Whoa, is it really December already?? This is a busy travel month for me so it’s going to be a mad frenzy around here while I try to get things done in between trips. Thanks for all the sore throat suggestions this week. It feels a lot better although now I sound like Peppermint Patty. (That’s the husband’s description.)

Anyway ….. let’s take a look at the only chateau-hotel in Paris – the St. James Hotel - because there are so many great design ideas to take away.

As a francophile, there’s nothing I don’t like about this place.

Check out the ceiling:

The painted detail around the drapes is something I haven’t seen before and I really love it:

Black and white toile and stripes are always good together:

The interesting striped wallpaper is a perfect background for the gothic headboard and I like how it’s echoed in the drapes and walls:

This soft color palette is so pretty and here’s a sunburst collection done right:

Baroque headboard, bubble pendants and Bergeres all work beautifully in this serene room:

This is my dream bathroom:

That vanity and those tiles!

And check out how cute the website is:
