Europa



















What is it about the European way of life that makes it so quintessentially appealing?

Those pictures are so great that I actually felt pain looking at them.

hahaha....Alexis, I felt the same way!

nkp: You have a brilliant eye. You're killing me with all this goodness you're finding...

Not a lot of plastic stuff laying around. And if there is plastic stuff, it's by Philippe Starck.

Oh, and the French and Italian stuff is real French and Italian stuff - not junk from Ballard Designs and TJ Maxx.

Totally sublime. And Raina is right -- uncluttered.

Alexis and Mary, please ...no pain, this is a kid-proof/no sharp corners kinda blog, just enjoy! But I know what you mean, of course! (...and Mary, coming from you that is high praise indeed, your taste is stellar)

Raina...Heeheehee...

Oh Janne Peters. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...

Her work is one of my all time faves. That picture of the bright pink couch against the green foliage just slays me!

And I'd never thought about the 'european-ness' of her images, but you have hit the nail on the head. Thank you for this fresh perspective, nkp!
