Tour My Paris Apartment - Perfect for a Single Like Me!

Come tour my Paris apartment with me and see how I live as a solo! It's your chance to experience the authentic Parisian lifestyle up close, inspiring ideas for your own living space. Plus, it offers a sense of adventure and a taste of the city's romantic charm. Ultimately, it's an opportunity to explore, get inspired, and feel the magic of Paris.
We explore how I put my personal stamp on the apartment, where I got my furnishings, and how my home in Paris is different from my home in Boston. I never imagined this could be my life. But I am so glad that this is the next chapter I crafted for myself.
I hope you will tune in and leave a comment on the video with your favorite thing about my Paris apartment.

    Beautifully done! I can't tell you how thirsty I've been to see a home tour that wasn't done by a 20-something or someone with millions of dollars. I'm envious of your ability to source such gorgeous vintage and antique items so easily. And the use of the Hermès scarf was genius. I'm not ready to move yet -- mostly due to elderly pets -- but this was inspiring for when I am able to go. France is on my shortlist.

    thank you!! Yes, France (and maybe all of Europe) has beautiful furniture and accessories for very affordable prices- less than IKEA! When you are ready, check out estate sales or auctions in your area. I've bought some very pretty pieces for super cheap in the Boston area, the biggest cost is usually hiring a mover.

    @@extraordinarywomennextchapter Funny, I'm originally from the Boston area, and have a few small things from there that were in my parents' house on the Cape. I had a forced downsizing during the Recession, but I kept a few nice pieces from the Midwest. And since then, I've picked up a few things in Mexico, and my sister sourced some nice furnishings for me in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. I have a refurbished antique dresser from a local thrift shop here in rural SoCal being delivered this weekend. My moving plan is to get a new bed and sofa wherever I land but to bring all my small tables, chests, and chairs with me in a freight cube. Likewise any nice dishware and glassware, plus art, that I've collected over the years, and some books (I have a large collection of art and coffee table books that can't be substituted with digital versions). I don't want to start over, and it's not cost effective (nor desirable to me) to buy new with every move. The trick is to find an unfurnished or minimally furnished place (I'll likely be renting). Then I'd like to add some pieces from local shops too. I love that layering you get when you collect over the decades and can repurpose pieces like your commodes in different ways.

My doc thinks I will be just fine. Now that I know I will most likely not die from this I need to get on with the rest of my life. I hit the pause button because I was worried that if I started anything I might not be here to follow it through. So now I can make some plans and take some action. The problem is I am not sure how to do that. But I watched a few of your videos and I think this is the place to start.

    Having lived in Paris as a single person for 24 years (I'm now in Normandy), this apartment is quite the find. Perfect thart you created a real foyer, which I also consider really important. Also, the amount of storage space is exceptional (the French don't believe in closets, only armoires) - your decoration, though not my taste (I prefer Jean Royère or other French mid-century designers) is so naturally done that it doesn't feel decorated at all, which is the hardest design stunt to pull off. And I LOVE your window treatments, beautiful curtains. Brava

But, I've learned as I've gotten older, that more space isn't what I need- because I then just fill it up with "stuff."

    Incredibly spacious for a Paris apartment - beautifully and elegantly appointed. Love the colour palette. The use of mirrors always makes a space look light and airy. Furnishings are sublime. For me that’s large apartment, but I get for those from America, this would seem small. Love the use of lamps in the kitchen creates a warm ambiance. Making one’s world smaller has great benefit in freeing up one from stuff - the more square footage the more stuff and the more one is having to keep clean and tidy. And maintenance. It’s amazing what we can manage without and only have what brings us joy in creating a harmonious comfortable relaxing home. It’s an expression of oneself.

    I absolutely LOVED your tour and your Paris apt. It’s lovely and is exactly what I’d strive for if I lived there. Everything down to the added molding (or especially the molding) is my taste, exactly. I had to smile when you said the chairs are Pierre Frey as I have an entire Pinterest board on Pierre Frey. I lived in Germany and Austria for about 10 years when I was younger (am now 70) and so I’m not surprised by anything in your apt. I would have loved just a glimpse of the courtyard. Those are some of the loveliest perks of living in European cities (to me). I’m sure this is a different type of podcast for you but it is just right up my alley, I enjoyed it so very much.

