Lovely Liaigre

I first became acquainted with the work of Christian Liaigre a few years back.  A certain designer loved to use his furniture in his projects.  It never really had the same effect since the interiors were also modern.  I've said it before and I'll say it again but contemporary furniture looks best to me in the elaborate boiseried apartments of Europe.  Christian Liaigre furniture therefore looks really amazing in the designer's own Paris apartment that was just featured in the Wall Street Journal Magazine.  Christian Liaigre has also opened a new showroom in New York at 34 East 61st Street and I can't wait to stop by as soon as the weather cools off.

Revisiting Versailles

All the talk about the Chanel Resort 2013 show at Versailles had me thinking back to my last visit to the palace. While I posted photos of Le Petit Trianon and the grounds, I never posted any photos from the interior of Versailles itself.  These images are from The King's Interior Apartments and The Royal Chapel that you see on the guided tour.  They definitely make me want to make another trip now that I have my better camera. Perhaps I should adopt the attitude, "après moi, le déluge" and just go.
