And I can't believe that I am behind on your posts--proof that I have been "in the weeds" as waiters say. <br />Remi and I both have always dreamed of a library/dining room. We almost made it happen in our current apartment but since it was a rental, we decided not to invest in the bookshelves. Good thing to since we have been given the boot! But it is such a romantic idea...add Peggy's touch of a fireplace and I would never leave...<br />I do love fireplaces and could honestly have them in every. Single. Room. <br />We currently have an open plan as our kitchen is really just an indentation in the living room! I actually like it because I am not cut off from guests when I cook--although we do have a screen that we made from old shutters to give me a sense of privacy too. Certainly in France I would never want a completely open kitchen as I have already had far too many women come in to tell me what I was doing wrong! <br />I know deep in my bones that TF is going to be one truly special place, boosted with love and passed on in the family. What an amazing thing to be able to do!<br />Gros Bisous, I owe you an email and I apologize for that!!

We dine on our lanai, surrounded by windows and breezy palms with a view of our outdoor living room (Phillipe Starck bubble sofa, armchairs). Our table is square, a Crate & Barrel expandable piece seating 8. We sit on fold-up party chairs from Linen & Lace--well, Bed, Bath, and Beyond has them, too. I painted them a beautiful plumbago blue color...a nice contrast to the aqua wall and the massive lime-green palm leaves :)<br />Happy Thanksgiving to you and Mr. H.
