Did any of you watch Rachel Zoe Project last night?  I forgot it was on until my friend Marie texted me- "I hope you are watching Rachel Zoe- she's in Chanel's apartment!!!!" I almost fell off the couch and killed myself when I changed the channel and saw Rachel touring the queen of couture's apartment on the famous Rue Cambon! When I was in Paris I did manage to get the guts up to go into the Chanel boutique in this location (very intimidating, especially when you are wearing jeans and look like a red-eye-flying hot mess) but did not realize THIS was right above.

While my decorating tastes veer far from this kind of ornate luxury, there is a little part of me that loves it and wishes I could lounge on that deep velvet sofa surrounded by gold and crystal and laqcuered chinoiserie panels and dream up my next collection.... don't you agree?

Empire era for kids.

Bamboo bed.

I did love the pair of ceramic dogs though- I just don't need another pair of ceramic ANYTHING!

Jadeite collection:

These industrial bins would look great in a bookshelf or in a kitchen as storage:

A lovely mirror made from old tin ceilings and a bunch of old glass medical cabinets

Grouping of old silverware- these were lovely and having a mismatched set would be so fabulous paired with some sleek, simple china:


This big pig painting would look great above a sofa in a country house;

I adored this twin headboard's unique design, as well as this gorgeous lantern with colver shaped ring accent:
