trådig IKEA
I haven’t seen it in North America yet…does anyone know when it is making its debut?

OAS collection wallpapers drape the inside of this delightful White Cabana on wheels.
While researching for the wallpaper post appearing next week I found these lovely examples of wallpaper as the backdrop to various interiors of this oval white motor home trailer.
Wouldn’t you love a white cabana to go?
P.S. Thank you to Jordana here at White Cabana for taking me on this wonderful white blogging trip: I’ll go anywhere with you in this white white world!

Travel: Paris’ Marché aux Puces
Posted: August 3, 2010 Filed under: Jordana, Marketplace, Travel | Tags: antique, antique market, cabaret, Chez Louisette, collections, flea market, Marché aux Puces, Paris, Porte de Clignacourt, Travel 2 CommentsParis is full of history – obvious enough, right? For a walk through the past, visit the Marché aux Puces at the Porte de Clignancourt. Furniture, clothing, accessories and every day knick-knacks from periods gone by are housed in this large antique market at the edge of Paris. The atmosphere is lively and busy and there are plenty of things to grab (and keep!) your attention for hours.

For a bite to eat and some Edith Piaf entertainment, visit Chez Louisette.
