Paris apartment of designer I'wren Scott  Stunning.  If I were single, this is the feminine space I would want to live in.  dyingofcute This room would be more suited to the monied cross- section of France, like Kelly's patron in "An American In Paris."  This space actually reminds me more of the movie "Daddy Long Legs," with Leslie Caron and Fred Astaire, at the French school where Caron's character is first spied by the well-to-do Astaire.  The French are masters of the "imperfectly perfect" look.  This room has the quintesential French appeal of rustic plaster and sparse furnishings mixed with fine elements like the crystal chandelier and intricate woodwork.  |
