Perfectly Imperfect Parisian Apartment

As we move into the new year, many of us will be working on organizing our lives and our homes.  I know this because I spent most of Sunday cleaning out my closet and organizing my files.  Why does the interior design industry have to use so much paper?!  While I want everything to be neat and orderly, I realize that there is often beauty in that which is imperfect.  There is something about this Paris apartment that is slightly off but looks so perfect to me.  It also clearly illustrates the difference between American and French decorating styles.  The French don't seem to sweat the small stuff and I will try to remember this in 2011.

Frederic's French Flat

I really wanted to post some of my photos from Versailles today but my computer had other ideas.  Now I have to run to a meeting at a magazine so I'm leaving you with these photos from French designer Frederic Mechiche's flat in the Marais area of Paris.  I will try to add some details when I get home later but I think you will see that a picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to this amazing home.  I think it's now one of my all time favorites.  A tout à l'heure!
