As you enter our new shop you are greeted with an elegant design vignette that showcases our sofas, art, lamps draperies and carpets…
The paint is Ben Moore Silver Mink – its one of my new favorites!
Every time i walk into this room I feel surrounded by beauty. The details please the eye and create an atmosphere of comfort and warmth. I love the soft color scheme…it makes me want to curl up with a book amongst the pillows on the sofa.

Well, today was the day!
We opened Little Paris to the public – we still have a few kinks to work out but we decided to go ahead and softly greet the world!
Here’s a little virtual tour….its better to click on each picture to see everything – I didnt want to shrink them too much!
Have fun! Here’s the entrance foyer/staircase.
Going up the regal staircase…
Looking up the staircase into the French Country Estate Room.
The Paris Boudoir
Remember this Vanity that we purchased in June, I think…
This next series of pictures is from our Paris Apartment Room
We are calling this last room the French Country Estate Room…
as it just kinda took on its own easy going relaxed feeling.
Well, that’s it….I will finish up the details and have the Grand Opening in Early September!!

The bedroom portion of the Paris Apartment room is almost complete. I finished the window treatments last night.
The cornice box is made of cardboard and painted with a white texture paint. I love the light feeling of this room!
These pastel vases are so pretty!
I would love to put them on my vanity.

I just finished painting the “Paris Apartment” in our Little Paris shop…
it’s a beautiful shade of pink called Cotton Candy!
If you ever told me i’d be painting pink walls in any room of mine – I’d have laughed….
but yes people can change and adapt. I really love it.
Here’s some pink inspiration for you!

So now two rooms of Little Paris are on their way to completion….
Happy Father’s Day all.

I think the left side of my brain must look like this inside right now…it’s neatly organized into compartments - Everything looks lovely! But inside the right side…all my plans, ideas, the logistics of the actions required, the supplies etc are all stuffed to overflowing inside those neat little compartments…it must be a mess of chaos!
I am bursting at the seams with excitement about all the things that have to happen to get this new store open – the trick is to keep things on a neat schedule….i cant get ahead of myself. Chaos is good right?

Every design project starts with some kind of a floorplan. It’s like GPS – a guide to your final destination. I find drawing floorplans and elevations to be a relaxing and rewarding pastime and always enjoy the beginning of each new project.
You can draw your own with a few simple tools…a good tape measure (so you can measure your room and draw to scale), a couple of soft-leaded pencils, an eraser and some quarter inch block paper (each block equals 1 foot). Voila! You are ready to have some fun.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon drawing floorplans for the new shop. The one below is a combination floor/elevation plan. Convenient for seeing everything all in one place…sort of informal but succinct and to scale with a laundry list of items needed to complete the project.

If you like to paint its fun to paint these in the colors you will be using. Off to work now! The sun is out so it will be a busy day! Have fun.
