MY FAVOURITE DECOR SHOPS IN OTTAWA

A simple French apartment that may be small in size but big in style. Ideas to steal? The whitewashed old door track mounted to save space, the red cords on the island lights and a bookcase that makes a statement in an otherwise calm space. By interior designer Muriel Cibot. Très bon.
Yesterday Jo took you to Mykonos. Today I'll be taking you to Paris, specifically to the Hôtel du Panthéon. It has recently been completely renovated and is now absolutely stunning, due in part to the fabulous decor by interior designer Valérie Manoïl. It's modernized, bold (the wallpaper selections!!) yet classy and I would absolutely love to stay here. (Photos by Jerome d'Almeida)
P.S. I worked on a little desk facelift project yesterday if you want to check it out over on my page.
This post isn't so much about the interior design (because there isn't really any, besides some lovely chair porn happening in the main living space) but rather the architecture. And CUT architectures got it so very right. It's a 6th floor Parisian apartment that was renovated into a bright, modern space while maintaining the extraordinary details of the original space but get this...the random hexagonal tile section in the living room was formerly where the bathroom was. How cool that they kept that section of flooring there.
More confection from French firm Camille Hermande Architectures. I can almost taste the citron on my tongue. Followed by a meringue. So sweet!
A sweet little piece of Parisian architectural candy. Ornate touches to the ceilings, old wooden floors and scrolly iron work on the balcony. Beautiful bones juxtaposed with midcentury and modern. Then bam! Colourful riot on the wall. A little pastille of perfection by Camille Hermande Architectures.
