Welcome to Dwell !

This summer I recently found myself fullfilling a lifelong dream to travel Europe.  An Interior Designer who hasn't been to Europe you ask ?  Well, no longer.  This summer my husband and I ventured away to the illuminating countries of France, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria and Germany !   A world rich in history and the fine art of living, . . . it really is true, . . . 

Europe is transformational  . . .

Paris, a little garden stroll in the 

backyard of the Palace of Versailles.

Arc de Triumph, a landmark at the famous shopping

street, Champs d'Elysee

Statues of this craftsmanship are at every corner of Paris,

so much expression, this one is representing 

a famous Napoleonic victory.

No oversights on detail, it's everywhere.

Saint Chapelle, 3000sqft of stained glass,

 depicting biblicial stories

A mere portion of the front facade 

of the Church of Notre Dame

Winged Victory, at the Louvre, truly takes your breath away.

The monumental figure stands alone in the vast and spacious 

entry of the Louvre, something about it's beauty 

commands your awe

For any art history lover, the Louvre is a spellbinding experience,

one of world's greatest art museums, in what used to be the world's

largest palace housing several french kings.

This complex architectural structure was added 

in the extensive renovation to make it a museum

A typical metro station in Paris,

music and people on the go.

You won't find one the same . . .

 Are any of the metros dull you ask ?  Ah no. 

If you have not found a place  born to

 fine fashion, the Parisians  just do it naturally.

There's so much more to show you than this.

I have realized though, there's just no question, . . .

Paris instantly feels like home.
