white movies, it will be good to see what we have been missing. Her clothing below is so chic.

Gatsby's closet and bedroom have a wonderful Art Deco feel to them in comparison to the other spaces which are a more traditional in his home. I love the quilted walls and the metal railings.
