Double-height Parisiene loungecredit

This chic double-height lounge in Paris is bathed in light thanks to the unusual, dormer-type windows and brilliant white painted walls.

The profusion of plants (including the patterned wallpaper) softens the industrial interior, adding to the homely feel. Vertical space is used to full effect with the suspended cane chair and array of hanging pots. They draw the eyes upwards. A circular jute rug quietens and breaks up the expanse of wooden floorboards.

  1. Macramé plant holders
  2. Jarawa sépia wallpaper
  3. Natural rattan hanging chair
  4. Pedestal plant stand
  5. 2-piece nest of tables
  6. Hand-woven round jute rug

Vintage Parisienne and Paris Café pattern side plates | H is for Home

We bought these two lovely vintage Paris side plates this week – what classic 1950s designs!

Vintage Rigeway Parisienne side plate | H is for Home Vintage Alfred Meakin Paris Café side plate | H is for Home

They’re quite similar, both featuring French café scenes, but were produced by different makers – namely Ridgway and Alfred Meakin.

#Paris Etsy List curated by H is for Home

On Friday night, and all of Saturday, we were glued to the news websites and social media – what a dreadful chain of events.

Despite the horrendous attacks, the people of Paris want to defy terrorism, to continue with life, to celebrate this wonderful city.

Our Etsy selection intends to celebrate this undaunted spirit.

Sometimes magazines from this date have very enticing covers, but can be a little drab inside… not these!

They really conjure up images of a spring weekend in Paris or sunny holiday on the Côte d’Azur… very ironic as we bought them on a cold, wet Thursday morning in Todmorden!
