Let's whisper about refinement.
Elegance too.
And classic French style.
Methinks Canadian designer Julie Charbonneau
of de Poitiers
has truly mastered the art of creating serenity
and timelessness.
Am I right or am I right?
Hold on right there.
I think I just became aware of another
first-world-decor-ache:
I don't have a fireplace in the master bath
to add dramatic ambiance and provide
more flattering lighting for youTubes
videotaped for my lifestyle blog.
a chic Montreal penthouse designed by Charbonneau
Charbonneau's own home, photographed for House and Home.
There's that friggin ache again.
Seriously. It's insanity to think things I think,
and it's not envy knockin'...just a fleshy
hedonistic inkling that if this wrought iron
staircase were in my life, many cares
would melt away.*
*I blame hormones.
Let's step away from my estrogenic and spiritual design crises
and drift instead into a Frenchy white trance:
All sorts of lovely to admire in this ethereal kitchen.
Have a favorite Charbonneau moment above?
Let's hear it, sunshine.
Peace to you right where you are.
