polaroids as home decor

27 Thursday Dec 2012

i am always looking for ways to incorporate the polaroids i have taken over the years into my home decor, and i have so far come with two.

first: put stacks of polaroids in a decorative bowl.  it encourages both you and your guests to rifle through them on a whim, and relive some old memories.

polaroid 1polaroid 4two:  arrange polaroids in a grid and frame them, using a simple black frame and a white mat.  i used some of my favorite images from my trip to paris in september.

polaroid 2because i wanted to add some dimension, i loosely taped the polaroids down onto the backing, instead of glueing them.  this will allow me to switch out the images later if i want, and gives the whole piece a more organic feel.

angelina tearoom – paris

26 Wednesday Sep 2012

probably my favorite food experience in paris.

we went for breakfast, and i had to get the famous hot chocolate.  it is basically liquid chocolate, which you then stir whipped cream into.

the cream actually makes it easier to drink because it is so thick.

stirring in the cream…

oh and they have other treats too.

#sugarcomaforever but totally worth it.

hotel thoumieux

22 Saturday Sep 2012

here are some pictures of my awesome hotel in paris — hotel thoumieux.

i know the decor isn’t for everyone, but i absolutely loved the dizzying mix of patterns.

the bathroom is marble, complete with a clawfoot tub.

possibly the best part: full size aesop products.  i took 3 showers a day just so i could keep using them (not joking…).

actually this was the best part.  this is the view from outside the hotel, down the street.

i want to go back immediately.  for those of you traveling to paris who want a boutique hotel experience, i would highly recommend the hotel thoumieux.
