Parisian Homes via Japan
Bonjour, mes amis! Welcome to Day 1 of FROM THE RIGHT BANK from the right bank!
If you like Paris and you like peeking into real people’s homes (two of my favorite things), this post is for you. I posted about Paumes books way back in 2009 but there are many new titles to tell you about. If you’re not familiar with Paumes, it is a Japanese publishing company that produces the world’s cutest little books of real homes in several European cities.
The newest title is Paris Creative Couples:
Another one that is new (to me) is Paris Kitchens 2:
I learned through Bodie et Fou (which sells some of the Paumes titles)Â that the kitchen on the cover is this kitchen that I have been completely in love with for ages:
Cow parsley in pink! With blue! And brass! And Series 7′s and Bertoias! It’s just too good.
Last but not least, there is Bureaux à la Maison (Home Offices):
You know I’m obsessed with workspaces so this one is a must-have for me.
I’m going to try to track down copies of these while I’m in Paris but you can order directly from their website using Paypal. You may question buying something from Japan right now. But as they state on their website, getting on with their everyday lives is one of the ways Japan will get back to normal. I couldn’t agree more.
So, aside from books, I’m going to be shopping for fabrics and hopefully take in an auction or two. More on that tomorrow …..
Don’t forget to enter the giveaway of Irish blessing prints!
Love these – hope you are having the most wonderful time in Paris Ally xo

Paumes books are fantastic and I ordered my very first copy a few years ago – and of course it was one of the ‘Swedish’ titles.
I haven’t checked their site for a long time but am definitely putting the ‘Paris kitchens’ (OMG that kitchen on the front as you say..!) as well as ‘Paris creative couples’ on my wishlist (love her yellow dress btw!).
Thanks for the tip.
