good reads: appartements de filles à paris.
i love paumes books, even though i can rarely read a word of them. the photographs speak volumes, though, so a pretty picture book is never a waste of inspiration. paumes is a small, family-run Japanese publisher, working in close contact with artists and designers all over the world to bring you these beautiful books featuring designers’ homes, apartments, studios and ateliers.
the lovely yvonne from yvestown blog is a distributor for paumes, so you can easily order these books directly from her website. she recently sent me this beautiful new paumes, called ‘appartements de filles à paris‘ which is the sequel to the well-received book ‘Petits appartements à Paris‘. the new books are so popular, they hard to keep in stock, but if you don’t mind a short wait, you’ll find the wait well worth it, and plenty of older titles are readily available in the yvestown shop! thanks yvonne!
Thanks for sharing the photos. I had seen that book in the yvestown shop, but wasn’t sure if it was the best choice for me. Now after seeing the photos here, I know it’s the right book for me! I own two other Paumes books. LOVE them.
oh my ~ I adore this.
Dang, Victoria! I just spent about 60euro thanks to you!!
i love these books and have dozens.:)
so matt – welcome to my world!
I love this! I’ll have to get it now!
what a great contrast of colors and design ideas! i love the “anything goes” you make your own rules… just follow your own colorful, playful, creative, little heart <3
Oh my goodness—even if I can’t read a word, I MUST get my hands on a copy. So much inspiration for my apartment! XO
Love these books!! Bought some at Henry Road at xmas – http://henryroad.com/books.html
The pictures are so beautiful. The rooms almost look like colorfully awesome doll houses!
Oh wow, very neat, I have never seen these before, I love how colors are used with complete abandon!!!
