This would be my Marie-Antoinette-meeting-Sofia-Coppola-colour-inspired post. As you know already, I've been reading Antonia Fraser's biography of the queen and I recently saw Coppola's film in full length. Those of you who have seen it are aware that the colours are absolutely sensational; the film is a feast for the eyes. Marie Antoinette loved pale blue, pale green and lavender-grey colours, but she hated orange. I was doing a little search online when I came across these French inspired images. This is the work of a woman named Catherine, a lawyer who lives in Mill Valley, California. [Update: it turns out that she has a blog: the golden touch] She obviously has a passion for interior design and in 2007 she won the Domino magazine design contest (oh, how I miss Domino magazine!). They called the space a French boudoir. I just had to share these photos with you because even though I wouldn't decorate my own place that way, I simply love the colour combination – beautiful and so feminine. I wouldn't mind having the chair with the flowery patterned backside in my own bedroom.
Have a sweet Sunday!
