a girl’s flat in Paris

by Sharon Santoni
Now who would like to live in a sweet little duplex flat, with a view overlooking the grey zinc roofs of Paris?
Who would like to trail around the brocantes and flea markets, finding furniture and objects to furnish the new home?
Who would like to decorate that flat in soft pastel colours and make it into a comforting little nest?
Who would like to hear the rain patter down on the skylight window overhead, or see the sunshine streaming down the spiral staircase?
Who would like to sit on a Paris roof terrace, surrounded by pink pillows and share champagne with friends?
Loving this girly apartment, seen in this months edition of Art & Decoration … tell me, could  you see yourself here?

What a wonderful mix of vintage chippy items with new pieces. I like that they jumped off of the all-white band wagon and injected soft pastel colour. So lovely.

Uh-oh…. I am going to be in trouble with the rest of your followers here. Pastels have never been my thing. I LOVE the apartment however, it is fantastic! If I moved in the first thing I would have to do is paint.

Oh, yes! I definitely see myself there although I've reached the age not many would call me girl… I would enjoy spending there my time off, organising dinners for friends or simply spending some quality time alone reading a book, seating on the terrasse and making plans or just daydreaming…

Cute but I'd paint that blue and lavender. Don't much care for those colors.

If this is what normal lady flats look like in Paris, then I will definitely live there. Everything about Paris exudes elegance and sophistication, don't you think? Those skylights are perfect for the Parisian weather. You can enjoy and view every season with that spectacular window. I'm so amazed by this house!

I like the apartment with that great view and all that light pouring in but I'm not really into lots of different colours. I'd decide on what colours I like best and stick to it. I do like the tables and love the cushions on the terrace. I could see myself lounging on the terrace with friends sipping champagne.
