Le Boudoir

french_boudoir_01

Hi baby dolls! All this time sick has got me thinking about the simple pleasure of just being in bed. There is something so magical about plopping down in layers of down pillows and soft cotton. My dream little bed nook is adorned in pastel silk and satins, and faux fur blankies beneath a canopy complete with twinkle lights for my own private night sky. I’ve been looking at the Paris Apartment‘s Tumblr called Boudoir to find inspiration for the little bedroom I am constructing at my new apartment. I’ll share that with you all as soon as it’s ready but all the photos there had me feeling inspired to take these little photos and capture the soft magic of this ritual place we often never reflect upon in day to day life.

So much to do this week! Renovations began on my new Paris apartment. A little bit nerve wrecking tearing down the wall and putting up another. After that floors, kitchen, then the walk in closet! Yay…I am posting some not very pretty but none the less entertaining photos of the renovations on my Twitter so do follow me there and my Facebook fan page! And of course, we all know Bloglovin’ is the best way to follow your favorite blogs so if you like this one you should follow me there! Also in case you were wondering this pink feather vest is by Manoush. Bye for now cuties!
