when i was in paris, i couldn’t help but notice that it holds up to its reputation as the la Ville des Lumières — the city of lights. at around 4pm in the afternoon the entire city just glows and i couldn’t snap enough photos to capture all that precious light. it must have made an impression upon me too, because when i sat down to write a post this morning i found myself being drawn to decor that also emits that kind of glow — natural woods, leather, pops of golden textiles like linen and velvet peeking through and giving these rooms a warm and fuzzy feeling, perfect for toasting up these chilly winter months. i came back inspired to redecorate my living room around this glow (and a certain painting i picked up on the streets of paris) — i’ll be sharing very soon!
