Pied a Terre

In my wildest dreams, I have have a permanent residence in LA or New York and a second home away from home (or Pied a Terre) in Paris…
This lofty ceiling-ed space with its beautiful herringbone wood floors and built in bookshelves would certainly do.  Until that fantasy becomes a reality, I’ll be wearing my version.  It’s original wood floors have a distressed patina that would only get better with age.  Translation – this rich brown suede moto jacket.  In a home as storied as this, it’s important to bring in contrast with modern sleeker pieces, the Saarinen table and chairs were made for this space.  A chunky heeled sandal with killer curved white straps are the wearable version.  And finally, keep the background light and airy allowing the eye to take in visual details like crown molding and arches.  This lightweight white dress with antiqued rosettes quietly brings the whole look together.  Keep dreaming.
