En Francais

It all seems so effortless, doesn't it. That something French, that je ne sais quoi, that not quite definable, elusive, can't-quite-put-your-finger-on it quality. I don't think I'll solve the mystery in a blog post, but let me just note the key elements; the gorgeous herringbone floors(!), the original beams and fireplaces, the spectacular lighting, and the deft mix of modern furniture housed within this classical framework. Nothing short of ooh la la!
