The Skeletal Parisian Apartment


Renting a Parisian apartment is a brand new experience. It comes with nothing! You do not get any appliances, cupboards or any other built in storage. Unless you are coming from another apartment, which we are not, you have to start from zero. Considering the fact that in this city an apple can cost you .80 cents, the budget for getting this place looking like a home is be quite tight. 

This is what I am working with:

Living Room (right side)


Living Room (left side)

Bedroom (non-working fireplace)

Welcome to my life...Nice to meet you!


Paris is not a cheap city to live in, much less decorate in. Having married a French man, and rented a French apartment I will now attempt to DIY project my life until it resembles something akin to la vie en rose......or at least as good as through a nice pair of rose colored glasses.
