Special events & party planner Françoise Dumas' Paris apartment has that time-worn, lived-in feel that's difficult to replicate, both cosy and comfortable and sophisticated at once. The kind that cooly mixes Jacques Grange-designed sofas with 1930's ceramics from the collection of Karl Lagerfeld.
It's time again for introducing the new arrivals at The Shop, and this week, there are so many beautiful things. At Belgrave Crescent, there is the Brontë Small Duffle Bag, a sleek and modern design that comes with two thin handles fastened with gold Chicago screws; there is the Alcott Small Leather Tote, which is the perfect size for everyday, yet strong enough to carry as much as you can fit into it, even two bottles of champagne.
House & Garden recently featured the Georgian home of Jack Laver Brister, an antiques dealer and interior decorator living in Frome, Somerset. The 1780s home, with he shares with his partner Richard Nares, is the most deliciously maximalist with its blend of eighteenth and early nineteenth century furniture, prints, patterns, textures, colours, and art.
