More Paris Window Gazing
Last week I was walking along rue de la Légion d'Honneur where there are dozens of antique shops and found some breathtaking sights behind their storefront windows, such as this re-created (17th century?) room, above. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to French (or any other) antiquities so I don't have the details to accompany these photos (other than what's obvious). Still, informed or not, I found myself envying those who have the obscene amount of money it takes to acquire and live amongst such beautiful and soul-enriching things. Jerks.
thank you for sharing these glimpses-they dont need to much description do they? as interior designer it is a pleasure to toy with such-but I have learned that many times ownership has its price. love the russian fashions too- another precious glimpse.g

You're very welcome! I agree, the pictures really do speak for themselves. I find myself looking at them over and over again and falling into daydreams. And the sheer luxuriousness of the shops themselves - some don't look like shops inside but rather some grand palace, it's really incredible! x