    Well, there is a cave for this apartment in the cellar, where I store papers, unused furniture, holiday decorations, etc. but nothing that is fabric. Every one of the cupboards you saw in the bedroom has shelves up to the ceiling so there are loads of storage....and my bed has two big drawers under it where I store sheets, table linens, off season clothing. I think the key is to be creative and figure out ways to divide up and organize things in a cupboard.

I also love that you made it your own and didn’t follow all the fads that tell us what we should like. Thank you for the video.

    In my mind, absolute perfection. So serene and beautiful. Choosing a one bedroom and prioritizing storage in beautiful ways, can really free up your decorating budget and time spent cleaning. Adding in gorgeous mirrors and draperies, and a cohesive color scheme in a small space really helps expand it. Bravo. 👏🏼🌹

    What a lovely visit I’ve just had with you. It really did feel like you were showing just me around your lovely home. And how timely……as I have recently sold my large family home, four years after becoming a widow, with my children all married. I am waiting impatiently for my new apartment to be completed, and for me to start my ‘next chapter’. I took note of your suggestions about beautiful window coverings, and plenty of storage. You have just become my inspiration!

    Mirrors are wonderful! I feel like I am moving! We are getting a tiled floor soon, so we are going through drawers and putting things in tubs to simplify. I say that as an owner of 3 sewing machines, and we are donating things. My things and art are such a part of home to me. I once was promised a month in a friend’s apartment in FRANCE. That was so long ago. Thanks for sharing a modest escape that is more reachable than buying a chateau in France!

How you’ve chosen to furnish it is just how we would do ours (should we ever be lucky enough to live in Europe). We’re working on it, even though we’re now in our retirement years. Mind you, life is short and I feel we could still make the effort to have a change of lifestyle if we put our minds to it. Thank you for showing us your little piece of heaven ❤

    Thank you for showing us your space. If you remember Frank Sinatra (?)singing "It Was A Very Good Year," I was that girl in San Francisco and I did indeed live up a stair in a huge studio with black nylon sheets on a mattress in the corner, no sofa, but I did have an ebony Steinway piano. The large white tile bathroom had a clawfoot bathtub. A sturdy wood soy sauce crate covered in black contact paper perfectly held my LP record collection with the phonograph on top. The huge closet had contained the double size Murphy bed that swung around and was lowered into the room. A pretty window in the closet brought in light that faded the celadon pinwale corduroy pantsuit (bell bottoms) I'd worked so hard to sew. According to Helen Gurley Brown, I was a little "mouseburger" rushing off to temp assignments. These days I still have the red Indian bedspread and the piano. On Sundays I visit Franklin Habit in Paris, being one of his patrons. You two are living a dream for the rest of us. Again, many thanks!

    You’ve done an amazing job at making a plain apartment look like a mini chateau! I’ve just divorced after 20 years of marriage and moved into a an apartment of the same size. You gave me lot of ideas on how to make it look special. I have already thought about antique furniture with character but also loved your tips about handles and knobs and also that gorgeous wallpaper in the hallway. Loved it! I am also impressed on how you have managed to create storage. Wish you all luck with your future endeavours!

    OK, I understand. If you have a lot of money, you can buy a lot of expensive furniture with drawers that can hold your stuff. Novel storage idea. Your apartment is beautiful, but it's enormous for Paris, so the idea of 'downsizing' is disingenuous at best for most of us without your resources.

  • @jaybee8547

    "Commode" is a French word meaning "convenience" which - like many terms - was long ago carried across the English Channel. In UK English & French, a commode is a toilet pot fitted into a chair - before the invention of plumbing - for "convenience". The item of furniture you keep referring to as a "commode" is actually a "wash stand". It would not be convenient to climb up on 24-32" high table to do your business.
