bon voyage à moi!

hi everyone! thank you for another wonderful week of blogging. can you believe it's the weekend already? this weekend is particularly special because my mom and sister are flying to europe for one last eurotrip before i head stateside on the first of june.
i'll be passing the time until their arrival by soaking up the last of paris in the springtime...
eating some seasonal fare...
taking some pictures to remember my time here...
and catching some zzz's before the real fun starts.
wish me bon voyage, my dears!

p.s. if you have any travel recommendations — restaurants, sights, museums — for prague, munich, salzburg, vienna, or istanbul, i'm all ears! have a delightful weekend, loves!

amazing architecture

today i'm admiring the striking architectural detail in the following homes. it seems i'm daydreaming of geometry, symmetry, floor-to-ceiling windows, intricate mouldings, arched doorways...
this space is, to me, a rare example of dark trim done right. i'm typically a fan of white mouldings but here the rich color accentuates the bold detail surrounding the doorway, mimicked by the silhouette of the chair and the outline of the rug.
a curved desk tucked into a bay window — what could be better than that? truthfully i could do without the rest of the dreary furnishings...
who hasn't imagined living the loft life? the high ceilings are spectacular and the archways on either side of the loft create delightful symmetry between the windows/doors on the left and the open space on the right.

this sunroom, however, is today's pièce de résistance. french doors, glass walls, open windows... architecture truly is an art form.
