Come on in.......... 02/06/2010
I finally don't feel embarrassed to give you a peak into our little french beauty. We had our boat shipment delivered on Thursday and after I unpacked at warp speed to get rid of our boxes, organize and my personal favorite; re-arrange. I have a glimpse of our sweet girl for you. She is so dreamy and I haven't even shopped the flea markets or flower shops for her jewelry and make-up. It's all about accessorizing, isn't it?! So come on in, have a look around.............   Climb up the five flights of stairs (or take the teeny elevator) to our front door. Notice the sunlight trying to escape into the hallway.  Her bright and warm yellow walls greet us everytime we enter with a smile, even on a cloudy and grey day.  Her windows are flung open acting as her arms to embrace us. Do you hear the churchbells, the birds, the children playing in the Catholic school? What about the motorcycles zipping by?   These pictures are a bit overexposed, but you get the idea. We have our dinners at the dining room table every night. Breakfast and afternoon snacks are in the kitchen which I will post when the kitchen is presentable. Sorry Mom, but it is coming. I will let you soak in her beauty. This is no crush for me but a full fledged love affair with our girl!

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:44:18 I like how the stairs are carpeted and the chandelier. Did that come with the apartment, or did you have to install it yourself. Also like the detail work on the balcony, but can't tell it is a plant or iron work. How lucky you are to have such a nice apartment! Susanna Cunningham Sat, 06 Feb 2010 14:40:31 I am having such fun reading your blog and keeping up with you. I LOVE your place, just perfect.... I almost feel like I am there with you! Ana Shimitras Sat, 06 Feb 2010 15:37:17 Oh Gina you were so right it is beautiful. So European small but quaint. I love everything about it. Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:32:38 Why don't I ever see something this lovely on House Hunters International? I love the detail on the panels at the bottom of the yellow walls. Love the yellow walls. It looks modern and comfortable and so much brighter than I had imagined. Aprile Sat, 06 Feb 2010 18:29:47 Wow, sounds like your settling in. Your apartment is dreamy! I love all the sunlight, and yes, I could hear the bells, birds and children. You write so beautifully, I almost felt like I was there. Thanks again for sharing your life with us! aunt sally Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:17:43 hey sweetie, haven't kept up cuz of work and have so enjoyed hearing about your first week in gay paree!! it all seems dizzying to me with all you guys have had to do and the kids starting their new school - but it wasn't until i read this segment that it really hit me - it's really real and they are going to have an adventure of a life time. mostly though, it was looking at the pics of your glorious flat and how you have already made it the safe and comforting place that a true home should be. on good days and bad it's knowing that you have that safe haven that keeps your heart smiling. i could go on and on but i'll stop with how much i'm looking forward to more tales of max's speedos, sophie's blossoming knowledge of her soon to be second language, dan's work journey and you sweet gina, finishing up your kitchen and discovering what's waiting around the corner. xox Aunt Rita Sat, 06 Feb 2010 21:45:43
Melanie Sun, 07 Feb 2010 13:18:48 Gina, your Paris home is beautiful! I love it! Shelly Mon, 08 Feb 2010 04:05:58 Thanks for sharing your pictures. So quaint and welcoming. I sometimes miss the condo/apt life. It gives you time to enjoy the other things in life and not have to tend to the house. Enjoy the simple lifestyle as you mentioned awhile back. Hugs and Kisses to you all, Leave a Reply |  AuthorGina Johnson  ArchivesMarch 2010 CategoriesAll |
