Où Coco Est?

Eagerly anticipating English release of Coco Before Chanel into theatres in September (why does France get it a whole 6 months beforehand? No fair). Incorporates 3 of my favourite things: Audrey Tatou, the French language and France in general, and Madame Chanel - one of my 'when-I-grow-up' heros. 

Found on youtube, a rare glimpse into her home at 18 Place Vendome. Features a delicious close up of the wheatchaff-base table I mentioned last year.

Indoor Bugs that Don't Gross Me Out

Found on the lovely VT Interiors Library blog, these wallpaper designs by interior designer Brad Ford. Apparently they are from his site, though I couldn't find them when I went for a looksee. 

Slightly reminiscent of Timorous Beasties, sans overt subversiveness.

Jan Fyt's Dead and Beautiful

Not being a fan of still life paintings in general, I never really spend much time looking at them. But these by Jan Fyt (Flemish, 1611–1661) are captivating. I'm not sure exactly what it is I find fascinating, but the subject is as beautiful as a portrait. These images found on the Met Museum online collection database.
