Fancy Pants

I should probably just start a tumblr...

since I clearly am not wowing you with my words. I promise, I can actually string a group of words together to form an articulate sentence. In fact, back in the day, you know, during the ice age, I actually graduated summa cum laude from college, second in my class. There was even a stint in law school way back when dinosaurs walked the earth. Now, however, my lexicon consists of the typical mom jargon, as in; stop(!), NO(!), who did that(!) and my brain has effectively turned to mush. So enjoy the pretty pictures and fill in the blanks with your own captions. Unless you have mom brain, like me.

Happy Weekend, friends!

Bare Bones Lovely in Paris

Originally a haberdashery built in the 1800s, this beautiful structure residing on Paris's Left Bank is now home to a young married couple. They've chosen to let many of the original, quirky spaces remain intact instead of refashioning the building to suit a more modern lifestyle. I love the beautiful floors, volumes of space, and the charming vine covered exterior.

If I were in the market for a chateau...

...this one might just be at the top of my list.

How's that for drama!

My Heart is Beating Dangerously Fast.

What is it about this compelling home that has me weak in the knees, literally? Is it the location in the French countryside, the incredible dreamy photography, the blend of old and new.... Okay, so it's everything! This place truly amazes me, absolutely spellbinding.
