French - clarisse - cafe turned apartment 1 

Clarisse is a decorator who lives in France in a cafe-turned-apartment.  How lovely is this?  The pink door to the original telephone booth is gorgeous!

What a convenient dressing area!  I'd love one like this – despite having a very large walk-in closet that truly makes me feel closed-in when I enter it. I'm contemplating turning my bedroom closet into storage for items that don't need to be accessed regularly, and then I'll get a simple IKEA wardrobe in which to keep my current wardrobe and accessories.

For some reason, this photo of a kitchen makes me think it's what all French kitchens look like: baskets, wire mesh on the shelves, jars with colorful contents, pretty trays….. Am I even close?

    Oooh, the pink door made me squeal! Everything else about this place is gorgeous, too. 🙂 Of course – what else would you expect in France?

    This is so lovely! I should do something like the dressing area in my room. The closet I have is nightmarishly small.

    I love that door and it has the original glass on it. Gorgeous! Do you know the age of the house?

    I really like your apartment specially that pink door. I also like the concept of cupboard. It just simple and large enough. I will sure follow your article in future. Thank you!
